Renault Austral - New compact SUV with hybrid technology and sensual tech design

Muscular, sensual design language combined with an elegant, modern interior design: With the Austral, Renault is expanding its model range with a completely newly developed compact SUV. The newcomer features a muscular, sporty design language in the brand's new "Sensual Tech" design. In the elegant interior, the Austral shines with a high-quality mix of materials, combined with the openR info screen, which, in conjunction with the openR Link multimedia system, enables an intuitive and connected driving experience. On the powertrain side, efficient gasoline engines with hybrid technology are available for the new Austral. Another highlight is the 4CONTROL Advanced all-wheel steering system. The market launch will take place in the fall. Even when stationary, the new Renault Austral signals pronounced dynamism: the combination of generous shapes, striking silhouette and technical details such as the high-tech headlights embody the new "Sensual Tech" design of the Renault brand. The typical SUV proportions give the new Austral a powerful appearance: with a height of 1.62 meters and a width of 1.83 meters, the newcomer offers a wheelbase of 2.67 meters. The tight overhangs of 925 millimeters at the front and 917 at the rear, as well as large wheels with up to 20 inches, further emphasize the robust and sporty appearance. Hallmarks of the new Renault Austral are the underride protection at the front and rear, striking protectors on the vehicle flanks as well as powerfully shaped side sills and a high beltline. Its proportions make it look spacious, robust and sporty, which is further enhanced by the shallow angle of the rear window. The sweeping wheel arches add stature to the vehicle. The front of the Austral is characterized by a chrome-plated horizontal bar that runs through the large, checkerboard-textured grille and extends from headlight to headlight. The prominent design element visually widens the front of the vehicle and adds an elegant touch. The new Renault logo in the center also emphasizes the vehicle's modern character.
