Renault Austral overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the Austral features sculpted body lines, a prominent front bumper, and a detailed 3D grille. The lighting setup includes distinctive daytime running lights and advanced Matrix Vision headlights for improved visibility. At the rear, the taillights mimic a tangram geometric puzzle, creating a unique visual pattern in the dark. Higher trims like Techno offer a contrasting black roof, and updated paint choices include ultramarine blue and pearl white. Protective gloss molding wraps around the lower body, emphasizing its SUV stance while guarding against daily wear.
Interior
Inside, the Austral offers a contemporary cabin layout designed for ergonomics and comfort. Seating options include upgraded front seats with supportive bolsters. In the Evolution and Techno trims, the upholstery uses Egee fabric, which is derived almost entirely from recycled materials. The sporty Esprit Alpine trim replaces this with Alcantara, blue stitching, carbon-like accents, and aluminum pedals. Renault has also enhanced the vehicle's acoustic comfort by integrating laminated glass, improved door seals, and aerodynamically optimized side mirrors to minimize wind and road noise.
Performance
Buyers can choose between two electrified petrol drivetrains. The entry-level option is a 1.3-liter mild-hybrid (MHEV) producing 160 horsepower, mated to a CVT Xtronic automatic transmission. For greater efficiency, the E-Tech full hybrid combines a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine with two electric motors to generate a combined 200 horsepower. This hybrid utilizes a clutchless multimode gearbox, allowing it to transition smoothly between electric, hybrid, and regenerative modes, achieving an average fuel consumption of 4.7 liters per 100 km.
Practicality
With a length of 4,533 mm and a wheelbase of 2,667 mm, the Austral offers a five-seat configuration with practical dimensions. The trunk provides a cargo capacity of 527 liters, which is suitable for family road trips and grocery runs. Ground clearance is rated at 180 mm, helping the vehicle navigate uneven road surfaces and light obstacles. The fuel tank holds 55 liters, which translates to a long driving range, especially when paired with the highly efficient E-Tech hybrid powertrain.
Safety and tech
The dashboard features the OpenR Link infotainment system powered by Google services, integrating Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play. The digital layout includes a 12-inch instrument display, a central touchscreen up to 12.3 inches, and a 9.3-inch head-up display. Drivers can customize their settings using the Multi-Sense system, which changes driving dynamics through Eco, Comfort, Sport, and MySense modes. The 4Control Advanced system provides four-wheel steering, reducing the turning circle in tight city spaces.
Buyer notes
When selecting a Renault Austral, buyers should compare the efficiency of the full-hybrid E-Tech with the value of the mild-hybrid option. Equipment levels vary, with Techno and Esprit Alpine packages adding premium aesthetic touches, larger displays, and advanced safety aids. The Esprit Alpine is particularly suited for those wanting a sportier cabin feel, while the Evolution and Techno trims focus on sustainable interior materials. Exact trim availability and specific equipment packages may vary depending on the local market.
