Nathan was an absolute star throughout the entire leasing process. He was incredibly helpful in guiding me towards choosing a car that suited both my needs and budget, making sure the monthly payments and rental terms were just right for me. He was informative, patient, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Nathan went above and beyond to secure the best deal on the car I wanted and genuinely took great care of me from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend him enough — if you’re thinking of leasing, definitely get in touch with him. 100% recommend!

Renault Austral SUV

The Austral’s ‘E-Tech Hybrid’ powertrain is a self-charging hybrid system, which never need to be plugged in, yet which offers considerable power of 203 PS.

The Renault Kadjar had a good go at winning-over the UK's car-leasing public, falling just short. But the massive C-SUV segment is far too important to ignore, so Renault is having another crack at it with the Austral.
Sitting above the coupe-SUV Arkana and beneath the incoming Rafale flagship, the Austral is prepared to go head-to-head with the all-conquering Nissan Qashqai, the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson dynamic duo, and about 20 other models from all the mainstream manufacturers.
Like the Kadjar, the Austral once again shares its basic platform with the Qashqai but features Renault's own take on a hybrid powertrain, plus one or two high-tech features you won’t find anywhere else.
We’ve been testing the top-of-the-range Iconic Esprit Alpine version to find out if they’re enough to turn the car-buying public’s heads.
