Renault Oroch: which version to buy
If you are choosing a Renault Oroch rather than reading a catalogue page, the split is simple. There is one generation of Pickup (2015-02-01 onward), with a restyling from 2022-04-01.
If you are choosing a Renault Oroch rather than reading a catalogue page, the split is simple. There is one generation of Pickup (2015-02-01 onward), with a restyling from 2022-04-01. Three named versions exist: 1.6 SCe at 120 hp / 88 kW / 159 Nm with a 5-speed Manual (first period, through 2022-03-31), 1.6 SCe at the same 120 hp / 88 kW / 159 Nm with a 6-speed Automatic (restyling, from 2022-04-01), and 1.3 TCe at 170 hp / 125 kW / 270 Nm with Variable (restyling, from 2022-04-01). All three are Gasoline, 4 Inline cylinders, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), FWD, 92 fuel. The restyling 1.3 TCe is the only version with Turbo and the only one with a measured top speed (189). Fuel use, mpg, kerb weight, gross weight, tank, ground clearance, and wheel sizes are not measured on any version, so a “which to buy” call cannot be made on economy, payload, or size — only on power, torque, 0–100, gearbox, and boost.
Renault Oroch generations: what changed when you buy later
Buy the first production window (2015-02-01 to 2022-03-31) and you get one version only: 1.6 SCe, Pickup, 1 modification. Buy after 2022-04-01 and you get the same generation after restyling 1: still Pickup, now 2 modifications. Production of the restyling has no stop date in the data (stop is not measured).
What the restyling actually changed, in numbers:
- Gearbox on 1.6 SCe: 5-speed Manual → 6-speed Automatic. Same 120 hp, same 88 kW, same 159 Nm, same 1600 displacement. 0–100 goes from 12.5 to 11.8 (0.7 quicker).
- A second engine appears: 1.3 TCe, 1300 displacement, Turbo, 170 hp / 125 kW / 270 Nm, Variable, 0–100 9.8, top speed 189.
- Unchanged across both periods: body Pickup; drive FWD; fuel 92; engine layout Front, transverse; injection Direct injection (direct); 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder; Independent, spring front and rear; front brakes Disc; rear brakes Drum.
There is no second numbered generation in the names of the periods. Choosing “a later Oroch” means restyling 1 of generation 1, not a new generation.
Renault Oroch specs: the three versions side by side
| Version | Period | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders / layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive | 0–100 | Top speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 SCe | 2015-02-01–2022-03-31 | 120 | 88 | 159 | 1600 | Gasoline, 92 | 4 Inline | not measured | Manual, 5 | FWD | 12.5 | not measured |
| 1.6 SCe | 2022-04-01–, restyling 1 | 120 | 88 | 159 | 1600 | Gasoline, 92 | 4 Inline | not measured | Automatic, 6 | FWD | 11.8 | not measured |
| 1.3 TCe | 2022-04-01–, restyling 1 | 170 | 125 | 270 | 1300 | Gasoline, 92 | 4 Inline | Turbo | Variable | FWD | 9.8 | 189 |
All three: Front, transverse; Direct injection (direct); Independent, spring (front and rear); Disc / Drum. Mass, tank, clearance, wheels, city / highway / mixed consumption, CO2, eco class: not measured.
The two 1.6 SCe rows share the same name. Distinguish them by gearbox and 0–100, not by power: both are 120 hp. There is no 299/309-style power split on this model.
Renault Oroch engine: 1.6 SCe vs 1.3 TCe (and what the searches do not match)
Search queries often ask for a 2.0, a 2000, a Nissan motor, or a Mercedes motor. Those engines are not in this dataset. The measured motors are 1.6 SCe (1600, 120 hp) and 1.3 TCe (1300, 170 hp, Turbo). There is no 2.0 and no 2000 in the version names.
Power per litre (arithmetic on the given figures):
- 1.6 SCe: 120 hp ÷ 1.6 = 75 hp per litre. 88 kW ÷ 1.6 = 55 kW per litre. 159 Nm ÷ 1.6 = 99.375 Nm per litre.
- 1.3 TCe: 170 hp ÷ 1.3 ≈ 130.8 hp per litre. 125 kW ÷ 1.3 ≈ 96.2 kW per litre. 270 Nm ÷ 1.3 ≈ 207.7 Nm per litre.
The smaller Turbo engine is about 1.74 times the specific power of 1.6 SCe (130.8 / 75) and about 2.09 times the specific torque (207.7 / 99.375). Absolute gaps: 1.3 TCe has 50 hp more (170 − 120), 37 kW more (125 − 88), 111 Nm more (270 − 159), and 300 less displacement (1600 − 1300).
