Are we looking at an all-new Renault Avantime? That's the rumor which persists, though it might also carry the more sedate name of Austral Coupe. We know there's an Austral under the camo wrap, using the same platform as the current SUV. The roofline is sloped to create a modern coupe body, but specifics on styling are still well hidden behind camouflage wrap and false panels.
We've spotted the sleek SUV once before, but this time around the camo coverings up front have strange vertical boomerang patterns in plain view. We also see more of the narrow headlights, which match up to those on both the Austral and the reborn Espace. Yes, the Espace is back as an SUV; it's basically a longer three-row version of the Austral. Its rebirth is fuel for rumors of an Avantime revival, but we digress.
