Renault Austral (2026) | Perché Comprarla... e perché no

The Renault Austral is a crossover that, on paper, has all the features needed to succeed on the market: it's not overly large but spacious, it has only hybrid engines, Google infotainment, and a host of features from a higher category, such as rear-axle steering. It's available as a mild hybrid or, as in this case, a full hybrid: let's explore it together in this Why Buy It article, looking at its pros and cons, how it runs, and its fuel consumption. PRICE The Renault Austral has a list price starting at just over €35,000, which is the price for the 1.3-liter mild-hybrid 160 hp gasoline engine. The 200 hp full hybrid starts at over €38,000. Front-wheel drive is always available, and an automatic transmission is standard on all versions. There are three trim levels, with a €4,500 difference between the lowest and top-of-the-line models. COMPETITORS There are plenty of SUVs under 4.5 meters in length, and almost all of them are hybrids these days. Full hybrids include the Nissan Qashqai, Toyota Corolla Cross, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Honda ZR-V, while among mild hybrids, be careful not to underestimate the Alfa Romeo Tonale. These days, we can't ignore the Chinese offensive: there are the Jaecoo 7, the MG HS, and the BYD Seal U DM-i, which are plug-in hybrids, but they all cost about the same as the Renault. 00:00 | Intro 00:28 | Exterior 01:07 | Interior 02:12 | Quality 03:13 | Infotainment 04:03 | Kids 04:28 | Driving 07:12 | Fuel Consumption 07:29 | Safety 08:28 | Prices 09:05 | Accessories 09:40 | Cons 10:10 | Alternatives 10:43 | Conclusions Motor1.com chooses PegPerego as its partner for child car safety.
