The quality built into the All-new Renault Austral, which was revealed this March, goes far beyond the choice of materials and the state-of-the-art on-board technology. Each detail was scrutinised to push the envelope further than ever. Olivier, an expert in perceived quality, explains the work he carried out on one of the emblematic interior design features in the first SUV of Renault’s Nouvelle Vague: its sliding hand rest – and what makes sliding it so exciting.
Muscular, sensual design language combined with an elegant, modern interior design: With the Austral, Renault is expanding its model range with a completely newly developed compact SUV. The newcomer is characterized by a muscular, sporty design language in the brand's new "Sensual Tech" design. In the elegant interior, the Austral shines with a high-quality mix of materials, combined with the OpenR info screen, which, in combination with the openR Link multimedia system, enables an intuitive and networked driving experience. On the drive side, efficient petrol engines with hybrid technology are available for the new Austral. Another highlight is the 4CONTROL Advanced all-wheel steering. The market launch will take place in autumn.The new Renault Austral signals pronounced dynamics even when stationary: the combination of generous forms, striking silhouette and technical details such as the high-tech headlights embody the new "Sensual Tech" design of the Renault brand. The typical SUV proportions give the new Austral a powerful appearance: with a height of 1.62 meters and a width of 1.83 meters, the newcomer has a wheelbase of 2.67 meters. The short overhangs of 925 millimeters at the front and 917 millimeters at the rear as well as large wheels measuring up to 20 inches further emphasize the robust and sporty appearance.Characteristics of the new Renault Austral are the underbody protection at the front and rear, striking protectors on the sides of the vehicle as well as powerfully shaped side skirts and a high waistline. Its proportions make it look spacious, robust and sporty, which is reinforced by the flat angle of the rear window. The expansive wheel arches give the vehicle additional stature. The Austral's front end is defined by a chromed horizontal bar running through the large, checkered grille and extending from headlight to headlight. The prominent design element visually widens the front of the vehicle and gives it an elegant touch. The new Renault logo in the middle also underlines the modern character of the vehicle.

The All-New Austral sees the arrival of Renault’s third generation four-wheel steering: 4CONTROL Advanced.CONTROL has been in a class by itself since it was presented and reached the market in 2007. Today, 4CONTROL Advanced remains unrivalled – and unprecedented in the segment’s SUVs. It is back with a number of upgrades providing greater agility, unequalled performance and ever more driving pleasure.With this system, the All-New Austral is equipped with a new four-wheel steering chassis, providing one-of-a-kind handling and stability on all road conditions. On uneven and poor-quality roads, the movement of the wheels filters out the lumps and bumps in the road surface. The benefits are instant: handling is better, and comfort and acoustic performance are optimised, for all-round peace of mind at the wheel.
Experiencing the interior of the All-new Renault Austral is unique thanks to the carefully chosen textures and materials that have been tested at the Renault Technocentre secret laboratories in Guyancourt (greater Paris area). This is where Carla, trained chemist and head of the sensory panel at Renault, works with a team of testers to ensure that materials used on the car interiors are just as they should be. When it comes to covering everything a customer may want, be it a steering wheel and armrests that are pleasant to touch, comfortable seats, or a dashboard with just the right level of foaming, testers employ an unusual measuring device that is as original as it is reliable: humans. From senses to science, meet the person in charge of the unique measurement system
The All-new Renault Austral combines the most advanced 4CONTROL and MULTI-SENSE technology, the culmination of more than ten years of development. The pinnacle of personalization, they boast a unique ability to choose settings according to a driver's preferred driving sensations and emotions. Xavier, a Renault Global Control Chassis expert and musician, explains how the brand’s two iconic technological features have evolved with each new generation, culminating in what is become today. Climb on board and enjoy the tour!
