Vehicle review

The latest generation Renault Duster looks much fresher than its predecessors. The most noticeable elements are the specific grille and attractive front optics.

In 2013, the car was modernized, in particular, some functions were added to it, and the front panel of the interior was modified, a large touch screen was built in and much more equipment.

The climate control vents still don't fit into the cabin, too massive. The glossy center console gets dirty from any touch of your fingers, which also causes some inconvenience. The dashboard received a third element - an on-board computer that displays system errors, power reserve, mileage and more.

Efficiency of a car with a manual transmission is also an important plus. Many drivers claim that the diesel engine burns no more than 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Given that this is a crossover, this figure will please everyone.

The dimensions of the body of the Renault Duster are also an advantage of the car, thanks to which the interior turned out to be very spacious, able to accommodate three passengers in the back row without any inconvenience.

Also, the volume of the trunk is not enough for the average family, but for one passenger this is quite enough. A photo of the size of the Renault Duster trunk is presented below.
