I’m very happy with how the process went from my initial inquiry to after my car was delivered. Once I had made my selection online, I received a friendly phone call from Rory Turner, who was extremely knowledgeable about my car and the whole process, and he talked me through the necessary documents for the finance, etc. Rory sent regular updates on the progress of my application. It was an easy and pleasant experience. Great to deal with a real person!

The Rafale name will mean quite a lot to aviation lovers, whether it’s used for the Dassault Rafale fighter jet or the Renault-engined Caudron racers of the 1930s, but now Renault hopes it will become a household name among motorists. The new Rafale is a larger, coupe-shaped take on the Austral family SUV, but one with some slightly more premium aspirations, which put it in the firing line of some pretty big players.
Yes, Renault wants this to be seen as a rival to the Audi Q5 Sportback, the BMW X4 and even the Range Rover Evoque, but the French company has given it a comparatively low list price with which it hopes to entice customers away. Will it work for those looking to lease, and will the Rafale have what it takes to shoot down the premium aces?
