Renault's inexpensive RAV4 rival is shown online for the first time. Photo

The new Renault Austral crossover for the 2025 model year will compete with the Toyota RAV4 with a modern design. The inexpensive model after modernization was first shown online in a photo.

The restyling was prepared even though the Austral has recently entered the market. But Carscoops has already shown the car with a new design. After the restyling, the crossover looks like the Renault Rafale and Scenic E-Tech models.

Previously, the car was shown in photos only during road tests. It was a test prototype whose appearance was hidden by camouflage and films. But the model's appearance is no longer a secret.

The new Renault Austral has modified exterior lighting with a simple geometric shape, different air intakes and new bumpers. The Renault Austral crossover is still a relatively new model. The car appeared in 2022 as a replacement for the cheap Renault Kadjar.

The new Austral will have gasoline and hybrid powertrains. More information about the updated model will be available soon.
