While the focus at the Paris motor show is on high-end concept cars and fast offerings from the likes of Aston Martin, local company Renault is highlighting fuel efficiency.
The Eolab plug-in hybrid supermini has claimed figures of 1litre/100km and emits only 22g/km of carbon dioxide.
Renault expects it to go into production by 2020.
The car has more than 100 technical innovations to cut fuel consumption, including aerodynamics, lightweight components and a hybrid drivetrain. Renault says it can travel up to 60km at up to 120km/h on its electric engine.
