Renault’s fully electric concept robo-car offers first-class lounge on wheels
French carmaker says lavishly designed limousine, unveiled at Paris Motor Show, gives us a glimpse of how luxury ride-sharing will look and feel in future
Renault unveiled a self-driving, fully electric luxury concept robo-car at the 2018 Paris Motor Show on Wednesday that will combine connected car technology with traditional French luxury.
“Inspired by contemporary architecture and completely integrated in future smart cities, EZ-Ultimo will provide an exclusive experience for all,” Laurens van den Acker the French carmaker’s senior vice-president of corporate design, said.
“With autonomous, electric and connected cars, we are entering a new exciting era in automotive design.”
Renault said the space-age concept vehicle is not focused on individual ownership.
Instead, the lavishly designed limousine – like a mobile first-class lounge – is meant to give us a glimpse of how luxury ride-sharing could look and feel in the future.
EZ-Ultimo is designed to be available on-demand for rides that last from an hour up to a whole day.
Doors on the concept car slide along the side to open.
