Bold Design and Modern Identity

The New Austral reflects Renault’s latest design language through its reworked front and rear ends, muscular lines, and refined details. Sharing visual elements with the Rafale, it ensures a strong family resemblance. The Esprit Alpine trim offered in Türkiye highlights sportiness and innovation, while the Techno version emphasizes practicality with chrome roof bars, Google-integrated infotainment, and advanced safety systems.

Special exterior elements such as Satin Pearl White paint, LED Matrix headlights, and 3D-effect taillights give Austral a distinguished appearance.

Premium Interior with Cutting-edge Technology

Inside, Austral offers a tech-oriented and comfortable cabin. The Google-integrated OpenR Link system combines a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 12-inch multimedia touchscreen for a total digital surface of 774 cm².

The Harman Kardon sound system, tuned with Jean-Michel Jarre’s collaboration, enhances the in-car audio experience. Newly designed ergonomic front seats, enhanced insulation (NVH), and improved suspension contribute to a quieter and smoother ride.

Personalized Experience: Driver Recognition System

A standout feature in its class, the driver recognition system enables a personalized welcome by identifying the user and automatically adjusting preferences including seat position, mirrors, ambient lighting, display settings, and drive modes. This functionality allows multiple drivers to enjoy the vehicle with individual comfort. Unique screen animations and welcome scenarios make every ride feel premium and tailored.

E-Tech Full Hybrid 200 hp: Power Meets Efficiency

At the heart of the New Austral lies the E-Tech Full Hybrid powertrain, combining a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors and a multi-mode automatic transmission. Delivering 200 hp, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds.

With an average fuel consumption of just 4.7 l/100 km and emissions of 107 g/km (WLTP), it offers strong performance with environmental responsibility. The system intelligently manages energy use across driving modes, seamlessly transitioning between all-electric and hybrid operation. A 160 hp mild-hybrid CVT variant is also available in Türkiye.

Driving Dynamics: 4Control Advanced and Multi-Sense Modes

Thanks to the 4Control Advanced four-wheel steering system, the Austral offers best-in-class maneuverability with a turning radius of just 10.1 meters. At higher speeds, the coordinated movement of all wheels enhances handling and stability.

With Multi-Sense driving modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Perso), the vehicle adapts to individual preferences, offering tailored ride dynamics.

Safety First: 28 ADAS Features and Level 2 Autonomy

Equipped with 28 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Emergency Braking, the Austral is engineered for safety.

Level 2 autonomous driving is enabled through Active Driver Assist, combining adaptive cruise control with lane centering.

The Safety Score and Safety Coach systems analyze driving habits and provide feedback for safer driving. Personalized ADAS settings can be instantly activated via the My Safety Switch.

Practicality Meets Comfort

The sliding rear seats (adjustable by 16 cm) allow the boot volume to be tailored to passenger or cargo needs. In the E-Tech Full Hybrid version, the boot ranges from 527 to 1,736 liters, while the mild hybrid offers 555 to 1,761 liters.

Practical features such as an electric tailgate, 60/40 split rear seats, tablet holders, and multiple USB-C ports make the Austral an ideal family SUV.
