” Designing a car means setting quantitative and qualitative objectives for each service, and measuring their achievement throughout development. “. Here is how we could summarize the joint work of Frédéric, vehicle evaluation expert (external to product design) and Benjamin, vehicle synthesis manager (engineering). These two employees of the Renault Group have thus swallowed thousands of kilometers aboard the Austral but also of its direct competitors. ” If the vehicle we are testing is not on the right trajectory, we have the power to issue an unfavorable opinion at the passing of a milestone… In other words, the project does not move on to the next phase of its development and the Engineering teams must review their copy »explains Frederic.
The test phases are therefore essential to the smooth running of the creation of a product. These testers must ultimately strive for an opinion that is both neutral and objective. ” The important thing is that we both defend the interests of the client. We always end up finding not only common ground but above all solutions »says Benjamin.

To carry out this mission, the two friends drive the cars in all possible driving conditions. Whether it’s the climate, the state of the road and even the altitude: nothing is left to chance. For example, the Austral SUV tests took place in the south of Spain but also in Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden. According to the diamond brand, the two engineers also spend more than half of their working time driving prototypes in real situations. ” We deliver a subjective feeling in its expression, but very analytical in its argumentation. We must be able to explain and factualize our impressions in all the areas tested: road holding, suspension, steering, braking or performance, to name only the main characteristics. », ends Benjamin. This multitude of tests should therefore not be too much when you know the expectation around this Renault Austral. This is supposed to straighten the manufacturer’s position in the compact SUV segment, of which a certain Peugeot 3008 dominates the French market head and shoulders.
