For the first time, a Renault vehicle is released in an Esprit Alpine-exclusive trim level. Alpine's sporty DNA inspires the design, and the edition has an exclusive Satin Shale Gray color. This new generation of body paint features a matte finish that is simple to maintain. The athletic impression is emphasized with 20-inch diamond-cut black Daytona alloy wheels with the Alpine logo, black roof rails, and other black ornamental elements. The Esprit Alpine logo is located on the side fenders. Inside, the Esprit Alpine features several unusual parts: blue seams; unique Alcantara upholstery with carbon fiber twill fabric; Nappa leather steering wheel with blue, white, and red Alcantara inserts and seams; and aluminum pedals and door sills with the Alpine symbol.

The new Renault Austral is based on the third generation CMF-CD platform. It provides a variety of electric powertrains with the lowest emissions and fuel economy in their class. In addition, Renault introduces a new series of E-TECH full hybrid engines and a 1.3 TCe mild-hybrid 12V and a 1.2 TCe mild-hybrid 48V engine. The engines reduce emissions while delivering maximum power, starting at 105 g CO2 / km (for the E-TECH engine on the WLTP cycle) and delivering up to 200 hp.
