The Renault E-Tech Hybrid based on a 1.6l H4M (HR16DE) engine and a DB1 gearbox, has the problem that Renault failed to mention. A seal in the gearbox is badly made and oil leaks internally. At best, the temperature sensor is broken, but the electric motor can also fail and immobilize the vehicle.
In some countries, Renault denies the trouble and you should repair the car at your own expense (and replacing the gearbox is very expensive).
I wouldn't recommend buying a E-Tech hybrid Renault until the recall is initiated by Renault (if they do it at all).
