The Renault Modus and Grand Modus also has a lower environmental impact: with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and use of recycled and renewable materials, Modus can boast the eco2 label on three of their four engines.

The 2013 Renault Modus was the fi rst vehicle of its category to receive 5 stars in the EuroNCAP test (August 2004), while the Grand Modus enjoys the same benefi ts and equipment in terms of safety. They light automatically (below 40mph) when taking a corner and provide a widened fi eld of vision for the driver.

2013 Renault Modus and 2013 Grand Modus with vehicles, weight is a top priority because it is the main criterion impacting emissions. Reducing vehicle weight by 10 kg cuts CO2 emissions by 1 g/km. Renault’s vehicles lose weight every year thanks to the use of new and more environment- friendly materials. Even though it is 10 cm longer, the latest Mégane has lost eight kilos and features more equipment. And even more spectacularly, Laguna Diesel 110 hp shed a full 65 kg, while passenger comfort has been further improved.

2013 Renault Modus with engines, our teams have mastered the art of downsizing. The goal is to develop engines with a smaller cubic capacity that are just as powerful, thanks to a more efficient turbocharger. The result is a range of powerful and fuel-efficient engines that are accessible to all. With this family of new-generation engines, Renault is making a big step forward in its downsizing strategy. These engines will introduce the latest CO2 technologies, positioning Renault as a leader in carbon-efficient and frugal vehicles that remain a pleasure to drive. The first engine in this family will be the Energy dCi 130, launched in May 2011 on Scénic and Grand Scénic. It has all the performance of its predecessor, developing 96 kW (130 hp), and more torque (320 Nm) over a broader operating range. It will be the most efficient 1.6 diesel engine on the market.

The technologies used Stop and Start and energy recovery during braking and decelerating, plus variable swirl, thermo-management and a variable capacity oil pump will reduce the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of our models by 20%. Scénic and Grand Scénic will be the first minivans/MPVs in their category to go under the 120 g/km CO2 mark with fuel consumption of 4.5 l/100 km, down one liter. The Energy dCi 130 engine will be produced at the Cléon site, renowned for its expertise in high-tech diesel engines, such as the M9R and V9X.
