Renault has ended the production of the Oroch pickup truck, and the remaining vehicles at dealerships constitute the last available stock, with no forecast for replenishment.
This information was confirmed by Ariel Montenegro, President of Renault Brazil, during an event held by the automaker this Monday (2). According to the executive, the pickup's production was finalized at the São José dos Pinhais unit in Paraná, and the company is only selling the existing inventory.
On Renault's official configurator, the Oroch can be found in three price configurations, ranging from R$ 132,890 to R$ 147,690.
The withdrawal of the Oroch from the market paves the way for the arrival of the Renault Niagara, a mid-size pickup that will be launched in Brazil in November, with pre-sales scheduled for the 10th. Manufactured in Argentina, the new pickup aims to compete directly with the Fiat Toro.
Originally introduced in 2015 as the Duster Oroch, this pickup, derived from the Duster SUV, served as a pioneer in the mid-size pickup category in the country, positioning itself between compact models, such as the Fiat Strada, and mid-size models, such as the Toyota Hilux. The Fiat Toro, which eventually led this segment, only arrived on the market the following year.
In 2022, there was a redesign that removed the term 'Duster' from the name and introduced the 1.3 turbo flex engine, capable of generating up to 170 hp and 27.5 kgfm, exclusive to the Outsider version. However, this version was also discontinued in January 2025, leaving the Oroch with the naturally aspirated 1.6 engine.
According to Renault data, the Oroch accumulated sales of over 270 thousand units in Latin America.
The Niagara, built on the RGMP platform, shared by the Kardian and Boreal SUVs, features larger dimensions than the Oroch: it measures 4.91 m in length (or 4.94 m in 4x4 version) and has a wheelbase of 2.96 m, compared to the Oroch's 4.70 m and 2.83 m.
Improvements to the bed include an increase in capacity from 683 to 938 liters, in addition to the addition of a retractable hard cover, an electrically opening tailgate, and a 12V socket. The payload capacity remains practically unchanged, at 654 kg.
The Niagara's mechanical system features a 1.3 turbo flex direct injection engine, delivering up to 160 hp and 27.5 kgfm. In the entry-level version, it uses a six-speed manual transmission, while other options feature a dual-clutch automatic transmission, with 4x4 traction available.
Inside, the most complete configuration offers a 10-inch digital dashboard and a 10.1-inch multimedia center integrated with Google and Gemini artificial intelligence. The vehicle is equipped with 26 driving assistants (ADAS), including the emergency automatic braking system. Additionally, the rear seat backrest allows reclining by 25 degrees. There are plans to make a hybrid version available in 2027.
