New Vel Satis: Travel Business Class

The daring and modern lines of Vel Satis have gently evolved with New Vel Satis.

The cabin has gained in functionality and elegance.

Inside, quality materials and the blending of upholsteries surround each passenger with comfort and refinement.

Many of the features already fitted to Vel Satis, such as the parking aid system, the xenon headlamps and the navigation system, have been further developed.

The existing range of engines and transmissions is retained, but with more power and torque for the 2.0 Turbo engine and a particulate filter for the 2.2 dCi engine.

On sale in France from April 8, 2005, New Vel Satis illustrates the priority allocated by Renault to safety and quality.

From design through to recycling, New Vel Satis is in step with Renault's approach to sustainable development.

Some 95% of its total weight can be recycled.

Its manufacture includes parts made from recycled and recovered materials.

New Vel Satis is made in a production facility which has gained ISO 14001 certification, aimed at reducing environmental impact: the limitation of polluting emissions, of packing materials, of energy and water consumption.

In 2001 Renault received the French "Golden Decibel" award for its achievements in reducing noise emissions from Vel Satis (71dB compared with the 74dB specified by current standards).
