The premiere of a seven-seater SUV derived from the Renault Austral, which would also replace the current Espace, is getting closer and closer. Now it looks more detailed.
We already know the Renault Austral, a new compact SUV from the French brand that also officially debuted at the last Paris Motor Show. organized with hybrid systems in all their versionsex a strategic model for the brand in the European market, as it will allow it to catch up in the most profitable segment of the market.

It is also clear that the strategy will be comprehensive and will somehow replicate what other manufacturers like Peugeot have done by having two SUVs in that market segment, with different sizes. The lion mark has the 3008 and 5008 and Renault will have the Austral e a derivative of this with seven seats.
A few weeks ago we met first data and spy images. At that time it became known that the vehicle could indirectly replace the veteran minivan Espace, now at the top of the brand’s range in Europe. But in other media they call it that “Grand Austral” or “Southern Space”.

Now, we can see a lot more details in these new spy photos. Forks of interest in Colombiabecause it is a vehicle that not only could have a lot of space in our market, but could come to a certain point … obviously, adapted to our conditions.
It will be the new 7-seater Renault Grand Austral
Basically, we will have an elongated version of the Austral. From the front to stud “B” appears to be identical, with the same LED light clusters, bumper, hood, fenders and front doors. From there backwards if it looks different, with longer stepa longer rear overhang e a more upright tailgiving it a more “pick-up truck” look.
This is to be expected its interior is also very similarkeeping the configuration of double digital display for the main information box and the media center. The big difference will be in the third row of seatswhich will have two additional seats that can be folded to expand the cargo space.
It is also very likely that it will keep the little brother’s mechanical offering. That means, a range of engines with hybrid systems in various scalesranging from Delicate hybrid of 12V, passes through the Delicate hybrid of 48V and reaches the Self-rechargeable hybrid E-Tech with 200 HP of power. Always front-wheel drive.
