Renault ALASKAN Concept Pick-up

After introducing the Duster Oroch earlier this year, Renault is now taking the wraps  off the ALASKAN Concept which marks a further step  forward in its bid to win over customers in the constantly-growing pick-up market. Pick-ups account for more than one-third of total LCV sales and open up a fresh front for Renault’s product offensive.


The ALASKAN Concept  is a striking show truck that paves  the way for a pick-up that will have  a global calling. It combines a payload of one tonne with cutting-edge, athletic styling to meet the exacting needs of business users and individuals alike.

The ALASKAN Concept’s status-enhancing design fits perfectly with the aesthetic expectations of the pick-up segment, whilst remaining true to the Renault brand’s own styling cues.
