Renault Duster Oroch concept revealed

Apparently pick-ups account for 75% of the South American light commercial vehicle market. So Renault’s decision to convert the Duster SUV into a truck makes a lot of sense (even if it’s just a concept for now).

The Oroch, which is due to be unveiled at the upcoming São Paulo Motor Show, combines a five-seat, four-door cab with a short cargo box. A set of 18” wheels, chunky bumpers and some protective body cladding help to achieve a suitably rugged look.

In typical attention-grabbing concept style, some rather superfluous features are also part of the specification. These include a large panoramic glass roof, two rear-mounted video cameras and a kiteboard rack.

Renault has yet to confirm whether or not there’ll be a production version of the Duster Oroch.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
