There have been many months of expectation with this model. It is a new SUV in the Renault range, the Austral. It is an SUV with a very athletic design and great perceived quality, which will be manufactured at the manufacturer’s plant located in Palencia . In fact, to manufacture this vehicle, the lines have been reinforced at all stages of its production. We speak from the selection of materials to the control of functionalities, through the assembly of parts and paint booths.
The Austral, whose orders will open in the middle of this 2022 (although it will not be seen on the streets until autumn), if it catches your attention at first, it is because of its original name, which evokes the southern continent, Oceania. Its meaning? Perhaps because this SUV is intended for those drivers looking for new adventures, whether in the city or on unpaved terrain. Sylvia Dos Santos, responsible for the Names Strategy of the Global Marketing Department of the Renault brand, pointed out during the reveal of the name that Austral “evokes the colors and warmth of the southern hemisphere. It is a name that invites to travel and perfectly suitable for an SUV. Its phonetics are harmonious, balanced and easy to pronounce for everyone, a key point in its international deployment”. So we’ve come pretty close.
Another special detail is that it can be chosen with an unprecedented high-end version, the Espirit Alpine version. It is characterized by a more forceful design, its badges, a Satin Slate Gray body color that stands out against the two-tone glossy black roof that even reaches the window area and 20-inch ‘Daytona’ aluminum wheels on the outside. . And inside, the Espirit Alpine version has Alcantara upholstery with blue stitching, the Alpine logo embroidered on the headrests, as well as Alpine Blue stitching on the console and steering wheel, among many other higher-quality details. Perhaps not to forget the heated seats and the lumbar massage function , what stressful days abound!
