In the Renault range, theAustral is rather a good pick which quickly made us forget the Kadjar. In 2024, the Austral region will even benefit from the renewal of 3008 to capture 10th place in the market. It is quite simply the best-selling compact SUV in France! Renault has just removed the 160 hp Mild Hybrid engine, and should complete the offer from 2025 with new power levels. In the meantime, it is therefore the 200 hp full hybrid offer that is essential, with technology that reduces consumption and CO2 emissions. A winning bet for the Austral!

Austral Iconic
With the Iconic finish, for 1000 euros more you will have to forget the Esprit Alpine interior and exterior presentation. However, in addition to the Techno version, the equipment includes the following equipment: 20″ Effie black diamond-cut alloy wheels, 3D 360° vision camera, hands-free motorized tailgate, heated front seats, electric driver's seat with lumbar adjustment and massage function, steering wheel heating.

And here is the fifth finish offered, which combines the comfort equipment of the Iconic version with the Esprit Alpine look, for 1400 euros more.

The offer is therefore very complete in terms of finishes, but there is a clear lack of engines. In 2025, Renault should offer the 1.2 Mild Hybrid in 140 hp for the entry level, and undoubtedly launch the E-TECH 300 4X4 version already offered on the Rafale.
