2023 RENAULT AUSTRAL TCNO ESPRT ALPNE HEV A

The Austral is a medium-sized SUV with three trim levels but one power system, this being a 1.2-litre petrol hybrid. Although its not a plug-in hybrid (or PHEV in the jargon) the small engine packs a punch, and you get a surprisingly good amount of electric range. Great looking, with Google tech and some nifty storage, it is almost the perfect package, and a huge improvement on the outgoing Kadjar. All versions come with a head-up display, which is amazing. Lane keeping assistance is also standard, which some people like but we find intensely annoying on every single car out there on the basis its constantly correcting your path even when youre perfectly on track. Every owner also gets traffic-sign recognition and emergency braking. Adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera that includes a birds-eye view of the car and its surroundings, a blind-spot warning system and another that alerts you to traffic as youre reversing onto a road, plus automatic hands-free parking, are all available.
