The Renault Austral has already made a significant impact since its launch in 2022, with over 200,000 units sold and playing a key role in accelerating the Renault brand's move upmarket as part of the C-segment offensive outlined in the Renaulution strategic plan. Now, the New Renault Austral arrives with a contemporary edge and enhanced features that elevate the driving and passenger experience even further.
A More Assertive and Contemporary Design
The New Renault Austral adopts the brand's latest design language, giving it a more assertive and consistent look that aligns with the striking Rafale and the New Espace. The front and rear ends have been completely redesigned, featuring a fresh and modern light signature that adds to its sophisticated presence on the road.
Upgraded Comfort and Smart Technology Onboard
Illustrating Renault's continued focus on the C-segment, the New Austral significantly upgrades the onboard experience. Comfort is paramount, with new, more ergonomic front seats designed to provide better support and relaxation, whether you're on a long journey or navigating city streets. Improved NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance ensures a quieter and more refined cabin environment for all occupants.
Technology takes a leap forward too. New features include an automatic driver recognition system that offers a personalised welcome, automatically loading individual preferences for a seamless start to your journey. The interior ambience mirrors the exterior elegance with upgraded, premium-feel materials and upholstery.
Refined Driving Dynamics and Powertrain Options
The driving experience in the New Renault Austral has been further honed for greater enjoyment and efficiency. New shock absorbers and bigger tyres contribute to enhanced driveability and more incisive handling, providing a connected and confident feel behind the wheel.
Under the bonnet, the highly efficient full hybrid E-Tech 200 hp powertrain delivers an exceptional balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Renault has further optimised this powertrain since launch, resulting in smoother gear changes and acceleration, making for an even more refined driving experience.
Depending on the market, the New Austral range also includes a Mild Hybrid 160 hp powertrain (not available in France) paired with a smooth automatic gearbox, offering another compelling option for those seeking hybrid efficiency.
Versatility and Practicality Still at Its Core
The New Renault Austral remains eminently functional, retaining its versatile and practical features. The folding, reclining rear bench seat is designed to slide over 16 cm, allowing you to easily modulate load capacity as required. This provides impressive flexibility, with space ranging from 527 litres to a generous 1,736 litres with the full hybrid E-Tech 200 hp powertrain.
Available in Multiple Trim Levels
The New Renault Austral is available in three distinct trim levels: Evolution, Techno, and the popular top-spec Esprit Alpine (chosen by 44% of existing Austral customers). Still built at the Palencia plant in Spain, the New Renault Austral is set to be available in several European countries before the summer.
With its enhanced comfort, smart technology, refined driving dynamics, and continued versatility, the New Renault Austral is set to appeal to an even wider audience, offering a compelling blend of style, efficiency, and practicality.
