Renault South Africa has confirmed that it is looking at bringing its new Duster Oroch bakkie to the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking to CarMag<\/a><\/strong>, the car manufacturer said that it is targeting a 2020 introduction for its four-door unibody bakkie, but fell short of an exact timeframe as its international models are currently left-hand drive only.<\/p>\n

Renault Australia recently indicated that a right-hand drive production of the bakkie looks positive, with the Duster Oroch a likely import towards the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

In addition to Australia and South Africa, Renault had previously confirmed that the\u00a0Duster Oroch will be available in other European markets.<\/p>\n

The Duster Oroch is currently manufactured in South America, and is based on the Duster SUV framework.<\/p>\n

It has four doors, space for five passengers, a 650 kilograms (1,430\u00a0lb) load capacity and is currently manufactured in both a 1.6 and 2.0 litre\u00a0variant.<\/p>\n

However motoring.com.au<\/a><\/strong> has indicated\u00a0that a smaller 1.2 litre version could also be made available in European territories.<\/p>\n

The South American Oroch is currently offered with an array of options including a rear sports bar, soft cargo cover, fog lights, side steps, cargo extension and cabin protection bars.<\/p>\n
