Renault Austral is the replacement for the Renault Kadjar. The success of Renault's compact crossover was so overwhelming that they decided to can it.
Launched in 2015, the Kadjar was a logical move to reap fruits from the alliance with Nissan, and it’s popular and well-liked Qashqai. But while the Qashqai continued to sell well, the Kadjar in a good year in Europe recorded sold maybe half of what the Japanese model did.
Also the press car I got squeaked and rattled just from looking at it. Renault tried to explain it was a pre-production model, but I recall all press Renaults around that time shouldn’t have left the factory.
Thankfully a few years later Renault significantly improved quality, with well-known models like the Clio and Megane benefiting, and lesser-known models like the Kadjar being replaced by the new Austral.
