Новый пикап рено: новый кузов, комплектации, цена, фото и дата выхода в России

Рамный пикап Renault Alaskan — для Европы и Южной Америки — Авторевю

Компания Renault взялась за освоение рынка пикапов с завидным энтузиазмом. Прошлым летом в Аргентине был представлен грузовичок Renault Duster Oroch грузоподъемностью полтонны, а теперь премьеру справил однотонный пикап Renault Alaskan. Причем если относительно компактный Oroch с несущим кузовом пока не собирается выходить за пределы южноамериканского рынка, то рамный Alaskan будут продавать по всему миру.

Пикапы Renault: Alaskan и Duster Oroch

Как и ожидалось, новый пикап представляет собой пререлицованную версию грузовичка Nissan NP300 Navara, который дебютировал почти два года назад, а прошлой осенью вышел на европейский рынок. Alaskan из Навары сделан примерно таким же способом, что и Nissan Terrano из Дастера. Отличия в первую очередь стилистические: оригинальное оформление передка, иные колеса, задние фонари и задний борт кузова, а на передних крыльях появились бутафорские воздухозаборники. Но боковины остались нетронутыми, а в салоне изменился только руль.

Силовые агрегаты — такие же, как у Ниссана. В Европе и некоторых других странах Alaskan будут продавать с турбодизелем 2.3 dCi от фургончика Renault Master: в базовой версии с одним турбонагнетателем этот мотор развивает 160 л.с., а мощность битурбоверсии — 190 л.с. Для рынков Южной Америки предназначены модификации с ниссановскими бензиновым двигателем 2.5 (160 л.с.) или турбодизелем 2.5 dCi прошлого поколения той же мощности. Коробки передач — шестиступенчатая «механика» или семиступенчатый «автомат» еще от Навары прошлого поколения.

Пока что представлена только титульная версия с двухрядной кабиной, но позже в гамме появятся пикапы с короткой кабиной и даже шасси для установки сторонних надстроек. Такие варианты будут иметь традиционную для подобных машин рессорную заднюю подвеску, а вот четырехдверный Alaskan (как, впрочем, и Navara) щеголяет задним мостом с пружинами и креплением на пяти рычагах. Это позволило улучшить управляемость и повысить ездовой комфорт.

Привод — задний или жестко подключаемый полный (с понижающей передачей и блокировкой заднего дифференциала). В последнем случае дорожный просвет достигает 230 мм, а максимальная масса буксируемого прицепа — 3,5 т. Набором опций Renault Alaskan также не отличается от Навары: помощник в старте на подъеме, система спуска с горы, двухзонный климат-контроль, электропривод передних сидений, мультимедиасистема с семидюймовым тачскрином, бесключевой доступ и камеры кругового обзора.

Выпускать Alaskan будут на трех заводах, причем только два из них уже производят Навару: это предприятия Nissan в мексиканской Куернаваке и испанской Барселоне. Машины местной сборки станут продавать, соответственно, в Южной Америке и Европе. Чуть позже подключится завод Renault в Аргентине. А вот на родной для Навары сборочной площадке в Таиланде Alaskan не появится, ведь в Азии марка Renault почти не известна. На российскую землю пикапы Renault тоже не придут — даже Nissan принял решение не поставлять к нам новую Навару, хоть модель прошлого поколения у нас продавалась.

Кстати, Renault Alaskan — первый, но не последний двойник Навары. В следующем году свет увидит родственный пикап Mercedes-Benz! Такие машины будут выпускать в Аргентине и Испании, но объем переделок обещает быть гораздо более существенным, нежели просто смена внешности.

