Renault Symbioz
VS
If you want a sensible, well-rounded family SUV you can actually drive home today, the Renault Austral is the clear choice — comfortable, efficient and unfussy. The Renault Symbioz, by contrast, is a futuristic concept car full of show-stopping ideas and tech, perfect for gawking at motor shows but hardly practical for your weekly supermarket run.
Renault Austral
Renault Rafale
VS
Between the Renault Austral and the Renault Rafale, the Austral is the practical, family-focused SUV that prioritises comfort, space and everyday usability, while the Rafale leans into coupe‑SUV styling and a sharper, more dynamic driving character. Choose the Austral for sensible value and room for all the shopping bags; pick the Rafale if you want something that looks sportier and turns heads — at a slightly higher price for the thrills.
