Get ready to experience a new era of SUV sophistication and efficiency! Renault Retail Group is thrilled to announce the upcoming arrival of the new Renault Austral in the UK during the second half of this year. Building on the success of the original Austral, this refreshed model boasts a more assertive design, enhanced comfort, cutting-edge technology, and impressive hybrid efficiency.
Based on the latest press release, the new Renault Austral is set to make a significant impact in the competitive C-segment SUV market. Let's dive into what makes this vehicle so compelling:
A Striking New Look:
The first thing you'll notice is the Austal's complete exterior transformation. Adopting Renault's new design language, it now shares a strong family resemblance with the sleek Renault Rafale. Expect a redesigned bonnet, bumper, and grille that exude confidence and a modern edge. The intricate detailing, like the embossed 3D diamonds around the central logo, showcases a commitment to quality.
The new light signature is another standout feature. With distinctive front and rear lights, including the half-diamond daytime running lights, the Austral will be instantly recognizable, day or night. The available Adaptive LED Vision and Matrix LED Vision (on esprit Alpine versions) promise exceptional visibility and driver comfort.
Elevated Interior Comfort and Technology:
Step inside the new Austral, and you'll find a cabin designed for enhanced comfort and a premium feel. New, more ergonomic front seats with improved support and new upholstery, including a recycled fabric option, create a welcoming environment. Improved soundproofing ensures a quieter and more refined ride.
The Austral remains a leader in its class for interior space and modularity. The clever sliding and reclining rear bench seat allows you to adapt the load capacity from a generous 527 litres up to a massive 1,736 litres with the rear seats folded down.
On the technology front, the Austral rivals higher market segments. The OpenR Link system with Google built-in provides seamless access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and a wide range of apps via the stunning twin-screen setup (12.3-inch digital instrument panel and 12-inch multimedia screen). Expect enhanced connectivity, regular updates, and even eco-friendly route planning.
Hybrid Power and Efficiency:
The new Renault Austral is powered by the highly efficient full hybrid E-Tech 200 hp powertrain paired with a responsive clutch less multi-mode automatic gearbox. This combination delivers an exceptional balance of performance and fuel economy, boasting a remarkable 4.7 litres/100 km (WLTP combined cycle) and low CO2 emissions of 106g/km (WLTP pending homologation). Experience smooth acceleration and intelligent energy management for an enjoyable and efficient driving experience.
Packed with Advanced Features:
Built on the CMF-CD platform, the new Austral comes equipped with up to 30 new-generation driving aids (ADAS), prioritizing safety and driver convenience. The innovative My Safety Switch allows you to personalize your preferred settings for five key ADAS with a single button. Features like Active Driver Assist (level 2 autonomous driving), Active Emergency Braking System, and Blind Spot Warning contribute to a confident and secure driving experience.
Three Distinct Trim Levels:
The new Renault Austral will be available in three distinct trim levels: techno, techno esprit Alpine, and iconic esprit Alpine. Each trim offers specific design cues, features, and equipment to cater to different preferences. The esprit Alpine versions, in particular, boast a sportier aesthetic both inside and out.
