With Niagara Concept, the brand opens a new chapter in Renault’s international history by bringing fresh air and modernity. Renault is working on a pick-up truck that looks like it could be out of a futuristic ‘Mad Max’ or ‘Ready Player One’ scene. With standout camo covering in several colours and 3D pop-culture-inspired Renault lettering on the front monster grille, it certainly is a striking new addition.

Known as the ‘Niagara Concept’, this truck has an ultra-bright light bar on the roof, a massive skid plate for added protection and even a winch attached to the front!

Underpinning the pick-up is the fact that it is driving the future of hybrid electric cars — this particular one has a mild-hybrid petrol engine. According to Renault, it can manage half of your daily commutes in full-electric mode, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. It boasts an advanced E-Tech 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive.

The new concept is also to showcase Renault’s ultra-flexible unibody platform of the future (as opposed to the ladder-frame configuration), which takes driving comfort to the next level. It measures 4900mm long with a 2950mm wheelbase and is described as an SUV-derived utility.
Renault also promises this beast of a pick-up will have “extra-high” ground clearance as well as “ample” off-roading angles, meaning it will be able to conquer just about any terrain. No doubt you will be able to take this baby on that dream 4×4 adventure.In addition, it will have all of the latest technology one would expect from a cutting-edge SUV.
