2017 Renault Alaskan 2.3-litre dCi - Powerful and ingenious
Renault Alaskan: Best-in-segment fuel consumption with Renault 2.3-litre dCi engine
– ALASKAN is powered by Renault’s fully-proven four-cylinder, twin-turbo diesel engine which also is featured in
the Renault Master range:
- 160hp and 190hp versions,
- Outstanding acceleration, plus fuel consumption and CO2 emissions amongst the very lowest in ALASKAN’s
class,
- Twin-turbo technology: a small turbo for smooth acceleration at low engine speeds, plus a bigger turbo for
performance at higher revs,
- Engine available depending on markets.
– Two other powertrains are available (depending on markets): 2.5-litre petrol engine (160hp) and 2.5-litre
diesel engine (160hp and 190hp).
– Choice of a six-speed manual gearbox or seven-speed automatic transmission, plus two or four-wheel drive.
Excellent off-road capability
– Drive modes: 2WD (Rear Wheel Drive) / 4H and 4LO (Integral 4WD)
- 2WD: for everyday motoring on paved roads – enhanced fuel economy and better handling,
- 4H (engaged while on the move at speeds of up to 60kph): if traction is partially lost (wet roads, rocks, etc.)
up to 100kph,
- 4LO (engaged with the vehicle at a standstill): in case of total loss of traction (sand, snow, deep mud, etc.).
Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD) with 4WD delivers a safer, more surefooted drive. This advanced
system uses braking sensors that constantly monitor wheel speed. Whenever the system detects that one of
an axle’s two wheels is rotating faster than the other, the brakes are briefly applied to slow the faster wheel for
improved traction, greater cornering stability and a safer feel.
– Rear-locking differential: mechanical lock of rear differential for difficult situations.
– Vehicle control aids: assistance during hazardous manoeuvers, enhanced driving comfort and safety:
- Hill Start Assist (HSA): briefly applies the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving backwards when
pulling away on slopes,
- Hill Descent Control (HDC): when traveling down a slope, HDC controls the brakes to prevent the vehicle
from going speed.
– Plus: Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Stability
Program (ESP).
