480 Vs 620 HP for Pure AWD?

[THE703KG]

Why does the Air Pure have 480 HP with the dual motor AWD, however the Touring has 620 HP with the same dual motor AWD? And they both have the same battery range.

Because the Touring costs $20k more?

I think the question is why doesnt the Touring have less of a range since it uses more power, no?

Ahh, well, it's not using 620 HP all the time. 620 is the max. Put it in smooth, and you are limited to probably less than the Pure's 480.

If you drive it in Swift, flooring it all the way up a steep hill in the middle of winter, you will not get 425 mi of range.

You can't compare the max HP with the maximum range possible.

They are relatively unrelated. Here’s a really good article on that: https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/new...anding-the-power-output-of-an-electric-motor/

Does the Pure have Swift and Sprint settings? If so, what is the difference?

It does, but each mode would have a lower max power than Touring, which has a lower max value than GT. I don't think anyone knows the specific numbers. But some have compared Touring in Swift with GT in Smooth. But that's not really accurate, as the different modes do more than limit HP. Steering is adjusted, suspension, etc.
