In terms of its design, the Austral features Renault’s signature front grille with a large diamond logo in the centre. It has C-shaped LED headlights and similarly shaped taillights with a light bar.

Inside, the Austral gets a dual-screen setup featuring a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a vertically oriented 12-inch touchscreen in the centre. The SUV is equipped with several features, including a 360-degree camera and ADAS.
