Renault DeZir Concept Car will be one of the vehicle displayed in Renault’s booth in this year Motor Show in Paris. This will set a point that a new styling from Renault. Laurens van den Acker as the new design vice president for Renault, has previously worked with Mazda and designed the Mazda Nagare, Ryuga , Hakaze Concept until he resigned with Mazda in 2009 and join Renault since then. It’s hard to denied that we do see some “emotional” styling been inherited here.
[singlepic id=3166 w=630 h= float=center]The DeZir concept delivers a simple, sensuous, warm look and feel according to Renault. In our opinion, Renault is making it’s own Audi R8 or rather Audi E-tron. The new concept car will be powered by the same size 24 kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery in the Nissan Leaf which has the driving range of 100 miles which is about 161km. The DeZir Concept Car is powered by a 100kW electronic motor and it’s rear wheel drive. The car weights only 1830 pound and will do an expected 0-100 in about 5 seconds.

There’s no indication yet from Renault that DeZir will be produced. Right now it remains a study concept. We would expect more details on this Renault DeZir nearing or during the Paris Motor Show this year.
