Renault due to release new one-tonne pick-up truck in 2017
The Renault Alaskan concept has been revealed, and previews the company’s planned production pick-up truck, due to go on sale next year.
The Alaskan is due to be the company’s first global pick-up, and will be built alongside equivalents from Nissan and Mercedes-Benz, the latter of which is due by 2020. The production Renault and the Mercedes will share some of their architecture with the Nissan NP300 Navara, although both companies will engineer and design their own final versions to keep their identity intact.
The one-tonne Alaskan comes with 21-inch wheels, full LED lighting, satin-effect and brushed and polished metal finishes on the exterior.
Despite its commercial vehicle nature, Renault is pitching the Alaskan at the private, leisure focussed user. As well as what Renault describes as high quality interior standards, and space for five in the cabin, the Alaskan concept also comes with a camera located in the door mirror to film the passing landscape. It is also offered with a selection of accessories such as load bed liner and cover.
The Alaskan comes with the 163bhp 2.3-litre 165hp twin turbo diesel that features in the Master van. Although there are no official performance figures quoted for the Alaskan, it is capable of an official economy of 40.4mpg in the Master.
The production version of the Alaskan will be revealed in summer 2016 before going on sale in Europe the following summer.
