The show will also mark the UK show debut of the eagerly-awaited fully-electric Fluence Z.E. saloon. This three-hugging saloon will go on sale in the British market in the first half of 2012, priced from £17,850 on-the-road after the deduction of the £5,000 Plug-In Car Grant. We’d also mention that there’s an additional cost to take into consideration: a separate battery lease contract from £69.60 per month, based on 6,000 miles/3 years. Additional mileage and contract length details will be available closer to UK launch.
The initial launch version of Fluence Z.E. - called Prime Time - comes with with 16” alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control, ecoMeter and Carminat TomTom Live smart satellite navigation, together with charging sockets on both front wings.
The Fluence Z.E. will also promises an enjoyable driving experience through its 70kW (95hp) power and generous 226 Nm of instant torque on tap. The UK estimated range of Renault’s flagship Z.E. is up to 115 miles, depending on driving and road conditions.
Joining the electric Fluence under the EcoVelocity spotlight will be Renault’s Kangoo Van Z.E., the world’s first electric van produced by a mass-market manufacturer. The workhorse is available in two-seat Kangoo Van and Maxi guise, or five-seat Crew Van, priced from £16,990 excluding VAT. Monthly battery hire starts at £62 per month based on 9,000 miles per year and a four-year agreement.
