2022 iRenault Austral iza e-Australia? I-SUV ethatha indawo yeKadjar iqondise iNissan Qashqai neToyota C-HR ezinezitimela eziyi-hybrid ne-mild hybrid powertrains.

IRenault Austral yinkulu kuneKadjar kodwa incane kuneMazda CX-5.

I-Renault yethule indawo yayo efakwe ugesi iKadjar ethandwa kakhulu, futhi isemakhadini ase-Australia.

I-Austral SUV entsha ivala igebe ohlwini lwakwaRenault emhlabeni jikelele olushiywe iwele lakwaNissan uQashqai Kadjar, elithathe unyaka owodwa kuphela emakethe yase-Australia.

I-Austral ihambisana nohlelo olwandayo lwakwaRenault lwamaSUV amancane, osekuvele kukhona i-South Korean Arkana coupe kanye neMegane E-Tech EV, esanda kwethulwa e-Europe.

Isekelwe enguqulweni yakamuva ye-Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-C/D yesikhulumi, ephinde inike amandla isizukulwane esisha iNissan Qashqai ne-X-Trail, iMitsubishi Outlander, i-Renault Kangoo van entsha nezinye eziningi.

Ngobukhulu, i-Austral inkulu kuneKadjar, inde ngo-61mm, ubude bayo bungu-5mm nobubanzi obungu-25mm, ine-wheelbase engu-21mm ubude.

Ihlezi ndawana thize phakathi kweKadjar endala neMazda CX-5 ngobukhulu, okusho ukuthi ingaqhudelana namaSUV amakhulu amancane afana nomzala wayo iQashqai neKia Seltos, kanjalo neCX-5 neHonda CR- V esesigabeni seSUV esimaphakathi. .

Indawo yemithwalo ye-Austral ingathwala amalitha angu-500, okungamalitha angu-28 ngaphezu kweKadjar, kodwa lokhu kwehla kumalitha angu-430 ku-hybrid yokukhiqiza.

Zontathu izinketho ze-powertrain zinohlobo oluthile lokufaka ugesi, ayikho inketho kadizili. I-powertrain iqala ngenjini engu-1.2 litre turbocharged three-cylinder kaphethroli, ibhethri le-lithium-ion engu-48-volt kanye ne-starter motor enamandla angu-97 kW. Ihambisana nozishintshayo futhi idla amalitha angu-5.3 kaphethiloli ngebanga lika-100 km.

I-12-volt mild hybrid itholakala nenjini engu-1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder kaphethroli eyakhiwe ngokubambisana neMercedes-Benz ekhiqiza amandla angu-104 kW ne-manual transmission kanye ne-119 kW/270 Nm eshintshwayo. Lokhu kufakwa kudla amalitha angu-6.2/100 km.

I-flagship powertrain okwamanje i-hybrid "self-charging" yochungechunge lwe-E-Tech, ehlanganisa injini kaphethiloli engu-1.2 litre turbocharged, injini kagesi kanye nebhethri ye-lithium-ion engu-1.7 kWh enamandla kagesi angu-400 V. 146 kW kanti idla amalitha angu-4.6/100 km.

Yize lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zihlobene ngokuzenzakalelayo neNissan Qashqai, zinezinhlobo ezahlukene zokusethwa kwe-hybrid. I-Nissan isebenzisa injini eyi-four-cylinder ekhiqiza amandla angu-140 kW/330 Nm futhi idla amalitha angu-5.3/100 km.

Womathathu ama-powertrains ane-regenerative braking, kanti i-Austral chassis iphuma nama-suspension amabili ahlukene - i-torsion beam yamamodeli anamasondo amabili esiteringi kanye ne-axle yangemuva enama-link amaningi ene-4CONTROL Advanced yesiteringi esinamasondo amane.

Ngokokuqala ngqa, kuzohlinzekwa imodeli entsha ephezulu, ebizwa nge-Esprit Alpine, okuwuphawu lwezimoto ezihamba phambili zeRenault Group, ezinomklamo wangaphandle wezemidlalo nangaphakathi.

Ngaphakathi, i-Austral ithola ukuthuthuka okukhulu kwedijithali uma kuqhathaniswa neKadjar. I-Renault ibiza ukusetha isikrini sayo se-"OpenR", esihlanganisa iqoqo lensimbi yedijithali engu-12.3-intshi nesikrini semidiya esiqondile esingu-12-intshi. Iphinde ibe nesibonisi esingu-9.3 inch.

Kunamabhathini amaningana kudeshibhodi, kanti i-centre console ibekwe phezulu ukuze isebenze njengezindawo zokumisa izingalo zomshayeli nomgibeli. I-shift lever itholakala esiteringini njengoba kwenzeka ezinhlotsheni eziningi zakwaMercedes, ivumela indawo yokuphumula enkulu, ene-cantilevered palm abathi kwaRenault yenza ukusebenzisa i-touchscreen kube lula.

Izohlinzekwa ngohlelo oluphelele lwezinto ezithuthukisiwe ezisiza abashayeli - kwaRenault bathi 32 baqinisile - okuhlanganisa stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, i-othomathikhi yokubhuleka eziphuthumayo ngaphambili nangemuva, isexwayiso sokusuka emzileni, isexwayiso sokuphuma ngokuphepha nokunye okuningi.

Umkhulumeli wakwaRenault Australia uthe ayikho imininingwane azokwabelana ngayo ngalesi sikhathi, wengeza ngokuthi: "Kodwa siyayemukela yonke imikhiqizo ye-RHD futhi sibheke ngabomvu ukuhlola ukuthi iyafaneleka yini emakethe yethu."

Esimeni lapho i-Austral ithola ukukhanya okuluhlaza e-Australia, ingase ifike kuma-showrooms ngo-2023 uma kubhekwa ukuthi angeke idayiswe eYurophu kuze kube ikota yesine yalo nyaka. Futhi uma kubhekwa ukuduma kwama-hybrids, ungalindela ukuthi i-hybrid ekhiqizwe ngobuningi izonikezwa lapha.
