2016 Renault Duster Oroch and Sandero RS 2.0 unveiled

Renault recently unveiled two new models – the Duster Oroch and the Sandero RS 2.0.

The Renault Duster Oroch slots in between the half-ton and one-ton pick-ups. The double-cab model comes with four doors and five seats. Since its based on the Duster, it looks pretty much the same as the SUV, with the main difference being the short rear bed. Engine specs have not been revealed but it should be the same as the Duster, which consists of the 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre motors. The existing Duster crossover is sold in the Middle East with only the 135 hp 2.0-litre engine.

The Renault Sandero RS 2.0 has been built exclusively for Latin America and will also be the first ever RS model to be built outside Europe. The engine of the hot hatch produces about 145 hp and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. It is expected to be revealed in Argentina in early 2016.

Whether the Duster Oroch or Sandero RS 2.0 will make its way to the UAE or the other GCC markets is still not known.