Boost: 1.6 SCe boost is not measured; 1.3 TCe is Turbo. Both are Gasoline, 4 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), 92.
Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated: kerb weight is not measured on any version. Do not treat a lighter-sounding 1300 as a lighter truck — mass is not measured.
Renault Oroch performance: 0–100 and top speed, not mpg
0–100 is measured on all three versions; top speed only on 1.3 TCe; consumption is not measured on any (city, highway, mixed, mpg: not measured).
- First-period 1.6 SCe Manual 5: 12.5 to 100. Top speed not measured.
- Restyling 1.6 SCe Automatic 6: 11.8 to 100. That is 0.7 quicker than the Manual 1.6 SCe with the same 120 hp and 159 Nm. Top speed not measured.
- Restyling 1.3 TCe Variable: 9.8 to 100 and 189 top speed. Versus first-period 1.6 SCe: 2.7 quicker (12.5 − 9.8). Versus restyling 1.6 SCe: 2.0 quicker (11.8 − 9.8).
If the buying question is “which is fastest to 100,” the order is 1.3 TCe (9.8), then restyling 1.6 SCe (11.8), then first-period 1.6 SCe (12.5). If the question is “which uses less fuel,” the answer is not measured — mpg is not in the data for any Oroch version here.
Renault Oroch dimensions, weight, tank: not a buying filter
Kerb weight: not measured. Gross weight: not measured. Ground clearance: not measured. Tank: not measured. Wheels: not measured. Size and payload therefore cannot rank the three versions. Chassis items that are measured are the same on all three: Independent, spring front and rear; Disc front; Drum rear; FWD. Choosing a version does not change those labels in this dataset.
Reliability is a common search. This data does not include reliability scores, failure rates, or service intervals. A “reliable Oroch” verdict is not measured here.
Price, USA / Mexico / Colombia listings, Europe / UK / USA “for sale,” and comparisons of sticker price to RAM 700, Chevrolet Montana, Fiat Strada, Fiat Toro, or Duster are also not in the data. The arithmetic below is only between Oroch versions.
Which Renault Oroch version to choose
Choose first-period 1.6 SCe (120 hp, Manual 5) if you want the only version sold from 2015-02-01 to 2022-03-31, a 5-speed Manual, and you accept 12.5 to 100 and no measured top speed. You get 120 hp, 88 kW, 159 Nm, 1600, Gasoline, FWD, 92. You do not get Turbo, Automatic, Variable, or a second engine. Versus restyling 1.6 SCe you give up 0.7 on 0–100 and one extra gear (5 vs 6) for a Manual instead of Automatic, at identical peak power and torque. Versus 1.3 TCe you give up 50 hp, 111 Nm, Turbo, 2.7 on 0–100, and the only measured top speed (189).
Choose restyling 1.6 SCe (120 hp, Automatic 6) if you want the same 120 hp / 159 Nm / 1600 Gasoline engine after 2022-04-01, but a 6-speed Automatic instead of a 5-speed Manual. 0–100 is 11.8. Boost is still not measured. You still do not get the 170 hp Turbo. Versus 1.3 TCe you have 50 hp less, 111 Nm less, 2.0 slower to 100, no measured top speed, and 300 more displacement with lower specific output (75 vs ~130.8 hp per litre). What you do get relative to 1.3 TCe is a stepped Automatic with a counted 6 gears, versus Variable with gears not measured.
Choose 1.3 TCe (170 hp, Variable) if the buying criterion is power, torque, 0–100, or a measured top speed. It is the only Turbo, the only 170 hp / 125 kW / 270 Nm, the only 9.8 to 100, the only 189 top speed, and the only Variable. Displacement is 1300, not 1600. Versus either 1.6 SCe: +50 hp, +37 kW, +111 Nm, −300 displacement, Turbo instead of boost not measured, Variable instead of Manual 5 or Automatic 6. Specific output is the highest of the three. Consumption, weight, and tank remain not measured, so this is not a proven “lighter” or “thirstier” choice — only a stronger and quicker one on the figures that exist.
Restyling vs first period, same 1.6 SCe name: the extra the later 1.6 SCe “buys” in this table is one gear (6 vs 5), Automatic instead of Manual, and 0.7 on 0–100. Power, torque, displacement, fuel, cylinders, layout, drive, brakes, and suspension labels do not change.
If you need a number that is missing: mpg, tank, clearance, kerb/gross weight, wheels, CO2, eco class, and reliability are not measured. Those cannot decide the purchase from this catalogue. The decision that is supported: Manual 120 hp 1.6 SCe (first period), Automatic 120 hp 1.6 SCe (restyling), or Turbo 170 hp 1.3 TCe Variable (restyling) — ranked by 0–100 12.5 / 11.8 / 9.8 and by 159 vs 270 Nm.
