Renault price rises alert! 2022 Renault Megane, Captur, Arkana, Koleos, Trafic and Master to be up to $6100 dearer from March amid industry challenges

The Megane RS hot hatch’s sole Trophy grade now costs $6100 more.

From March 1, Renault will be the latest automotive brand to increase the pricing – but not standard specification – of most of its models in Australia due to ongoing industry challenges.

The Megane RS hot hatch has copped the largest price rise, with its sold Trophy grade up $6100 to from $60,090 plus on-road costs (see full pricing tables below).

Meanwhile the Captur small SUV has risen $1300-1900 (from $30,090), while the Arkana small SUV and Koleos mid-size SUV have jumped $600-1100 (from $34,590) and $600 (from $33,590), respectively.

Of note, with its next generation on the horizon, the Kangoo small van (from $26,290) is the only model to be unaffected.

But Renault Australia’s other LCVs, the Trafic mid-size van (from $38,590) and Master large van (from $47,090), have become $1200 and $1100-1360 more expensive, respectively.

“Like many brands in Australia, Renault have had to increase prices due to significant material and shipping cost changes over recent months,” Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey said.

“We know, however, that the Renault range still represents a premium European offering combined with genuine value thanks to its high levels of safety, technology and cutting-edge design.”

Justin Hilliard
Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
