I have this car as well and I'm loving this piece of beautiful engineering. My fuel consumption is really nice with this car. When you get to know this car, you can lower your fuel consumption by a lot. I'm now down to 4,9 liter per 100 kilometers. With a full fuel tank I can drive for a month
I have one question: do you ever notice that when cruising around 50km/h the engine revs up for a few seconds? Instant consumptions goes to 18-20 then comes back down. Is that normal?
@@voicheci007 Yeah, I have that too. What I do is accelerate to about 55 km/h so that it changes gear and then the consumption gets lower again. I then decrease speed to around 52km/h. This helps out a lot
@@TOPCyber that's interesting, I thought this gearbox doesnt have traditional gears. So basically when it revs up like that, we are sort of "in between" two gears, I guess
@@voicheci007 it has automatic gear shifting in the engine itself. But when it revs up and you hit 50 km/h it is almost in the transition to the next gear. So you have a very large fuel consumption at that time. Pull up a little bit faster to about 55 km/h and you will feel it shift to a higher gear and revs are going down. Then you can lower your speed to about 52 km/h. When you go lower to about 50 km/h you will go back to a lower gear and revs will increase again. You need to have a good feel what the engine does. But when you have the feel, you will see fuel consumption going down
@@matyi63 , the sound of the turn signal should be annoying, because it should get your attention. Same goes for alarm, claxon, unfasten seatbelt warning sound etc. ))
@@mrbasfed1948 I don't really get why it needs your attention so badly, unlike the other examples you gave. You see it on the dashboard. On Bmw's for example it's a nice clicking sound, not very loud, but it still manages to get your attention. To be honest it's not dangerous not to have your entire attention dedicated to your turn signals as long as you're consciously aware they are on. Annoying turn signals could even trick you into not using them unconsciously while driving (like when you don't use your wipers when they became used and make a sound)
Thank you for the nice ride. How would you compare the cabin noise with the Qashqai e-POWER? Did you hear a difference or more or like the same? Thank you in advance.
I heard that a new Renault car similar to this vehicle will be released in Korea soon. I think driving assistance devices will be developed similarly. Will there be an automatic lane change function in Austral?
@@coxmanbgg Hi, I'm in Scotland. Had test drive in Iconic today, truly amazing car, delivery end Feb beginning March. Update. Changed dealer, they did not follow up on any enquiry I had, so I won't be testing out their service levels or anything else. Another dealer, who does follow up on enquiries, delivering in 6 days.

This is consumption in the city? can't wait for my Austral-E

Génial cette balade avec ce chouette Renault Austral Merci Dan
Merci ami 👍🙏
What's wrong with french car manufacturers? Peugeot 408, Renault Austral - just brilliant looking cars
😁👍
I don’t know about reliability or ergonomics, but the design is very cool. I do find the sound the turn signals make annoying tho

Enjoy your reviews and your English is very good. My sister lives over there so I drive over from time to time.

Thanks for feedback 👍🙏 i think are quite similar … hard to tell
i honestly thing renault upped their build quality ... looks pretty well made
Yes 👍
Tolles Auto
Ja 👍
Ahhhhh the refresh rate on the screen making that blurry thing is driving me insane 🫣
Yes Max i know 😪i try everything
Favolosa 💪❤️❤️🔝
Your take offs at traffic lights seems like a launch. I thought easy does it with hybrids. Would be interesting the fuel consumption in that regard.
Yea i will test this to 👍
What is the noise like when the generator is Charging the batteries. I have the etech arkanna and can get very loud?
Not so loud … not sure
Thamk you

how compare against Xtrail E Power? :)
Depend what you are looking for Darius
Did you have the chance to try the harman kardon sound?
Yes it is very good 👍
@@SDADanCars i will get mine delivered next month

Hello my friend, I know you have a Tesla, but what would you buy now?
Now i would buy a very economical car probably full hybrid or electric. Depend on my budget and plans…. For moment iam happy with Model 3
Could have done without that indicator noise, is there any way of changing the tone or maybe turning it off?

Battery size is 2 kWh...
it's not plug in so battery is only for recovery energy from driving
