SMC RENAULT HOSTS ELECTRIC VEHICLE TOUR AT RHS WISLEY


 

NEWS FROM RENAULT

 

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, 4th September 2012

 

 

Motorists will be able to experience the electrifying thrill of the Renault Twizy at a special driving event at RHS Wisley this weekend (14th, 15th and 16th September).

The event is part of Renault’s Z.E. Test Drive Tour 2012 and has been organised for SMC Renault customers in Weybridge, Woking and the group’s newest dealership in Aldershot.

Alongside the Renault Twizy, attendees will also be able to test drive the Fluence Z.E., Renault’s five-seat family saloon and the Kangoo Van Z.E. , currently, the International Van of the Year to see for themselves just how user-friendly these vehicles are.  The Renault Zoe will also be on display while staff from SMC Renault will be on hand to answer any questions about day-to-day life with an electric car.

RHS Wisley is just one of 16 select locations across the country to host the event and was chosen as the gardens have a long standing relationship with Renault and provide a fitting backdrop for the range of 'environmentally responsible' vehicles.

Keith Wheeler, Sales and Marketing Director at SMC Weybridge, said: “We know that local motorists will have read all about the buzz surrounding Renault’s electric range so we thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to enable drivers to experience driving them in the beautiful grounds of RHS Wisley.

“Renault  Twizy really does turn heads thanks to its unique style and looks and is great fun to drive. It’s ideal for city motoring and is affordable, with prices starting from as little as £6,690. The Renault Fluence Z.E. is available from just £17,850 on the road, taking into account the £5,000 electric vehicle grant from the government, with a battery lease of £75 per month, based on a mileage of 6,000 per year over three years.  Meanwhile, the Kangoo Van Z.E. is available from £13,592 plus VAT, with monthly battery hire of £60 per month.

“We’re inviting people to come and try out the cars, subject to availability of test drives on the day, and also to gain free entry into the gardens.”
