06 Jan 2022|184 views
The new Renault Austral has entered its final stage of development, with final tests being conducted of the car's new CMF-CD3 platform and its electrified engine options.
The final round of tests will see the Renault Austral undergo final 'Confirmation Runs', in which a fleet of around 100 vehicles have set off to travel two million kilometers.
The new SUV will cross France, Spain, Germany and Romania in order to confirm the results of the previous checks. Nine hundred drivers will cover 600,000km of open roads in real-life conditions, while the remaining 1,400,000km will take place on the track.
The Renault Austral will have a petrol hybrid-only lineup, which will be mostly made up of brand new engine options including a latest-generation E-Tech hybrid, a 1.3-litre TCe unit with a 12V mild-hybrid solution and, for the first time in the Renault range, a 1.2-litre TCe unit, also equipped with 48V mild-hybrid technology.
