After introducing the Mégane Conquest and the new Mégane E-TECH Electric, the French carmaker decided to expand its offering with a new family-friendly model, the Renault Austral. It is a 4.51 m long SUV that can accommodate up to 5 passengers.

The name Austral is derived from the Latin word australis. It combines the liveliness and warmth of the southern hemisphere and invites exploration, making it perfect for an SUV, said Sylvia Dos Santos, head of modeling strategy at Renault’s global marketing department.

Austral is part of a new range of compact Renault SUV models that combine innovative connected technology and deliver eco-driving pleasure. The perfect balance of voices makes it easy to pronounce and gives it a truly international touch.

Austral will replace Kadjar in Renault’s offer and will be introduced to a wider audience in the spring of 2022.
