Launched in early 1993, the Safrane was part of a new wave of 'named' (rather than numbered) Renaults that signified a new era of quality, reliability and sales success for the French company in Britain.1993年初发射,safrane的一部分新一波'命名为'(而非编号),标志着一个新时代renaults质量可靠性和销售的法国公司在英国的成功.
The first Safranes to reach these shores in February 1993 were powered by 2.0, 2.2 four cylinder and 3.0-litre V6 petrol engines.首先到达澳洲safranes一九九三年二月贮2.0、2月2日和4缸3.0升V6的汽油发动机. The 2.0-litre was initially available only with RT trim but cheaper RN versions arrived in May at which point the RT lost its standard air conditioning.<2.0公升最初只限逆转录笔挺便宜,但在5月22日抵达这一点版本的逆转录失去水准空调. The V6 came only with RXE trim.V6导来到了只有rxe浪.
A third engine was added to the range in March 1994.第三,增加发动机的射程在1994年3月. It was a 2.2-litre four-cylinder and was sold with RN, RT, RT Executive and Vi Executive trim.这是一个2.2公升四缸和销售6.6%,逆转录,逆转录行政长官和第六浪.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫
Renault always made much of the way that the Safrane's occupants were ?cocooned?雷诺总是做出很多方式,safrane的住客?呵护? within a spacious and comfortable environment.在宽敞、舒适的环境. For the driver, there's a specially designed dashboard which 'opens out' towards the passengers and flows into the door panels.为司机,有特制的仪表板'开出'和对乘客流向大门板. For the facelifted October 1996-onwards cars, stowage spaces were incorporated throughout, with lidded bins in the front door armrests and there were new, softer colours to further improve the atmosphere over the original Safrane.1996年10月为facelifted-起车,装载空间纳入各地、与封装箱的前门扶手上,新增加柔和的色彩,以进一步改善大气比原先safrane.
The cars' dynamics are pretty much up to German standards and so is the build integrity.车上的动力是由德国不相上下的是建立完整的标准等.

A higher-spec RT will be an extra £100 or so and an automatic version a further £100.高光谱逆转录将额外100英镑左右,再自动版本100英镑.

The 2.0-litre cars on 94L-plates are around £1,600 and the 2.2s start at about the same.<2.0公升汽车九亿四千一百万板是1600英镑左右,挫伤晚上伯仲. You won't find too many turbo diesels (the facelifted second-generation cars were petrol only, as the TD never sold very well) but they should start at under £2,000 for the first 1995 examples.你不会找到太多涡轮柴油(facelifted二代车仅汽油、运输署没有卖出很好的),但他们必须在开始的头95年在二千英镑的例子.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Big French cars have always had a difficult time in the UK, though almost all of them have been excellent products that deserved more success in this overly cautious market.法国车一向有大困难的时候,英国虽然几乎所有的产品都经过得更加出色,在这成功的市场过于谨慎. The Safrane was a case in point.safrane的是一个例证. The cars were reliable, parts were readily available and affordable but some people were out of touch with 1990s French luxury cars and their strong, reliable nature.车辆都是可靠零部件一应俱全,但有些人负担脱节法国1990辆轿车,其强可靠性.
Engines were all well proven and transmissions equally so.发动机和变速器都充分证明,同样如此. Corrosion is not much of an issue either.腐蚀不大的问题. Keep an eye out for electrical gremlins in some of the early Safranes, though.换证电动gremlins一些早期safranes各异. Make sure electric seats, sunroof and windows all slide effortlessly and that the central locking and air conditioning are trouble-free too.做到电灯席位所有窗户和天窗,中央锁,用力下滑,空调运行自如. Interiors generally are built to last but loose trim and the odd rattle may give you a bargaining point with the seller while being easily remedied.但总体上是建立内部松散修剪、摇铃可以给你一个多元的角度与卖方讨价还价而容易纠正.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Luxury, rather than driving excitement, has been Renault's priority here.豪华而非驾驶兴奋,一直雷诺优先这里. Which isn't to say that the Safrane can't be quite fun hustling along a twisting secondary road.这不是说不能safrane制式沿着曲折中颇为有趣的道路. Even the 2.0-litre model has a responsive, eager feel and pulls well enough from low speeds to make you feel that you might be behind the wheel of a V6.就连2.0升的反应模式,感觉不好拉拔急于从低转速使你觉得你有可能是背后的车轮V6导. The Safrane was never a serious BMW-challenger in the chassis department, but it was never meant it to be.safrane从未认真的宝马-挑战者的底盘处,但它绝不会. Think of it as more of a machine to pamper you and your passengers and you'll be less critical of its handling limitations.更觉得是一机来疼惜你和你的乘客就会少批评其处理时效.
OVERALL 总体
