Rustikaler Renault: Bringt Renault den neuen Pick-up Niagara zu uns?
Renault macht die Schultern breit und wagt sich in den Dreck. Denn jetzt bauen die Franzosen einen neuen Pick-up. Der startet zwar erst mal in Südamerika, doch eine globale Karriere ist denkbar.
Paris. Renault is constructing a fresh pick-up truck, which they have named Niagara. This new vehicle will be manufactured in Argentina and is set to debut in South America at the stroke of midnight. However, Renault suggests that exporting the Niagara to other regions is not off the table, potentially making it a competitor for models like the VW Amarok or Toyota Hilux in our market.
Designed to be as robust as a commercial vehicle while also resembling a compact SUV, the Niagara measures nearly five meters in length. It will initially be offered as a four-door model, boasting a load capacity of around 700 kilos and a cargo volume of close to 1,000 liters underneath its integrated roof panel. When needed, this panel can retract into a sturdy roll-over mechanism.
Despite its imposing appearance, the Niagara is powered by a modest 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, which is designed to run on both gasoline and ethanol, a configuration known in South America as a Flexfuel engine. This engine produces up to 120 kW/160 PS and comes standard with all-wheel drive, suitable for the segment and road conditions it is targeted for. Renault has not yet announced pricing for the Niagara.
