- Renault Austral has the newest generation of E-Tech full hybrid system. It is equipped with a new 1.2 litre 96 kW 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with 205 Nm of torque. It is paired with an electric motor boasting more power and more torque (50 kW and 205 Nm), a greater-capacity lithium-ion battery (2 kWh / 400 V), and a gearbox combining two speeds in electric mode and four for the combustion engine. With 15 combinations, the gearbox has enhanced torque capacity (up to 410 Nm against 350 Nm for the first generation), power, output.
Tested Renault Austral E-Tech Hybrid 200 has: 1.2 l turbo petrol engine and set of two electric motors. System power: 146 kW (199 HP), with front wheel drive (FWD). WLTP homologation figures: 4.6 l/100 km (combined) [51.1 mpg US | 61.4 mpg UK).
I checked Renault Austral E-Tech Hybrid 2023 on a trip with city, highway driving, and on country roads (sub-urban), also in a some traffic jam. Finally I achieved on ~86.4 km (~54 mi) distance such fuel consumption (economy): 4.6 l/100 km (51.1 mpg US / 61.4 mpg UK). See, how it works!
Also: I checked how Renault Austral drives in semi-autonomous mode. The Active Driver Assist adds contextual information to Renault’s well-known Motorway and Traffic Companion to widen its scope beyond use solely in fast lanes. The driver can therefore manage all sorts of road events they may encounter to the best of their ability. A level 2 of vehicle autonomy, it combines Adaptive Cruise Control with ‘Stop & Go’, Lane Centering, as well as GPS data and a map so the vehicle can alter its route.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) mixes the front camera's recognition of speed signs with data from the navigation system to choose the safest possible speed limit at any given time. The All-New Austral then automatically adapts to the detected speed while maintaining a minimum safe distance behind the vehicle ahead.
Should traffic come to a full halt, the ‘Stop & Go’ function will set the car in motion after a 30-second wait (instead of the previous 3 seconds).
The Active Driver Assist uses geo-localisation data and a specific map that integrates roundabouts and sharp turns. In addition to displaying such events on the dashboard, Renault Austral can also automatically decelerate when approaching a roundabout and then accelerate back up to the maximum speed once having passed through. All this without the driver having to do a thing.
The Lane Centering (LC) actively moves the steering wheel and can now even run when either of the two lateral road markings is gone (e.g., on the edge of a country road). - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Your videos and content are the gold standard of consumption testing. Keep up the good work
710 km range at start, 810 km range at finish. This is how real eco-driving works xD
There's no mistery and it has no magic.
It's very easy to understand.
The fuel consumption between where the test started (Granja de San Ildefonso, altitude 1193 m) and where the test ended (Barajas Airport , altitude is around 610 m ) is much lower than the fuel consumption from the previous period, perhaps also between the same places but with the inverted order.
The drop in altitude was around 600 m in around 90 km of covered distance.
Since there was a 600 m drop in altitude between start and finish, that I believe the author and driver wasn't aware, everything was in favor of having a very low fuel consumption.
I believe if the start and finish had been at the same place, the fuel consumption would have been 50% higher, around 7 L/100 km.
Not much of a difference to the 140hp or the 160 hp petrol engines…i would expect more than 900 km…
Thanks for tests. You enlighten our minds with the work you do.
What happens if you drive from 130-150kmh on highway?
Very good test given you have really everything: a mountain pass, a normal road way down, an up and down motorway and a bit of city (where this car should do its best). Probably best drive plan around Madrid although I would have liked more inside the city before going to the A2 (maybe M607 to Castellana to Atocha and then back to A2?). Very interesting as im doubting between this car and a 5008 hybrid...
Honda Civic Hybryd maybe for review ???
still confused, Nissan Xtrail E power or this new Renault Australe? I think Nissan E power got worse economy, but POWER :D
Electric range?
How would you compare the drive comfort against the Nissan Qashqai e-POWER? Is fuel consumption a little worse? Finally, which semi-autonomous self driving you liked the most between the two? Thank you very much in advance: super useful videos!
I did not test them on exactly the same route so I cannot make a direct compare unfortunately :( Semi-autonomous driving: it seems like Renault makes it better.