90000 Renault Alaskan Review (2020) | Autocar 90001 90002 Renault’s own version of the Nissan Navara pickup truck. The Alaskan is one of three models to use the jointly developed Renault-Nissan pickup platform. 90003 90002 The Navara and the Mercedes-Benz X-Class are both built alongside the Alaskan at Nissan’s plant in Barcelona, ​​although each has its own distinctive look and, in the case of the X-Class, has been fine-tuned and altered slightly to better reflect Mercedes ‘values. 90003 90006 90002 While the project has been a collaboration from the start, the shared engine is all Renault, with a 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel unit — found in Renault Master vans — used to power the truck with two power outputs. 90003 90002 The dCi 160 delivers 158bhp and 297lb ft of torque, while the dCi 190 develops 187bhp and 332lb ft. Both power ratings are also found in the Navara and X-Class. 90003 90011 How does the Alaskan differs from the Navara? 90012 90002 The front section of the truck has been changed to give it a more familiar Renault appearance. That means a new grille, bonnet, headlight and bumper design.However, at the rear of the vehicle, only the central section of the tailgate has been altered, flattening it to make room for the large Alaskan badging. 90003 90002 There’s a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmissions with selectable four-wheel-drive and a low-range gearbox. For more ambitious off-roading, there is also the option of a locking rear differential and the Alaskan has a maximum approach angle of 30deg and departure angle of 27deg. 90003 90002 Maximum payload is 1035kg and it has a 3.5-tonne towing capacity. The rear load deck is 1578mm long and 1560mm wide, with a total usable area of ​​2.46m2. 90003 90002 Like the Navara, this is a proper working vehicle. Renault has not changed much and nor should it need to. 90003 90002 The Alaskan is a vehicle built for markets where Renault has a strong market presence in countries including Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. Renault expects the Alaskan to be a global vehicle, though, and is targeting the Middle East and Europe, where it sees the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger as its main competitors.90003 90011 Giving the Alaskan a rough time 90012 90002 The pickup must be a formidable off-roader in order for that to happen — and, fortunately, it is. Although equipped with multilink coil suspension rather than leaf springs, the Alaskan still cuts it in arduous conditions. Over gravel tracks and poor road surfaces, the front and rear coils comfortably soak up the bumps, while in extremely muddy conditions the four-wheel-drive system, electronic limited-slip differential and locking rear differential all help keep the Alaskan moving.90003.90000 Renault Alaskan pickup (2017) review 90001 90002 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 ► Renault Alaskan pickup driven 90011 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 ► French-faced Nissan Navara 90011 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 90003 ► Plenty of performance but rugged ride 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90029 90053 90002 Pickups are big business globally, which is why more and more manufacturers are trying to get in on the action.One of the latest is Renault, which has recently launched its Alaskan pickup into Europe, after an earlier debut in Latin America in 2016. 90053 90002 But Europe in this instance does not include the UK — the Alaskan’s launch here has been delayed, possibly indefinitely, as Renault tries to make sense of the business case. Should we be bothered? We grabbed a quick go in one in France to find out. 90053 90058 The Alaskan looks strangely familiar … 90059 90002 To be fair to Renault it’s given the Alaskan a great nose job — but as with the rest of the car world, much of the pickup segment is rather inbred these days.This French truck is actually a Japanese one. 90053 90002 Like the Mercedes X-Class, the Alaskan is based on the Nissan Navara, uses the same pair of 2.3-litre engines and has the same multi-link rear suspension design, which employs car-like coil springs in place of the cart- spec leaf springs most rivals still favour (for strength, it has to be said). 90053 90002 90065 90053 90002 Unlike the X-Class, however, there is no fancy-pants re-engineering at work here. Aside from that handsome face and a minor makeover for the tailgate and rear light clusters, the Alaskan appears to be a Navara through and through.90053 90002 On the inside, for example, the only difference is the Renault badge on the steering wheel. 90053 90058 Is that good or bad? 90059 90002 In general pickup terms, pretty good. The Navara has one of the sharper driving experiences, can tow 3.5-tonnes and offers over 1,000kg of payload capacity — key pickup stuff. Therefore ditto the Alaskan. 90053 90002 The cabin is solidly built and relatively SUV-like, and the double cab bodystyle gives you four doors and plenty of room for four adults — five at a push.90053 90002 90078 90053 90002 Supposedly the seat design was even ‘inspired’ by NASA, which is not something you get to write every day. Judging by the Navara that sadly does not necessarily make them hugely comfortable over long journeys. But our jaunt in the Alaskan was a relatively short one, so what the hell. 90053 90058 What’s the Renault Alaskan like to drive? 90059 90002 What the Alaskan does not offer is quite the same level of driving — or interior — polish as the X-Class or, in some respects, the VW Amarok.To an extent this is excusable, since it’s not likely to command pricing in the same premium league as either of those rivals. 90053 90002 The Renault is also faster and more fuel efficient than the Mercedes, so there’s that. It also has the economy advantage over the Volkswagen, but who cares when every Amarok is now fitted with a grunt-tastic 3.0-litre V6. 90053 90002 Anyway, keeping up the Mercedes comparison, the Renault’s engine is noisier, the ride quality more irritable and the body roll generous to the point of excessive.The steering is weighty but numb, and while the top spec 187bhp twin-turbo dCi certainly is not lacking in motivational spirit, given 332lb ft from 1,500rpm, the gearing means you will not be leaving many things standing at the traffic lights. Thank goodness. 90053 90002 90091 90053 90002 The optional seven-speed automatic does at least prevent you from having to deal with the ponderous action of the six-speed manual, though, and there is a precision and accuracy to the chassis that makes the Alaskan easier to stomach than many of its ilk.90053 90002 Switchable four-wheel drive and plenty of ground clearance come as standard, but this is not a truck that’s afraid of tight city streets. 90053 90058 Verdict 90059 90002 It looks neat, drives better than most rivals and also benefits from one of the most efficient pickup powertrains on the market; it would also likely be priced competitively rather than outlandishly (hello Ford Ranger, rather than you must be kidding Mercedes). Renault also has an extensive commercial dealer network that could offer convenient servicing times for the thing.90053 90002 So for people who actually 90102 need 90103 a vaguely smart-looking pickup, the Alaskan’s absence from the UK is a bit of a shame. But suspecting that hollow diamond badge is not likely to offer the same lifestyle kudos as the rugged Japanese establishment or the posh German heavy metal players, we can understand Renault’s reluctance to take the chance. 90053 .90000 Renault Presents New Electric Kangoo Z.E.
