Renault Altica: A Sporty Estate With the Accent on Practicality

Renault Altica A Sporty Estate With the Accent on Practicality
Renault has taken the wraps off its new concept car, Altica, a sporty estate that combines flowing lines with a spacious interior.

Its dynamic stance is underpinned by a long bonnet and curved forms, while its modular interior ensures outstanding load capacity.

Altica stands out as a dynamic vision of the estate, combining the practicality of the latter, the sports appeal of a coup� and a high standard of travelling comfort.

The panoramic windscreen and rear window underline the car's fluid aerodynamics.

The two-tone paintwork accentuates the side design and also asserts Altica's graphic identity.

The car's overall stance - low-slung lines, long bonnet, prominent wings - and proportions express true sports car dynamics.

Comprised of a mosaic of transparent panes, the rear quarter lights suggest forward movement.

Altica's interior mirrors its sporty, dynamic exterior design. The suspended drive station is held in place by four profiled rods that hint at the world of Formula 1.

The transparent roof and panoramic windscreen erase the boundary between the interior and the outside world and also ensure a brightly-lit cabin.

The mosaic design of the rear quarter lights allows sunlight to filter into the cabin much like it does through stained glass windows and gives the interior a more welcoming feel.
