In terms of appearance, the new car will adopt the latest family design, which is very similar to the Megane E-Tech Electric, with a stylish shape that incorporates retro elements, and the low roof line has a stronger sense of sport.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts the same design as the Megane E-Tech, using a digital cockpit composed of a full LCD instrument and a large vertical central control screen. In addition to the screen, we can also see that the new car has a sporty red-and-black contrast design, and offers a square steering wheel similar to a car, hidden air conditioning outlets, mood lights, and a sub-instrument panel with a cutout design.
The texture on the dashboard is derived from a Japanese lacquerware technique that accentuates the natural texture by coating several layers of metallic paint on the wood with a single cloth, and the interior ambience strip extends to the door panels, enhancing the overall visual appeal. The front and rear door panels are made of soft materials that share the same texture and touch as the dashboard, creating a texture through the combination of fabric and leather.
In terms of power, Renault Austral is expected to increase the lineup of electrified models, and is expected to provide plug-in hybrid models with an all-electric range of about 48 kilometers, and will also launch a model equipped with a 1.3T engine.
