Renault Launches Niagara Compact Pickup Built in Córdoba

The truck goes on sale in Argentina with launch financing and export plans to 19 Latin American markets, while a hybrid variant due in early 2028 could raise production and add a second plant shift.

Overview

  • Renault began commercial sales of the Niagara in Argentina this week, offering four trims with published prices and dealer availability for immediate purchase or reservation.
  • The entire range uses a 1.3‑litre TCe turbo petrol engine (156 CV, 270 Nm) with either a 6‑speed manual or 6‑speed EDC automatic and a multilink rear suspension for improved ride comfort.
  • Launch offers include Mobilize Financial Services 0% financing lines with fixed peso installments and a tailored Plan Rombo subscription plan to speed customer access to new units.
  • Renault confirmed a hybrid Niagara targeted for early 2028, saying the electrified model was planned from the start and could add volume that justifies opening a second shift at the Santa Isabel plant to raise annual capacity toward about 60,000 units.
  • The Niagara will be produced at Fábrica Santa Isabel in Córdoba and exported to 19 Latin American markets, a move meant to boost local manufacturing jobs and position Renault against rivals such as the Fiat Toro, Ford Maverick and emerging electrified pickups.
