Test drove today (only one in Aus I think). Was interested in the car. Coming from a 2020 leaf. Would’ve been a nice upgrade but I think the Aus market for Renault is very much an afterthought, they will not be selling many here :( Many negatives to be aware about:
- $69,690 drive away price 😐
- No Android Automotive OS
- No google maps or any navigation built in
- App doesn’t work yet
- Communication module is only for 3g, (about to be disconnected in Aus from end December 2023), dealer can’t guarantee it will function after that or will be upgraded.
- Wireless android auto was tricky to setup. car software is pretty bad.
- No one-pedal-driving option
- No power seats
- Servicing is predicted to be $400 every 12 months.
- Rear boot space feels way smaller and less functional than the leaf. The false floor/compartments make it less usable.
- Rear passenger space very cramped. Ok for small adults, but no taller than 180cm. also foot space is very poor.
- No auto rear hatch.
Positives.
- Drives nice (leaf is better/smoother because of one-pedal-driving though)
- Efficient ~13kw/100km. Summer.
- Looks nice
I think my Volvo ex30 order will be locked in instead.

Mate look at the MG4 or ZS, or the BYD - renault is a joke compared yo what is on offer from the Chinese brands.
Lol @ a Renault, let alone a $70k Renault. They just need to withdraw from the Australian market or rebadge/rename/reimagine themselves.
Volvo EX30 has great first reviews. seems like a solid choice. is the BYD Seal available in Aus yet? that would be a roomier option.
Arriving next month
It’s the same here in Brazil, the atto 3 is better in almost every aspect AND it’s significantly cheaper
