Renault has revealed the name of the vehicle marking the start of its new international product offensive: Renault Kardian. The future urban SUV, which is set to first roll out in the South American market, required an evocative name that conjures up both strength and agility while containing internationally clear consonants. But what does the name mean, and what does it bring to mind? Sylvia, Model-naming Strategy Manager within the Renault Global Marketing Department, breaks it down by sy.
The Renault Kadjar will eventually be replaced by a new compact SUV model called Austral, which is set to debut in 2022. The name Austral is derived from the Latin word australis, and joins a new range of compact SUVs. Renault says it will “boast innovative connected technology and provide the pleasure of eco-driving.” Renault also revealed that this model.
