Renault’s Ondelios Concept

The Renault Ondelios is a truly unique concept that will be officially revealed to the public during the Paris Motor Show. It is a “far out” concept design that is truly futuristic with its elongated and smooth lines.

The dark-colored carbon fiber body and two gull-wing doors swing up and the side sills lower to become steps, thus easing ingress into the six-seat CUV of tomorrow. Passengers will find slim line seats inside that recline like a business class seat with footrests, as well as personal entertainment devices on the back of each cantilevered headrest. The dash is smooth and built with controls that light up from underneath the surface and the various outboard cameras are projected at the base of the raked windshield.

Underneath the hood of the Ondelios is a 2.0 liter dCi hybrid engine that is supported by two electric motors that are placed at each end. Renault bragged that the hybrid concept will come with a 7 speed double clutch transmission and can rev from 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds.
