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.

From every angle, the "Lutecia" is not overdone.

The Lutecia left Nakameguro and arrived at Kagurazaka . Even in this town with its many narrow alleys, the compact car drives smoothly and nimbly.

. it is indeed a compact car. . Paris has many narrow alleys, so I can see why it was made to this size. . The steering wheel is light, so it is very easy to maneuver. I think this makes it easy for women to drive. Also, when you step on the accelerator, the car starts moving smoothly and smoothly. The reaction is very good. Some people may feel stressed by this, but I don't feel that with the Lutecia. The interior is quiet, and I can hardly hear the engine, so I can hear the music clearly. In my case, I go to Hakone and Yokosuka with my family, so I can enjoy conversation with them.

On the other hand, Mr. Hirayama also mentioned the interior design. He said, "From every angle, there is nothing left out."

. the interior is nice and simple in terms of the placement of buttons, etc. . . but the use of materials gives the impression of high quality and richness. . The seats also have a good balance of firmness and cushioning, and I feel secure when I sit in them. . Besides, the instrument panel is digital and designed for high visibility, which is a nice touch. The touch screen also has no wasted space in its design or functions, making it easy to operate. The Lutecia is truly a wonderful car.
