This one-tonne pick-up was initially released at the end of 2016 in Latin America where this type of vehicle has long been popular. Prior to the Alaskan, Renault launched the successful Duster Oroch. This segment breaker is based on a SUV platform with a double-cabin, four doors, five seats and a generously sized load bed. The New Duster Oroch quickly attracted customers in Colombia and Argentina where it emerged as the segment’s best-seller in a matter of months.

The presence of these two pick-up options in Renault’s portfolio is evidence of the brand’s global ambitions in the pick-up market which accounts for more than one-third of LCV registrations worldwide, i.e. five million sales annually.

Renault has chosen the Geneva Motor Show to reveal a comprehensively equipped version of the Alaskan, the perfect companion for combining sporty driving and winter leisure activities.

“Following the Alaskan’s release in Latin America, Renault is confident that European customers will also appreciate this one-tonne pick-up. The Alaskan is a powerful, muscular and robust pick-up that meets the need of the most demanding business customers and private buyers alike.” Ashwani Gupta VP, Global Head of Light Commercial Vehicle Business.
