A necessity for urban life. Lutecia brings a sense of exuberance and lightness to everyday life.

The LUTECIA from the French-born car brand RENAULT is a car that enjoys high popularity in Europe. It has many attractive features, such as cool car design, high-quality interior, and powerful driving performance. But why does it satisfy people? We explore the answer with Yoji Hirayama, director of the PR office "HEMT PR. It feels good to drive through the city," says Mr. Hirayama. Let's follow his day in the city and find out what makes Lutecia so appealing.

Compact and charming , but with a very neat face.

Mr. Hirayama gets into the "Lutetia" again and heads for a certain place . He had one meeting outside that day, so he bought a souvenir before heading to his destination.

I have the image that Renault is driven by people who are particular about their cars. I don't think [Renault] is a meek car brand. I think they have secured a very good position. Although it is a foreign car, it has a familiar feel to it, and I highly recommend it, especially for first-time car buyers. The Lutecia is easy to drive and has a very attractive design.

Why is the design so attractive . When asked about it, Mr. Hirayama gave the following answer.

. the flowing form is very beautiful. . The design is smooth and flexible, so it blends in with the landscape. . But I also think there is originality in the small details that you can't find anywhere else. For example, the headlights. They are very sharply designed and give the car a crisp, smart impression.

The Lutecia is a car that has gained the support of many people in Europe. The Renault design team developed this car with the spirit of "creating a piece of scenery. As if to prove this, the car can be seen everywhere in Paris, where the brand is based.

The form is compact and sporty , but the face is very neat. I think this balance is what makes this car so appealing. I think this multifaceted design is the reason why it fits in with the urban landscape. It is a design not seen in domestic cars, and I think it is a car that fits people who live an urban lifestyle.
