Dynamics, luxury, and technology meld into the next generation of compact luxury.
Rennen’s final vehicle in the LEC-X lineup is no design study; it’s the next-generation luxury compact Caelum, born to redefine the segment.

Performance
Multiple engine options are available at release for the Caelum, all of which being twin-turbocharged 2.1 L Boxer 4 engines. The frugal “190” variant comes equipped with a 193 HP engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic sending power to the rear wheels; with the automatic, the Caelum is capable of up to 37 MPG*. A step up comes with the “255” variant, with a more powerful 258 HP engine only available with 4WD and an automatic. The most innovative powertrain is the new Caelum BlueTech; combining a economically tuned engine with torque-vectoring electric motors at the front wheels achieves an EPA estimated 45 MPG combined and a robust 225 HP. The Caelum applies the all-new longitudinal SD (Sports Dynamic) platform, with front wishbone suspension and rear multi-link derived from our experiences in touring car racing. Weight-saving measures such as aluminum body panels and a lightweight chassis provide for an exhilarating driving experience. With roots tied into racing and cutting-edge technology, the Caelum transcends all expectations into a truly dynamic compact luxury car.

Exterior
“Bold elegance.” Those words were used as the mantra to describe the style of the all-new Caelum; available in either a refined 4-door sedan or a sleek 5-door hatchback, there’s no limit to the class that this Rennen exudes. With heavy inspiration from each LEC-X concept, the internationally design is obvious. With the quintessential winged headlights, thin geometric tail lights, and Seraph side blades, the Caelum is easily recognizable everywhere you turn. A long hood, short deck, and lower height provides for classic sports-car esque proportions that visually lengthen, giving the car an aggressive stance. The bodywork is carefully modelled with tight edges but also with softer corners in order to cohesively form a car which appears to be one organic mass of metal. The Caelum is a sexy and svelte vehicle which has styling that effortlessly matches the rest of the Rennen lineup.

Interior
Rennen debuts the latest REV3® infotainment (REV3®) system on the 2019 Caelum. This operating system can be controlled on a standard 9” touch or dial-operated screen or and optional 11.0” screen along with a 11.0" vehicle function screen which controls everything from ambient temperature to ambient lighting. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all models. The vehicle’s bucket seats are supportive and offer multiple points of adjustment, especially with the optional 12-way power operated seat. In terms of quality, much of the classic definitions of luxury remain; the high-quality materials are unparalleled in the class. However, the design is assertively futuristic. The geometric vents, optional dual-screen infotainment system, and sculptural steering wheel keep the pilot in the action of the driving experience. As such, the all-new 2020 Rennen Caelum exceeds all expectations inside and out.
