The Boreal arrives as the first medium SUV from Renault produced and sold in Brazil and uses the mechanical set as its main showcase.

While prices and official versions have not been revealed, the focus is on the 1.3 TCe turbo flex engine and the automated dual-clutch transmission.

Mechanical Set: 1.3 TCe and EDC Dual-Clutch Transmission

Renault equips all versions of the Boreal with the 1.3 TCe, a turbo flex four-cylinder engine with 16 valves and direct injection, produced by Horse.

The engine delivers 163 hp with ethanol and 156 hp with gasoline, as well as 27.5 kgfm and 25.5 kgfm of torque, respectively. The EDC automated dual-clutch transmission features six gears, aiming for quick shifts and efficiency. The set is completed with disc brakes on all four wheels (ventilated at the front and solid at the rear) and McPherson suspension at the front and torsion beam at the rear.

When and Where: Production in Paraná and Debut in November

Renault is already producing the Boreal in São José dos Pinhais (PR), at the world’s first factory dedicated to the new medium SUV. In addition to the Brazilian market, the brand plans to export to another 17 countries in Latin America. The arrival in stores is expected in November, and pre-sales will begin in the coming days.

Positioning and Versions: What We Know So Far

The Boreal debuts to directly rival Jeep Compass and Toyota Corolla Cross. Prices and versions have not yet been disclosed.

According to Autoesporte’s findings, the range is expected to have three versions, with prices between R$ 200,000 and R$ 250,000. The commercial strategy will likely mirror that of the Kardian, and the names of the configurations could be the same: Evolution, Techno, and Iconic (in addition to Authentic aimed at PcD).

Dimensions and Space: Corolla Wheelbase and Spacious Trunk

In terms of dimensions, the Boreal measures 4.56 m in length, 1.84 m in width, 1.65 m in height, and 2.70 m in wheelbase, the same as a Toyota Corolla. The trunk offers 522 liters (VDA) and can reach 1,279 liters with the rear seats folded, a configuration that benefits families and travel.

Cabin and Connectivity: Two 10” Screens and Comfort

Inside, the SUV features a 10” instrument panel and a 10” multimedia center with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless. At least in the most expensive version, the list includes electronic parking brake, wireless charger, dual-zone digital climate control, and panoramic sunroof.

Safety and Assistants: Up to 24 Systems and 360º Vision

In terms of safety, the Boreal includes up to 24 driving assistants. Among them are blind spot alert, adaptive cruise control (ACC), emergency autonomous braking, lane centering and lane change assistant, and safe exit alert. The package also includes four cameras for 360º vision, park assist for automatic maneuvers, and front, rear, and side parking sensors.

In Summary

Renault places the 1.3 TCe + EDC 6-speed set at the center of the Boreal’s proposal and builds around it a medium SUV with domestic production, spacious trunk, good technology list, and advanced assistances. With its debut expected in November and imminent pre-sales, the model is positioned to compete directly with Compass and Corolla Cross, while the brand finalizes the definition of versions and prices.

In Summary

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

How to build a 35,000-liter cistern with 60 by 50 cm panels and rainwater for drinking and cooking without relying on water trucks or the city hall.

With a 1.0 engine producing 75 hp and costing less than R$ 70,000, Fiat’s car returns to the podium as the cheapest in the country; a temporary promotion for the 2026 Like version reduces the price of the Fiat Mobi.

Chocolate prices soar nearly 15% and become a luxury item for Easter 2026, with increases surpassing inflation and changes in Brazilian consumption habits.

The Himalayas continue to grow to this day, with tectonic plates advancing 5 cm per year, mountains rising up to 10 mm annually, and the 2015 earthquake that killed 9,000 people may have increased the risk of an even larger seismic mega-event.

Created by George Lucas with over $1 billion, a futuristic museum in the shape of a spaceship with 1,500 curved panels is about to open in Los Angeles and will house one of the largest private collections of narrative art in the world.

With a mild hybrid system of 48 V, 176 hp and a price of R$ 175,990 in the Sahara version, the new Jeep Renegade changes mostly on the inside, improves slightly in fuel consumption, and remains almost the same car.

With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.

With a 1.3 engine, nearly 700 km of range, and Turbo 200, the Fiat model surpasses Polo, Tera HB20, and Onix, becoming the best-selling car in March; see the numbers for the Fiat Strada and others.

The Honda Fit has been discontinued for years, but the 2018 model is worth more today in the Fipe table than it cost brand new, proving that this used car, valued with a 1.5 i-VTEC engine and Magic Seat, only increases in price.
