Renault Austral - How has the boot space changed over the generations?
As we stand at the dawn of the Renault Austral's first generation, there is no comparison with previous generations just yet. However, the 2022 Austral has already set the bar pretty high when it comes to boot space. It's a confidence-inspiring measure that sets the tone for what could be a long and successful line of trunks in future iterations.
The boot space of the current generation of Austral is 500 l.
The boot space compared to other Renault models
Let's put the Austral's boot into perspective within the Renault lineup, shall we? It offers more cargo room than the vaunted Megane, which stands at 473 liters, or even the Koleos, which has 498 liters. This, despite the rather compact dimensions of the Austral. However, bigger beasts from the Renault stable still reign supreme, like the Scenic (506 liters), Arkana (513 liters), or the granddaddy of them all, the Espace with 693 liters. Nonetheless, the Austral proudly holds its ground amidst these giants.
