The Renault Austral is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured and marketed by Renault. It was unveiled in March 2022 as a successor to the Kadjar, and built on the third-generation CMF-CD platform.[1][2][3] It was publicly exhibited for the first time at the 2022 Paris Motor Show.[3][4] Production began in July 2022 in Spain at the Palencia plant.[5]
Its derivatives include the sixth-generation Renault Espace, a long-wheelbase family-oriented version of the Renault Austral with three-row seating, and the Renault Rafale, a coupé SUV.[6] The three vehicles are sharing 75 percent of their parts.[7]
