Renault Alaskan (2017)

Renault Alaskan

Initially unveiled in Colombia in 2016 and already a success in Latin America's long-standing pick-up market, Renault Alaskan goes on sale in Europe starting in September 2017.

This stunning one-tonne pick-up includes:

Alaskan's striking design means Renault's latest model truly stands out in the pick-up world. Alaskan fully embraces the visual identity of the Renault brand thanks to its dynamic front end, distinctive lighting signature and athletic stance that suggests power and strength.

Renault's new visual signature is characterised by a large chrome-finished grille. The lower beading, also finished in chrome, underlines the grille's dynamic design and runs between the two headlights to create a natural visual connection between the grille and the bumper.

The muscular lines of the bonnet emphasise Renault Alaskan's rugged appeal.

The prominent Renault logo stands out against a glossy black background.

A Full-LED lighting signature for a distinctive look

Alaskan's C-shaped lighting signature extends beyond the headlights to give the vehicle with an even more assertive and distinctive appearance.

Full-LED 'Pure Vision' headlamps (depending on the version) reinforce the brand's visual identity and fulfil the dual function of dipped and main beam headlights.

Beyond the lighting signature's striking design, the bright light produced by Alaskan's Full-LED technology - similar to that of sunlight - ensures the vehicle's head lights are 20% more powerful than traditional halogen bulbs, giving drivers significantly improved visibility.

Alaskan's chiselled lines and impressive dimensions make it a status-enhancing vehicle that effortlessly exudes both power and strength.

Its athletic profile includes prominent wheel arches that house 16- or 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheel rims.

The side panels are accentuated by numerous chrome touches, from the window trims to the door handles.

Renault Alaskan is a muscular pick-up that responds well to the demands of both business customers and ordinary motorists

Professional contractors, traders and landowners, for example, often need a robust and versatile vehicle that is capable of carrying heavy loads, yet can also comfortably accommodate colleagues or family members.

There are many different ways of configuring Alaskan to suit the needs of business customers who work in the construction, freight or medical sectors.

Some retail customers want a spacious vehicle with cabin comforts worthy of a conventional passenger car with a generous rear load space and a high towing capacity for leisure use, all combined with exceptional off-road capability to tackle any kind of adventure.

With its cutting-edge five-link rear suspension and particularly robust chassis, Alaskan is strong enough to handle any situation, delivering exceptional travelling comfort that is complemented by a generous, practical and versatile cargo bed, as well as a spacious and comfortable cabin.

Five-link rear suspension for exceptional travelling comfort

Thanks to its five-link rear suspension, Renault Alaskan is one of the few pick-ups in the large SUV segment to benefit from a widely employed architecture that guarantees outstanding travelling comfort.

This pioneering new five-link rear suspension ensures an excellent ride and handling, along with premium comfort for all passengers, without compromising the vehicle's off-road capabilities or rugged qualities.

It is a technology that generates an enhanced driving experience compared to the more conventional leaf spring configuration that is to be found on the vast majority of pick-ups.

The major benefit is better filtration of road noise and vibrations, and consequently greater comfort for all occupants.

Alaskan's ladder-frame chassis - a product of the Renault-Nissan Alliance - guarantees the robustness that customers expect of a vehicle of this type, whether for business, off-road or leisure use.

This structure, coupled with the chassis's super-high-tensile-strength steel, delivers increased torsional stiffness and improved structural rigidity.

Alaskan's chassis plays a major part in the vehicle's outstanding off-road ability.

A generous, practical and versatile cargo bed

The bed's generous dimensions produce a large loading area of 2.46 square metres.

Alaskan's bed offers a unique loading capacity in its segment thanks to its clever C-Channel tie-down system which ensures all cargo is completely safe and secure. This fastening system is composed of fixed rails on three sides of the bed and four sliding hooks to attach and tie down all types of loads quickly and practically.

The bed's tailgate platform can withstand up to 500 kg, facilitating loading and unloading.

At just 81 cm from the ground, the bed is particularly easy to access.

A range of accessories also helps to protect, safeguard and organise the loading process.

A spacious and comfortable cabin for all occupants

Alaskan offers plenty of interior space with a cabin that is comfortable for the driver and passengers.

Alaskan is equipped with automatic dual-zone climate control that guarantees optimum thermal comfort for all occupants, with the notable inclusion of independent air conditioning for front and rear passengers.

Alaskan also offers plenty of easy-to-access storage compartments around its cabin, including a centre console and storage bins in the doors and underneath the rear seats.

Alaskan is a powerful vehicle that incorporates ingenious design features to cater to its owners' every need, even in the most extreme conditions. The potent Renault 2.3 dCi engine has remarkable torque, yet sets the class standard in terms of low emissions and fuel efficiency. Renault Alaskan also benefits from exceptional off-road ability, perfectly suited to every kind of adventure. Ingenious, Alaskan features smart, intuitive technology - such as 360-degree visibility.

The most fuel-efficient pick-up thanks to its Renault 2.3-litre dCi engine

With an NEDC combined-cycle fuel consumption of 6.3 litres/100 km and a CO2 emissions rating of 167 g/km, Alaskan is the cleanest and most efficient vehicle in its sector.

Alaskan features Renault's four-cylinder 2.3-litre dCi diesel engine, available as either a single (160 hp) or twin (190 hp) turbo and already highly popular in the Renault Master range.

Available with either a six-speed manual gearbox or seven-speed automatic transmission, Alaskan is rated best in its class in terms of acceleration and efficiency.

This engine's remarkable performance can be attributed to the following features:

Renault Alaskan is designed to be a match for all types of terrain and is perfect for exploring even the most treacherous trails.

Alaskan offers a choice of three different driving modes.

In this configuration, for normal driving conditions, power is transmitted the rear wheels only.

This mode suits everyday usage on normal roads and provides higher levels of road holding and energy efficiency.

This mode delivers traction via all four wheels and is ideal for slippery conditions.

It can be activated at speeds of up to 60 kph using the 'Shift on the Fly' button and is suitable for gentle off-road use, in case of partial loss of traction (such as on wet roads or gravel). High-ratio four-wheel drive transmission functions up to 100 kph.

This mode also covers all four wheels, but uses a supplementary torque transfer box to enhance traction - and thus grip - on extreme terrain.

It can be switched on at standstill and is perfect for intense off-road duty when there is a total loss of grip, such as on sand, snow, thick mud, etc.

These functions are complemented by a number of driver and vehicle-control aids that reinforce Alaskan's truly adventurous spirit.

Alaskan is also equipped with the following:

Alaskan is equipped with a five-inch TFT 3D colour display located in the centre of the dash. It incorporates a range of important features and information for the driver, such as:
