Renault Sand Up Concept 2008

The Renault Sand Up Concept was designed by Renault Design Latina America, Renault's design center in Brazil, and was unvealed at the 2008 Sao Paulo Motor show. The Renault Sand Up Concept is based on the Renault Sandero Stepway, an "urban sport" vehicle launched in Brazil in October 2008 for the exclusive markets of Brazil and Argentina ( see wallpapers Renault Sandero Stepway below). The Renault Sand Up Concept is a modular 2 + 2 coupé combining cabriolet pleasure with pick up practicality.

The Renault Sand Up Concept is a modular 2 + 2 coupé that can be transformed from coupé to cabriolet to pick up. The Renault Sand Up Concept is based on the Renault Sandero Stepway, exclusive to the markets of Brazil and Argentina, and gives its four passengers a true cabriolet experience. It features two distinctive aluminium roof rail arches that stretch from the front of the roof to the tail lights. With the rear bench folded down, the Renault Sand Up Concept turns into a pick up. It can also be transformed into a coupé by fitting a red hard top on the roof rails. In pick up mode, Renault design America Latina created an intelligent mechanism that lengthens the cargo bed up to 40 cm to accommodate a range of objects. The load area can thus be extended to 1,7 meters and boasts a payload of 500 kg, for transporting scooters, jet skis, bikes and surfboards. the cargo bed can be closed using a stiff black cover to protect against the vagaries of the weather. In addition, the rear of the vehicle is accessed via a split-opening "clamshelf" system that is also found on the Renault Koleos.

The Renault Sand Up Concept is transformed easily into a coupé by manually attaching the hard top roof using solid anchor points. The result is a harmonious whole, with particular attention having been paid to blending the design of the hard top and the vehicle body. On the sides, traditional rearview mirrors have been replaced by two small cameras. the images they capture are displayed on a trapezoidal LCD screen mounted on the dashboard alongside a GPS.

For easier vehicle access, the doors open gull-wing style using an electro-hydraulic system. The doors are made entirely of transparent glass, giving driver and passengers remarkable lateral vision and flooding the cabin with light.
