The combination of analogue and digital displays is a further expression of classic cars and the modern era. The air conditioning controls located at each end of the dashboard can be independently adjusted by each occupant and combine advanced technology and ease of use.

The intuitive controls are inspired by the Touch Design approach. The centrally-mounted, rotary gear shift is easy and comfortable to use. The conveniently positioned multimedia information controls can be easily reached, while the stalk switches and control paddles mounted on the steering wheel are designed to match the shape of the driver's hands.

The seats are fixed, but the steering wheel and the pedals can be adjusted by a motor-driven mechanism to match the driver's dimensions. The dashboard features special storage compartments for glasses and other personal objects, while the central console also has a sliding cubby located between the rear seats. The red leather upholstery creates an impression of continuity between the vehicle interior and the engine compartment. Both bench seats are coated with leather decorated with printed patterns. The four comfortable seats are secured to the floor by aluminium struts reminiscent of sailing boats.

DVD screens with folding protective covers are installed in the upper sections of the backs of the front seats. The lower sections are decorated with elegant leather netting that is ideal for storing magazines.

The rear passengers are protected against turbulence by the transparent air deflectors positioned between the front and rear seats.



A powerplant designed for pleasure

Renault Nepta's longitudinally mounted 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine is the embodiment of pleasure at the wheel. This 420hp powerplant takes just 4.9 seconds to reach 100kph from a standing start. Coupled to the seven-speed automatic gearbox with flick-shift controls mounted on the steering wheel, this direct injection petrol engine combines an outstanding drive with a significant reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.



Michelin

This tyre was designed specifically to take account of the aerodynamic constraints related to the effects of speed and the loads generated by the tyre as it moves through the air.

The effect is created by a tread with a large pattern that is shallow and gradually deepens from the inner to the outer shoulder. The shape of the tread is reminiscent of the air flows and the vortex effect.

The inside, which is smoother and more solid, provides the stiffness required to transmit the engine torque and provide traction, very much like a slick tyre. The tread on the outer shoulder is deeper for better grip and improved control of vehicle direction.

The outer wall of this tyre was designed for a more sporty drive and increased comfort, while retaining the road-holding and the grip offered by the PAX tyre.



Valeo

Renault Nepta's lighting systems use high-performance LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The colour of the LEDs improves visibility and is more gentle on the eyes. The LEDs are more durable than current light sources and consume less energy, making them the ideal choice for future vehicles.
