Renault confirmed the development of a new pick-up that will be manufactured at the Santa Isabel, Córdoba plant. It will be a model designed for the local and regional market, aiming to compete directly against the Fiat Toro.
The launch is scheduled for 2026, although details about its range and prices have not been revealed yet. It will be based on the Niagara Concept, a prototype that anticipates a robust design and modern mechanics.

A pick-up with Nissan's touch
Renault will not be alone in this project. As with the Frontier and the Alaskan, Nissan will launch its own version based on this model, with some differences.
This is part of the collaboration agreement between both brands, which allows for platform sharing and production cost optimization.
