Unveiled this week at Belgium"s Brussels Motor Show, the Deck"up sits on 20-inch alloy wheels and has a radically styled body, featuring large glass shutters that slide back for true open-air motoring. There"s also a pick-up-style bay, as well as slide and twist rear seats. Power comes from a 135bhp, 2.5-litre diesel engine and is transmitted to the road via a six-speed manual transmission and permanent four-wheel-drive.
News of the Deck"up comes a year after Renault unveiled a similar vehicle based on the smaller Kangoo van, called the Break"up. A spokesman told us: "We have a Kangoo Trekka, but there is currently no 4x4 Trafic, so who knows? There are no plans to introduce the engine into the car range, though."
