雷诺近日在日内瓦车展发布了全新Alaskan一顿皮卡。该车目前已经在拉美上市，今年底就将在欧洲大陆销售。Alaskan由雷诺日产和戴姆勒共同开发，除了Alaskan还有另外两款车，分别是奔驰X-Class和日产Navara，Alaskan将销往全球市场，但该车不会进入美国市场。该车采用了Navara的多连杆后悬以确保“优异的操控性、抓地力和行驶舒适性，同时不影响车辆的越野性能”。虽然该车称为一顿皮卡，但由于采用梯形框架底盘，实际承载量超过一顿。欧版车型将搭载2.3升dCi双涡轮引擎，功率有119千瓦/160马力和141千瓦/190马力两种，搭配六速手动或七速自动变速器和后驱及四驱。其中四驱版本还提供了电控后差速器，而机械锁止后差速器则用于应对越野行驶。如果用于日常使用，需要另外加装更多配置，包括加热前排座椅，双温区空调，360度摄像头和集成7英寸显示屏导航系统。
Renault Alaskan is a less glitzy Mercedes X-Class
Renault is further expanding its utility vehicle lineup with the European debut of the all-new Alaskan one-ton pickup. The truck is already on sale in Latin America and will see its market launch on the Old continent “at the end of 2017.”
The Alaskan is the French member of a trio of pickups, developed by the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler.The other two models, which share the same platform, are the Mercedes-Benz X-Class and the Nissan Navara. The Alaskan will be offered globally, but, of course, you won’t be able to buy it in Alaska, since Renault is not officially represented in the United States.
Naturally, the Alaskan features Navara’s multi-link rear suspension, which ensures “outstanding handling, road holding and travelling comfort for all occupants, with no detriment to the vehicle’s off-road ability or ruggedness.” While it’s labeled as a one-ton truck, Renault says actually its ladder frame chassis allows payloads of more than one ton.
In Europe, Renault will offer the pickup with a 2.3-liter dCi biturbo engine in two power stages – with 160 and 190 horsepower (119 and 141 kilowatts). The motor can be mated to a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmissions, both sending power to either the rear axle or all four wheels. If you go for the AWD model, it will reward you with an electronic rear differential, while a mechanical locking rear differential is also available in case of more hardcore offroad use.
If you are going to use the Alaskan as a daily ride, it can be equipped with many cool features at an additional cost. The list includes heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera, and a seven-inch navigation system.
