Are You Tired of the Old Look of the Renault Oroch? The French Brand Has Just Kicked Off Its Most Ambitious Project in the Compact Pickup Segment: The Renault Niagara, Also Known as the New Oroch. The Company’s Bet on Compact Pickup Aims for the Leadership of the Toro.

The announcement was so grand that it attracted even executives directly from France for a global presentation of the model. The new bet from Renault aims to capture a share of a market previously dominated by the Fiat Toro in Brazil.

Expected to arrive in Brazil around 2025, the new pickup will be built on the CMF-B platform, the same used in the Renault Kardia.

The flexibility of this technological base allows the brand to create a pickup with more generous dimensions, with a wheelbase that can reach an impressive 2.90 meters in length.

Another highlight is the possible hybrid engine, which shows that Renault is keeping an eye on sustainability and fuel economy, following a global trend of vehicle electrification.

Although the presented model is a concept and is expected to lose some elements by the time of its final version, the expectation is that the design will follow the same visual line as presented.

It’s worth remembering that something similar happened with the first Oroch, which was presented at the 2014 Auto Show and had a final design quite faithful to the initial concept.

Eight New Models on the Way: Versatile Platform Is Renault’s Bet

The CMF-B platform will not be exclusive to the new Oroch. Renault plans to launch up to eight new models based on this same architecture, which demonstrates the versatility and multiple possibilities that this new base allows.

With the Fiat Toro reigning alone in the compact pickup segment, Renault has a golden opportunity to shake up the market with its new bet.

Oroch Niagara comes with the mission not only to update the brand’s lineup but to challenge the sales leader in the country. Now we have to wait and see if the project will come to fruition and captivate Brazilians. Stay tuned!

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

In just 34 days, a giant tablet-operated printer erected the largest 3D-printed apartment building in Europe, three months faster than the traditional method and using half the workers on the construction site.

A silent boat powered solely by solar energy sits in the middle of the planet’s most polluted rivers, swallowing up to 50 tons of trash per day, and it does this alone, without fuel and without stopping, before the plastic reaches the ocean.

A 220-meter giant powered in part by solar energy and lithium batteries has just unloaded nearly 5,000 Chinese cars at the Port of Itajaí. It is the first of ten Grimaldi super ships and the first in the world prepared to run on ammonia as fuel.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Fiat’s diesel pickup with 170 hp becomes a “find” in Brazil, appearing for less than R$ 95,000 with a 9-speed automatic transmission, 4×4 traction, up to 756 km of range, and a load capacity of 1,000 kg.

With a 1.4 TSI turbo flex engine and a range of up to 728 km, the Volkswagen sedan that goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds, reaches 210 km/h, and has a trunk capacity of 521 liters becomes a rarity among used sports cars.

4 used cars starting from R$ 50,000 with a flex engine achieve up to 17.1 km/l, come with six airbags, multimedia with Android Auto, and a trunk of up to 475 liters; the list includes Onix Plus, HB20S, Peugeot 208, and Mobi.

Renault Kardian 2027: with a 1.0 TCe Flex engine, six-speed manual transmission, up to 116 hp and 22.4 kgfm, the SUV will be lighter and more economical to cost less than Fiat Pulse, VW Tera, and Citroën Basalt in the Sustainable Car Program.
