2017 Renault Alaskan: Renault now takes the wraps off
ALASKAN, a one-tonne pick-up with a stunning design. Robust yet comfortable, ALASKAN is a powerful,
ingeniously thought-through vehicle. Developed in France, Japan and Latin America, ALASKAN is a genuinely
global product capable of covering the broad diversity of needs customers express across the world. The
comprehensive list of available body types extends from single cab to double cab and chassis cab versions, with
a short or long bed, and with wide and narrow bodies. Renault also provides a wide range of services, tailormade
conversions and accessories to fulfil all customers needs.
A remarkable design
The name ALASKAN was inspired by the Aleut word “ALASKA” which means “Great Land”. It conjures up wild,
rugged landscapes and is an open invitation to indulge the desire for adventure.
ALASKAN’s status-enhancing look fits perfectly with the aesthetic demands of the segment’s customers whilst
expressing Renault brand’s identity. The vehicle’s statuesque lines incorporate Renault design cues that bring a
modern, pleasing visual touch to the world of pick-ups.
Forceful front-end styling
– Renault’s new brand identity is expressed by the ALASKAN’s large chrome grill, a gloss black trim and a chrome
riser bar between the grill and the bumper.
– The muscular lines of the bonnet heighten the impression of strength.
– A proud and prominent logo.
Distinctive, eye-catching C-shaped full-LED lighting signature
Full-LED daytime running lights with C-shape signature.
– Headlights and fog-lights exude an inner strength.
Bold sculpted fenders and sleek, athletic lines
The dimensions of the assertive, imposing ALASKAN ensure a forceful stance.
– The design of its robust yet athletic sculpted sides includes prominent wheel arches to accommodate 16- or
18-inch diamond-effect alloy wheels.
– ALASKAN’s lines blend a sense of high-tech engineering and connote its robustness.
“The ALASKAN’s imposing front-end design and the muscular lines suggest power and strength. ALASKAN
brings a breath of fresh air to the pick-up world and enhances the customer experience irrespective of
whether it is used for business or leisure.”
