In our Russian car market Renault Duster crossover For several years, it has been considered one of the most sought-after off-road vehicles. But recently there has been a growing demand for cargo versions of such cars, implemented in the back of a pickup truck. Many have appeared on our roads Toyota Hilux, Volkswagen Amarok and trucks of other brands, but there is no French pickup yet. And, probably, in vain the French do not notice the obvious. Stretch out a little more - the market segment will be seized by the competitors finally. True, for a poor average Russian, Amarok and Hilux, even second-hand, cannot afford it. But a truck based on Duster probably would have been in demand no less than the SUV itself. Brazilians are such a truck called Renault Duster Oroch, let out for the car market two years. And now they have added a budget option to the line of this truck.
The Brazilian office of Renault is not the first time that makes us jealous of Hispanic drivers. Last fall, for example, they officially presented a conceptual version of the Renault Duster Extreme - an off-road version of the SUV with adequate ground clearance, rubber with an aggressive tread and other extreme equipment such as a winch and snorkel. But the concept of an extreme SUV will long be brought to mind, and the Duster Oroch truck is the cheapest, and therefore available to many Brazilians, a complete set can already be ordered from local car dealers authorized by Renault. 
From the very beginning Duster Oroch its creators have positioned themselves as an image car designed for local gold youth, who are certainly not going to carry sheep or firewood in it, but on the contrary, they will load sports equipment, such as bicycles and surfer boards, into their bodies. Well, unpretentious local girls ride there. But then the French managers decided to create a sort of utilitarian pickup model. She was called OrochExpress Duster. It is extremely simple interior, appearance also does not pretend to sophistication. The rear suspension remained independent. Although the all-wheel drive car did not. Under the hood there is a 1.6-liter bit-fuel engine for one hundred and twenty horses. It works in pairs exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission. Eats with the same appetite and gasoline and ethyl alcohol. Equipped Express only anti-lock system, power steering and a pair of airbags. You can, however, buy electric windows, they are not originally included in the package. 
The truck was too naked. Brazilian car dealers of 66200 reais are asking for it, that after converting them into our domestic rubles, according to the current rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, it will be about a million two hundred thousand. For such a simple truck, by our standards, of course, a little expensive, but according to Brazilian, given the traditional high cost of vehicles in this country, it’s not expensive at all. But if we started to produce this pickup truck in a localized manner, the price list would definitely be much more modest. It is possible that in the future generation of Duster for the Russian market, engineers will also provide for its cargo version. But while it is impossible to speak about it authentically.
The French will officially represent the second generation of the Renault / Dacia Duster, most likely at the near Frankfurt Motor Show, which will be held in the fall. But the "Indian" Renault Duster recently failed tests conducted by specialized on crash tests by Global NCAP. Affected localized assembly flaws.
