The first units of the new Renault Austral were delivered in Spain at the end of October. The first customer in our country has been Beatriz Aguirrezabal, who received the car keys 9 days after placing the order in the facilities of Colmenar Automotor (Madrid). Beatriz, who bought a Renault Grand Scénic in 2012, went to the dealer to find a replacement that would allow her to enter the city center without restrictions. “Although Nuevo Austral was not one of our options at first, we were in love when we saw it and got to know it from the hand of the commercial advisor,” says the client. “The fact that all its versions have the ECO environmental label was also decisive.”

The chosen version was techno esprit Alpine, in pearl white with a black roof. The exclusive details of this version that enhance its sporty appearance, such as the 20 inch ‘Daytona’ wheels and the Alcantara upholstery with blue stitching, convinced Beatriz and her husband. In fact, this is the version most requested by Spanish customers. Another essential requirement for Beatriz and her family was that the delivery should take place within a reasonable delivery time. What surprised him is that he could enjoy his new car in just over a week. And it is that, thanks to the fact that New Renault Austral is produced at the Palencia plant and that Spain is the first country to market it, the stock currently held by the commercial network is very generous and diverse.