@@1001cars regarding drive comfort which one did you like the most? Silence, smooth driving, … thank you in advance.
Again: I tested them on different routes, I cannot compare 1:1, I think Nissan is a little bit quieter and because of the type of hybrid system it gives smoother driving feeling.
Nice! will you also test out the Honda HRV HEV?
I will try to borrow also this car.
I am not sure, should we consider this a good consumption value? Wondering what is the real consumption for that version where wheels are fully driven by electric engines, and petrol engine just produce electricity?
Nissan e-power has system like you asking
Looks good but If there were some passegnagers in the back and adult in front passenger and some luggage im sure you will loose about 15-20% of that efficiency
Similar to every other car? But, inside the car was two people - around 250 kg - and full trunk of luggage, and still I achieve such result.
@@1001cars impressive. I am keen to see how the 7 seater jogger 2023 etech hybrid will perform. I am looking to replace an old 7 seater Hyundai with an economical 7 seater mainly urban driving
hello, lane tracking system starts to work over how many km speed, I would be glad if you reply?
It is stop&Go system, so if you turn the ACC on, lane keeping assist works at every speed. But other thing is at what speed it will detect lanes when you do not have any car in front of you. I have to check it. But you have to differentiate lane assist and lane keeping assist (the second one works with ACC active).

thank you, I had one more question, why did the corner turn at 1:23
?
@@hyena9406 I do not understand your question :(
@@1001cars Why didn't the lane tracking system turn the corner at 1:23

Tempomat dostosowuje się do znaków z tolerancją tylko jeśli ograniczenie wynosi 60 i więcej? :)
Wygląda na to, że tak :)
@@1001cars dziwnie to trochę wymyślili, w BMW jest opcja ustawienia innej tolerancji przy ograniczeniu powyżej 60, no ale poniżej da się też ustawić :). A jak ogólnie oceniasz działanie systemu utrzymania na środku pasa? Na filmie wydaje się dawać radę :)
Moim zdaniem działa całkiem dobrze i pozwala na całkiem spore skręcenie kierownicy (wiele zakrętów było całkiem ostrych), niemniej ze dwa razy się zgubił w sytuacjach, w których nie powinien. Generalnie jednak czułem się bardzo pewnie pozwalając by system prowadził auto
The 1.3 litter engine both the 140 and 160 ps they give a range of 750 to 800km…whats the point of the hybrid??..i did the same trip of 700 km with the captur 130 and the arkana 140 Automatic…easy 750 km range with speeds up to 160.
If we compare the Austral to the E power Qashqai i think the nissan has a better range and is traveling quitter.
captur is a lot smaller and lighter
It looks kind of bad, it reached 10l/100km in ECO ?!? thirsty as hell...the car does not have enough power.
No, it reached 4.6 l/100 km on whole distance.
Did you realize that it was on a small portion of the all trip ? And this particular portion was a mountain road ?
@@Dwarf78L Every single car's consumption will go up significantly on hilly roads. Depending on the steepness, I have seen some cars consumption go all the way to 30L/100km during the climbing sessions (even in this video the car touched 20L/100km during a somewhat steep climb)...Show me a video of a car (as big) that goes up the mountain while averaging below 6L/100km during the climb. Even EVs electric consumption dramatically increase when climbing. It's just logic/science. You're going against gravity, you need more power to push you forward. More power = more consumption. I mean, this is the case on an electric bike or even on a normal bike (more body energy consumption when climbing). So, I don't really see why you're saying that "it's thirsty as hell" because of this. Or maybe you missed it...But did you see that there was a significant portion of the video were the car was running in EV mode only and not using any fuel? For example, between 4:00-7:00 the car didn't use the ICE engine, which is why the consumption dropped by quite a bit during this period.
The average for this whole trip was 4.6L/100km which is still impressive.
This channel does an excellent job at showing real-world usage, I don't get why there's always people just commenting nonsense without actually watching and understanding what is going on in the video.
@@m.r.2718 ??? I think you misquote the right guy :). My commentary was a response to smasher19831983, saying that the particular consumption of 10L/100km was hit on a very small portion of the all trip, and especially a climbing portion of this trip, which is, as you well described in your comment, perfectly normal.
