The curtain is lifted on the striking silhouette of the new Renault Austral.

Renault design Director Gilles Vidal sheds light on the design of Renault's new SUV.

Renault Design Director Gilles Vidal describes the brand's newest C-Segment SUV model, the new Renault Austral, as "Elegant and Technological".
 

ATTRACTIVE AND QUALITY DESIGN

Designers focused on more muscular and pronounced shoulder lines, using key features such as body proportions, size proportions, overhangs, wheel size, which attract many users to SUV models. The resulting vehicle has a strong and unique character, but still remains a part of the SUV world. With its sharp, athletic and modern design, the new Renault Austral draws attention with its body proportions and details that give a feeling of power and solidity as well as agile.

The design of Renault vehicles is entering a new era. The lines running over the fenders lend a strong yet elegant line to the car's profile. The strong, dynamic lines of the Austral reflect Renault's new design language.

The new Renault Austral is distinctive and powerful, with a clear and distinct curve running along the lower part of the body. Angled lines flowing towards the front of the vehicle give the silhouette a dynamic character.

A MODERN AND TECHNOLOGICAL SUV

Front and rear lighting units stand out as some of the technological features in the new Austral. The two large C-shaped taillights seamlessly integrate with the car's logo. The front design is similar to the eye-catching headlights and front grille. Micro-optical technology, first used in Renault Mégane E-TECH Electric, is produced from plexiglass. It features lines and patterns carved directly into the plexiglass surface. When illuminated by LED lights, the hollow lines shine crystal clear to create a vibrant and eye-catching look. This technological skill and desire for excellence forms the basis of the design of the new Renault Austral.
