Since Dongfeng Renault announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market, information about Renault has been basically invisible. However, in recent times, a large wave of "actions" from Renault has successfully sent itself to the hot search of major domestic auto media circles.
Following the "joint marriage" with Geely Automobile and the joint cooperation in car manufacturing, Renault has also released a series of product plans, which will launch a new 7-seater SUV model in addition to the Renault Austral model previously reported by the media.
Renault's new 7-seater SUV has not yet been officially named, and it has appeared under the 7 seater code name for the time being.

Combined with the current information, it is expected that the Renault 7 seate will follow the latest design elements of the Renault family, which is bluntly said to have a high degree of similarity with the previously unveiled Megane E-Tech Electric and Renault Austral models.

In addition, as a 7-seater SUV model, the C/D column of the Renault 7 seate will be directer and taller, the waist line will be tougher, and it will have a longer body and wheelbase than the Renault Austral, which is also an SUV model.
The interior forecast will be consistent with Renault Austral, and it can be known from the interior trailer released by Renault Austral that the new car will be equipped with three screens and one large screen and other high-tech visual elements.
In addition, it is also equipped with Google Automotive Services system, built-in google maps and other applications, and supports android auto and Apple CarPlay and other functions.
In terms of power, it will also be similar to the Renault Austral to a large extent, and will increase the lineup of electrified models, providing plug-in hybrid models, and the pure electric range may reach about 48 kilometers.
In addition, it is not excluded that the fuel-powered +48V light mix system models will be launched in the future.
Although the deadline for information on Renault's 7-seater SUV model is still quite limited, it has also been made clear that it will be officially unveiled in 2023, and it may be expected during this time.
As for whether the model will be introduced to the domestic market for sale in the later stage? In the professor's view, there is a high probability.
After all, it is not difficult to see that the cooperation between it and Geely will take this as an opportunity to return to the domestic passenger car market. I just don't know whether the model will be sold in China in the future, or as always, with imported attributes.
Stay tuned for follow-up information.
