2022 Renault Austral

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. The designers tried to create a truly modern, elegant and luxurious car, with the characteristics of the existing model, which will replace the current Kadjar.

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.

With the Austral model, Renault is entering a new era of car design. At the front, the front grille and lights with micro-fiber technology, taken from the Megane E-TECH Electric model, attract the most attention. The lines that extend above the fender arches give a new approach to structural design and enable the construction of a strong and sharp profile, which is a reflection of the new design expression.

“Renault Austral combines strong stylistic elements that give it a dynamic and elegant design. The quality is easy to see at first glance. We have reduced the body gaps, we have adjusted the proportions so as to develop an immediate sense of quality, ”said Renault Design Director, Gilles Vidal.

The arrival of Renault Austral is scheduled for spring this year.

Renault 5 Prototype

After half a century, the time has come for Renault to introduce a new generation of Renault 5, called the Renault 5 Prototype. The presentation took place at the Munich Motor Show when it was said that the Prototype would go into production in 2024.

It all started back in 1972 when Renault introduced the first Renault 5 model. The task of the engineers was to develop a car that would cover the space created between the 4 and the Citroen 2CV. The car was the best-selling model in France until 1980 when Renault expanded its offering in this class.

Paying tribute to the legendary “5”, Renault has shown a willingness to bring electric cars closer to a wide range of European customers. This is exactly the role of the compact city car Renault 5 Prototype.

“I know from experience that reinventing a cult products lights a fire under the whole brand. This is a cult vehicle at a price many can afford. And this is only the beginning for the whole Renault brand, ”said Renault CEO Luca de Meo.

The original design has been retained, inspired by the world of electronics and sports. It will be equipped with a 40 kWh battery developed by Envision AESC in Douai, which should use the same charging system as the Mégane. The range of the car is currently unknown.

The fully electric car with a yellow body attracts attention at first sight. It is built on the CMF-BEV platform for small electric cars, making the Renault 5 a car at an affordable price. That would mean the Renault 5 Prototype would cost between $ 23,500 and $ 29,500.
