New Renault Austral: Freshly Redesigned, Dynamic and Pure Power

A fresh new arrival this Spring to the Renault Line-up

Published: 16 April 2025

Say hello to the New Renault Austral, a stylish, high-tech hybrid SUV that’s been reimagined for the modern driver. Building on its strong foundation, the new Renault Austral captivates with a striking design that echoes the visual elegance of the flagship Renault Rafale. Its fully restyled front and rear boast a bold new lighting signature and refined sculpting, giving the Austral an athletic stance that promises dynamic performance on the road.

Beneath the hood lies the advanced E-Tech full hybrid powertrain, which delivers an impressive 200 horsepower and pairs seamlessly with a smooth, multi-mode clutch less automatic gearbox. This innovative combination not only enhances driving enjoyment but also achieves remarkable fuel efficiency—returning up to 4.7 litre per 100 kilometres and emitting just 106 grams of CO₂ per kilometre. Whether you’re manoeuvring through the hustle of the school run or embarking on a weekend adventure, the Austral masterfully balances spirited performance with eco-friendly operation.

Step inside, and you are welcomed by a sophisticated, high-comfort cabin designed for both relaxation and practicality. Features include enhanced seating, effective acoustic insulation for a quiet ride, and a versatile modular interior with a sliding, reclining rear bench that unlocks an impressive 1,736 litres of boot space. This thoughtful design transforms the Austral into a genuinely flexible family SUV, ready to accommodate all your needs.

For tech enthusiasts, the Austral offers the OpenR Link multimedia system, complete with built-in Google services, ensuring a seamless digital experience on the go. Furthermore, the vehicle is equipped with up to 30 cutting-edge driving aids, including Active Driver Assist and contextual adaptive cruise control, elevating every day commuting to an entirely new level of safety and convenience.

Available in three stylish trim levels—Techno, Techno Esprit Alpine, and Iconic Esprit Alpine—the new Austral is set to make its grand debut in the UK later this year.

If you're on the lookout for a vehicle that artfully blends cutting-edge hybrid efficiency, bold design, and real-world practicality, the new Renault Austral is poised to impress. Register your interest today at Wilsons Renault and be among the first to experience this remarkable SUV.
