Chronology
Predecessor Renault Safrane
Successor Renault Latitude

The Renault Vel Satis is an executive car that was produced by the French manufacturer Renault, launched at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show to replace the already discontinued Safrane. It was previously revealed as a concept car in 1998, at the Paris Motor Show. However, the following production model does not have very much in common with it.

The name Vel Satis is a composite of elements of the words Velocity and Satisfaction. A specially prepared Vel Satis was used by the President of France until 2009. The car was Renault's flagship model at the time, and the first Renault to be offered with Adaptive cruise control as supplied by Robert Bosch GmbH.
