The evolution of the automobile sector has caught Renault with a changed foot. The gala brand has gone from being at the forefront with its minivans to "playing" with each of the SUVs that it has put up for sale. We have seen this with products such as the Kadjar or Koleos, two models that came to the market wanting to succeed and had to leave it unnoticed. However, the Captur and Arkana are the example that their SUVs do like…
And to replicate the success they have taken the same recipe and have developed the Renault Austral. In case you don't know, it is the technical clone of the last Nissan Qashqai. However, to differentiate himself from his Japanese brother, he has chosen to target the premium niche. Hence, its range will revolve around three "different" models. One of the ones that will give the most to talk about is the Renault Grand Austral Do you know what his mission will be within the range? Well, you'll see...
Along with the new Renault Grand Austral there will also be a coupé version…
As you well know, the Renault Kadjar went unnoticed through the market and one of the reasons for this, according to rumours, is that did not have a 7-seater version. For its part, the Renault Koleos did have this option but its prices were not as popular as the customer expected. Therefore, with a Scenic in the doldrums that was not able to seduce customers and two SUVs that could not compete with their rivals, the debacle was served.
Considering such a situation, Renault wants to solve this problem with a Grand Austral. In this way they will target families looking for more space and those for whom the "normal" Austral falls short. So they do not have to go up in the range until they reach the future Koleos which, if all goes well, should hit the market shortly. And with these wickers some graphic creators, such as TopElectricSUV, have begun to imagine what their future design will be like...
According to spy photos, the 7-seater Grand Austral will have a length of 4,7 meters so it would rival the Skoda Kodiaq, Peugeot 5008, Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and the Seat Tarraco. As for its design, the camouflage layer did not allow its style to be noticed, but everything indicates that it will have a muscular and higher waist line with which to hide the growth of its body. There will also be a most generous side escrow sale.
In this way they will give extra light for passengers in the third row of seats. Finally, it is appreciated that the roof line will be a little lower to improve aerodynamics. In addition, it will have roof bars, a shark fin antenna or a hatch to access the most generous trunk. In any case, we still have to wait a little longer for his debut, which should take place in the coming months...
We will talk about the Austral Coupé…
