Renault Austral: Engine

Athletic, efficient and technological, Renault Austral takes position at the very heart of the C-SUV segment as a statutory and a distinctive vehicle to match the needs of demanding people wishing to monitor their fuel consumption. Renault Austral embeds state-of-the-art technologies (32 advanced driver-assistance systems, 4Control advanced with 4 steering wheels, openR link and its 24’’ of interactive screens), but its real strength is the 200 horsepower E-Tech full hybrid engine. It offers one of the best consumption/performance ratios available today on the market. Renault Austral remains unrivalled in its segment without compromising with the driving pleasure. To demonstrate the efficiency of its motorization, Renault and Publicis Conseil have designed an advertising campaign to support the launch of Austral: Engine. Nowadays car manufacturers talk about comfort, ergonomics, connectivity, boot space... but too rarely of the engine. Yet the engine remains the heart of a car. So, when Renault launches Austral with one of the most efficient hybrid engines in its class - electric driving up to 130kmh (approx. 80mph) and up to 80% electric driving in the city, consumption down to 4.6 L/100 km (approx. 51mpg) -, it had to be the star of the movie.
