First, take a close look at the first picture on this thread.
Then, take a look at the following image:
The two look like one of those "spot-the-differences" image pairs because:-
Alaskan : Navara : : Terrano : Duster
(Nissan's Navara is also known as the NP300 in some markets.)
Renault & Nissan may have declared that there would be no more badge-engineered vehicles from their stables, but that is applicable for India

Think you've had enough of badge-engineering from the Renault-Nissan Alliance? Wait until the Mercedes-Benz X-Class is revealed. It may well turn out into something like this:

Nissan is currently developing the SUV based on the Navara. Hope they bring it to India ASAP.
