Test drove one and it was great, waiting for the RS. So much better than the VW T Roc, 15k more and the interior is rubbish. Doesn’t even have electric seats. Awesome value for money.
I think buying is Kia Sorento base model $45 is more sensible than this.... which is 7 seats, more spacious, more reliable and donest depreciate as much as this.
Renault should try the American market again. I wish we had the same options as Europe. Oh well, at least we have artery clogging fast food joints on every corner. 😟

In essence, ATECO has promised otherwise to your claims according to dealerships I've spoken to, and they're successfully negotiating getting Dacia vehicles here which is a good sign.

It works, whether it's a failed TV or car. Regardless, Renault is worlds ahead of where they were and only 4% have any kind of issue that needs resolving according to 2021 WhatCar survey.
Go get a CX-5 for more of your cash and regret it. Poor customer service, loud buzzy engines that love to guzzle petrol, and just a boring same-same design with no interesting features inside orr out.

@@Snip59 Hyundai Kia is good. And the appeal of Renault is not confined to obscurity, I love my Renault SUV along with my Hyundai runabout. The Renault is far more refined and packed with more features, and they both do the job, but the Renault has a cushier ride quality and more suitable to long distance drives. The brand is miles ahead of where it was.
@@Snip59 dude, are you kidding me right now. It's priced well above the most expensive midsize Renault Arkana SUV, and as far as I can tell, that's the 1.6L engine DCT for $46.5K. That engine doesn't have much extra power or torque over the Arkana, and it uses 0.9L/100km more fuel. On top of that, it has a 374L boot which makes it impossible to transport bulky goods or travel with much as a family, when the Arkana is 485L. There's no comparison that can be drawn here.
I had no idea that these things existed until I stumbled upon one today, how anyone in Australia could have actually bought one is mind boggling. I even feel pity for the guy doing the review, sure, it is a perverse spectacle to witness a vehicle like this, but how you managed to remain positive throughout must have taken a superhuman effort.
Funnily enough every brand out there copied Renault with the first MPV, the Espace. Renault was also the first to get 5 star Euro NCAP crash test results, and they carried that across their whole SUV range.
dated interior and exterior. A subpar engine. a unreliable renault. sorry just not my car. I can accept a peugeot. better to wait for all new peugeot 3008.

My mom bought one and it a 10/10
till it breaks
@@stephenjacobs5640 what happens then?
@@dontoni8041 sell it fir scraps
A bourgeois gle coupe! , not much to look at in the interior tho, all you paying for is the styling the engine and a couple of knick knacks .
How about the new Hyundai SUV 2 litre NLine Premium.Worth checking out leaves other SUV in there wake.
Wow how bad is the mic audio had to find a different review
485 l is for the Hybrid model ...what you got there is 513 l trunk...so misinformation
Looks like a miniature GLC200 coupe knock off.
This looks better and much more affordable
Why is it compared with audi / bmw!!!
well said
I do not like it. Second thought, may be i will check out at dealer.
Check them all out, take your time, no test drive is wasted.

Barf. Dosen't look any better when the French copy the coupe SUV trend. At least it's not as terrible to look at as an X4.
Copy? Its not a copy lol its just an suv coupe
Interior is a huge disappointment. Not exciting at all. Literally all you're paying for is a second hand gle exterior
The only thing I found quite annoying in Renault cars..is interior design.. except that everything is absolutely amazing..
Stylish woooow 😍
Just a SUV coupe not a cheaper coupe
The Matrix is real. Get some rest. You’ll need it.
Renault is now no longer through a factory operation, it’s through a distributor. That alone makes this a no buy for me.
The distributor cares more about expanding the brand rapidly which will provide you with more support. Weird logic there.

Looks awful
