The Austral is a fundamental part of Renault’s strategy to return to the top positions in the sales ranking. It involves a frontal attack on one of the most controversial segments, that of the C-SUV.
For the Austral you can choose from two different engines, each with two powers.
The mild hybrid is available in 140 and 160 hp, with a 1.3-liter engine manufactured in collaboration with Daimler. The less powerful version is the only one available with a manual gearbox.
Instead, E-Tech hybrids can choose between 160 or 200 horsepower. These engines are
1.2 liter three-cylinderbut they are linked to a 400 volt electrical system and a 2 kWh battery.
