Renault Unveils the Niagara: A Compact Hybrid Pickup Truck for Latin America

Renault's Conceptual Pickup Blends Gasoline and Electric Power for Versatile Performance

 

Renault highlights that the Niagara is capable of handling half of your daily drives in full-electric mode. This means it can function as a rear-wheel-drive electric truck once the internal combustion engine is turned off. Although specific details about the battery pack remain undisclosed, the pickup’s petite size and the limited electric range suggest a compact battery setup.

The Renault Niagara measures 193 inches in length, positioning it as a smaller pickup compared to models like the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick. It utilizes the CMF-B platform, featuring unibody construction similar to the compact trucks it competes with. The vehicle boasts generous suspension travel and sports chunky all-terrain tires, complemented by three spare tires – one on the roof and two in the cargo bed.
