Renault hikes prices in Australia for the second time this year
Just three months after last increasing prices, Renault Australia is set to add a further $2210 to some models.
The cost of a new Renault in Australia is set to surge for the second time in four months.
On 1 March, local distributor Ateco hiked prices by as much as $6100 on some model variants.
Effective from 1 July 2022, the entire local line-up will climb again by between $100 and $2210 (full list below).
The average new rise equates to $1270 – or approximately 3.0 per cent on a $40,000 model.
The Renault Kangoo van range and Koleos Black Edition SUV are the only vehicles to pick up increases of less than $1000.
"Shipping costs and an increase in the price of raw materials" forced the decision, according to Renault executive Glen Sealey.
Many manufacturers have increased prices over the past 18 months, in the wake of supply disruptions.
In 2021 Renault reported 7099 cars as sold in Australia, up slightly from 6904 during 2020.
