The engine of the New Renault Boreal will be the well-known 1.3 TCe turbo flex four-cylinder, developed in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. The power has been adjusted to 163 horsepower, but the excellent torque of 27.5 kgf.m has been maintained.

Design and Dimensions: Larger Than Rivals
The look of the Boreal is one of its strong points. The front features the new 2.5D logo from Renault and a set of full LED headlights that create a striking light signature.
The sides are marked by 19-inch wheels with diamond finish, a black-painted roof, and hidden rear door handles in the pillar, creating an “SUV coupe” effect.
Tech Interior: The Google System and Refined Finish
Inside, the New Renault Boreal impresses with its finish and technology. The dashboard adopts the OpenR concept, with two integrated 10-inch screens: one for the instrument panel and another for the multimedia center.
The major differentiator is the native Google system. This means the car comes equipped with Google Maps, voice assistant, and the Play Store app store, without the need to mirror a phone. The equipment list also includes premium sound from Harman Kardon, a panoramic sunroof, electronically adjustable seats, and ambient lighting with 48 colors.

The New Renault Boreal will come equipped with safety features. There will be up to 24 driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking.
The price range has not yet been confirmed, but the expectation is that the SUV will be launched with prices between R$ 200,000 and R$ 230,000, positioning it competitively against the top-of-the-line versions of its main rivals.
With such a complete package, the New Renault Boreal has everything to stand out in the most competitive segment in the country. But what about you, what do you think of the new Renault SUV? Leave your opinion in the comments.
