The development process of the new Renault Austral has not finished. Renault is carrying out in Spanish territory some very important tests with its long-awaited SUV. A model that will take the place of the Kadjar. We take advantage of the sighting of a totally exposed Austral to analyze the stage of development of a model that has already been presented.
Everything is ready to experience the commercial launch of the new renault austral in Spain. Moreover, in these last two months, between April and May, the first 25 units of the long-awaited Renault SUV have been registered in our territory. A model that, let us remember, is called to occupy the position of the Kadjar once his departure from the market through the back door materializes.
Renault will soon open the configurator of the new Austral. It will be the step prior to the starting signal for official marketing. However, despite being in this situation, we can say that the development process of the French compact SUV has not finished. And proof of this are these new spy photos that we have obtained.
The development of the new Renault Austral ends in Spain
The diamond firm is currently carrying out tests that are extremely important and strictly necessary to conclude the development process of the Austral. Some tests that are being carried out. The test specimen spotted by our spy photographers is completely exposed and free of camouflage.
Renault is focusing its resources on doing as many quality tests as possible, aerodynamic noise, driving mode adjustments and, likewise, tests related to consumption and emissions. Units of the new Austral with a trailer have also been seen in broad daylight to carry out the equally important towing tests.
Another detail to highlight about this sighting of the Austral is that we are facing the hybrid self-charging variant (HEV). In addition to gasoline engines with light hybrid technology (MHEV), the new Austral will bet on the E-Tech Hybrid system for the most powerful engines. By the way, there will be no diesel engines.
Renault Austral, a car “Made in Spain”
Last but not least, it should be remembered that the serial production process of the new Austral will also be carried out at the facilities that the Renault Group has in Palencia. In this factory the aforementioned Kadjar has been manufactured.
