Renault Australia has announced plans to hikes prices across its range, citing market conditions.
Effective from next months, the entire local line-up will increase by between $100 and $2210.
The average rise equates to $1270, with only the Renault Kangoo van picking up an increase below $1000.
“Shipping costs and an increase in the price of raw materials” forced the decision, according to executive Glen Sealey.
Many manufacturers have increased prices over the past 18 months, in the wake of supply disruptions.
