Renault Alaskan concept
On sale next year
Renault is previewing a new global truck due Q1 2016 through this Alaskan concept.
The Duster Oroch double cab pickup truck is only a
Latin America affair, but the good news is Renault is planning an
international pick up truck in
2016 when the production version of this concept will be launched.
It's currently being described as a "work hard, play hard" all-road
vehicle designed for business
and leisure use, as well as for everyday motoring.
As expected, it has received the typical oversized alloy wheels which in
this case measure 21 inches. It also hosts full LED technology for the headlights
and taillights while power comes from a four-cylinder, longitudinally-mounted twin-turbodiesel
sourced from the Master range. Although
not specified in the press release, the model will likely have a lot in
common with the Nissan Navara as the shape of the body clearly shows
similarities with the model offered by Renault's partner and the
production version will likely look even more like the Navara.
Interestingly, it has been equipped with a camera mounted
within the door mirror housings for the purpose of recording the
scenery while
in the back there's a load bed big enough to host mountain bikes,
camping gear,
surfboards and other similar items. Its satin-effect brushed paint has
been combined with polished metal accents as well as blue and yellow
detailing for the mirrors, front tow hook, brake calipers and wheel rim
centers.
Renault says the production product will be "similar in spirit" with
the Alaskan concept and will have the same size. In addition, the model
won't be limited to a double cab configuration as the utilitarian
vehicle is
going to be offered in several body styles once it will go on sale
in the first
half of next year and it will provide a maximum payload of 1,000 kg.
