The ambition of the Renault Emblème project was to maximise decarbonisation with a car that is family-friendly, attractive, comfortable, high-tech and versatile.
More than a concept car, it is a working Ampere technology- powered demo-car unveiled and that is a pleasure to look at, to sit in and to drive. A real invitation to take to the road!
Elegant, flowing lines
Renault Emblème features a strongly curved profile. It is an elegant combination of an estate, with a wide wheelbase of 2.90 metres, and a coupé with a moderate height of 1.52 metres and flowing roofline. The shooting brake looks are showcased by the dichroic effect of the green bodywork, making the colour look different depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
The vehicle is 4.80 metres long, making it ideal for comfortable family travel, with passengers and luggage. Emblème also symbolises Renault’s stated ambition to continue innovating in the C segment and higher, in line with its value-based strategy.
Exploring new paths in design inspired by the Renault logo, the light signature is intended to be both high-tech and easily identifiable.
A high-tech cabin
Renault Emblème embodies a Ampere’s vision of the future where onboard technologies and innovation are required to be useful, concrete and humanised. This is particularly true of the new cockpit facing the driver and passenger at the front.
The elegantly curved openR panorama screen stretches the entire length of the dashboard. Its size of 1.2 m long and 12 cm high (display in 8K quality on a 48-inch) offers an unprecedented multimedia experience which means that both driver and passenger can benefit from both shared and dedicated information.
Operation of most functions, such as the multimedia system, is highly intuitive. Operation is via a second touchscreen located on the center console, and a single rotary knob complemented by controls on the steering wheel. The applications available on the second screen appear in the form of tiles (navigation, multimedia, Safety Coach, MyCar, etc.), which you simply slide up to display on the upper screen.
While technology is omnipresent on board Renault Emblème, the approach is very much “Shy Tech”. The interior features create a relaxed ambience, inviting the driver to take the wheel. The central screen gains a low-key matt film, while the buttons and touch-sensitive keys on the doors are housed under the textile. Each screen is energy-efficient, with automatic deactivation of the LEDs in the black display areas and local dimming.
Artificial intellilgence for safe, efficient driving
The operating systems of Renault Emblème use artificial intelligence to make life easier for the driver, while also contributing to energy efficiency and onboard safety.
Using the driving aids supplied through the advanced human/machine interface, the driver is able to adopt a driving style that is both energy-efficient and safe, in order to further reduce energy consumption. To motivate the driver, the “eco score” and “safety score” apps give specific scores for each journey, along with encouragement and tips for improvement.
These driving aids also enable the driver to adapt their driving reflexes in real time, depending on the situation, in order to improve their scores.
In the same way as with sports apps, drivers can use their smartphone to analyse their journey, compare themselves with others and earn rewards.
In the same way, the Active Driver Assist system which gives access to driving delegation does so in a contextual manner. It relies on geolocation data associated with specific mapping to predictively adapt driving to the road layout, anticipating roundabouts, bends as well as changes in speed limits, for the benefit of the efficiency and therefore energy consumption.
Finally, the journey planner, continuously optimized according to the evolution of the various parameters (availability of charging points, evolution of vehicle consumption, outside temperature, etc.), suggests the route optimizing energy management in order to consume less while minimizing travel time.
