Set to be produced in India, the Boreal will become Renault's de facto flagship SUV in South Africa following the discontinuation of the Koleos. Renault has officially confirmed months of speculation by announcing that the Boreal will come to South Africa next year. For South Africa, though, production will originate at the Chennai plant in India that currently manufactures the Kwid, Triber, Kiger and Duster. Picture: RenaultUp front, Renault South Africa is likely to offer a solitary powertrain in the form of the Daimler co-developed 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol that also powers the Captur. While available with a six-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel drive elsewhere, South Africa is likely to only have front-wheel drive and a seven-speed EDC.
