The Alaskan marks Renault’s entry into the lightweight pick-up truck segment.

It benefits from Renault’s alliance with Nissan and shares parts with the NP300 Navara.

The Alaskan gets slight changes to its exterior when compared to the 2015 concept, including new tail-lights and larger door mirrors.

The pick-up’s rear bed is available in short and long guises, depending on the market.

The rear bed features four quick-fit hooks to secure load. There’s also a bed-mounted 12V power supply.

The Alaskan sports the familiar family grille design seen on other new Renault models.

Inside, there is a 5.0-inch TFT infotainment system with smartphone connectivity.

The new pick-up is powered by a 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine available in two states of tune – 160hp and 190hp.

Gearbox options include a six-speed manual as standard with a seven-speed automatic available as an option.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available as an option.

The Alaskan has a ground clearance of 230mm and can tow trailers of up to 3.5 tonnes.
