Renault Australia MD Justin Hocevar has confirmed what many motor industry watchers consider “a given”: that, yes, he wants the Renault version of Nissan’s upcoming new Navara in Australian Renault showrooms.

And it won’t simply be a Navara with a Renault badge on the nose: he also said that it will have its own Renault sheet-metal and Renault styling, though the platform and drivetrains will be shared.

In fact, read between the lines of Mr Hocevar’s responses (following), and, London to a brick, the ute is on its way.

“We’re not hiding the fact that this is a very important vehicle and that we’re very interested in it. In fact, we’re working hard on the business case (for Australia) and it is looking extremely good,” Mr Hocevar said.

“Timing is not confirmed, there is still some time to go, but we’re extremely pleased.

“We’re glad we’ve got this visibility in the time-line so that we can get all the things right in advance,” he said.
