The updated Renault Duster (2014 was a successful year for the car), despite a short period of stay in the global automotive market, has gained immense popularity. This is confirmed by the release of the millionth copy in January 2014. Excellent statistics and recent restyling make the vehicle very attractive. Many car enthusiasts could not wait for the updated Renault Duster to appear, and here it is.
Backstory
Serial production of the compact crossover began in 2000. Already at the start of sales, he won the popularity of motorists around the world. It should be noted that they created a crossover company Renault and Nissan on the Nissan B0 platform. About 70% of the parts of the first generation of the car were borrowed from existing models of both companies. In the domestic market, "Duster" also enjoyed incredible success: in two years, starting from 2012, about 150,000 units were sold, which made the Russian market the world leader in sales of budget SUVs. The manufacturer has high hopes forupdated "Renault Duster" in Russia.
Restyling
Transformations of the "Duster" can be called cosmetic (the front and rear of the car have changed), but this does not make them inconspicuous. Restyling gives the SUV a modern look, while emphasizing its off-road capabilities.
The updated "Renault Duster" received a solid front end thanks to a modified radiator grille and a powerful bumper with a plastic frame around the lower air intake. Round fog lights complete the picture.
The manufacturer decided to present the car as a serious SUV. This is evidenced by the curved and high raised wheel arches. Smooth, wide rectangular doorways are traversed by stamping, and footboards in the form of slips complement the design of the side of the car.
The stern of the SUV is distinguished by the original shape of the dimensions, the wide tailgate and the presence of a chrome pipe.
Features
The updated "Renault Duster" has practically not changed in size: the length of the car is 4315 mm, the height is 1625 mm and the width is 1822 mm. Remained the same and the wheelbase of the crossover, equal to 2673 mm. Vehicle ground clearance - 205 mm.
The basic version is equipped with alloy wheels 215/65 R16, while alloy wheels are available only as an option. The total weight of the crossover is 1280-1450 kg.
The changes that the "Duster" was subjected to are far from global, but the appearance of the car has become moreattractive and modern. According to the designers, this will play an important role in increasing sales.
Salon
The updated "Renault Duster" practically does not differ in interior decoration from its predecessor. But for the Russian market, the company promises a special, higher-quality interior trim than the one used for European modifications. Nevertheless, there is cheap plastic in the cabin, which cannot be overlooked. The front panel looks poor, and the location of some elements is inconvenient.
But there is plenty of space in the novelty: not only the driver and front passenger, but also people in the second row of seats can comfortably sit down. It should also be noted excellent visibility and good sound insulation of the car.
Trunk
We cannot but rejoice at the increase in the luggage compartment, the volume of which has grown to 475 liters in the normal state, and with the second row folded - up to 1,636 liters. In all-wheel drive versions, the trunk capacity is slightly less: 408 and 1560 liters.
Specifications
The updated Renault Duster is supplied to the domestic market with three engine options. The standard engine is a 1.6-liter V4 with 102 horsepower. It is installed on the front-wheel drive version and works in conjunction with a 5-speed "mechanics". With this engine, the crossover accelerates to “hundreds” in 11.8 s. The average fuel consumption in the combined driving cycle is 7.6 liters. All-wheel drive version withthe weakest engine is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. In this case, acceleration to 100 km / h is carried out in 13.5 seconds, and fuel consumption is 8.2 liters.
The second engine option is a 1.5-liter V4, working with a 6-speed manual transmission. With it, the SUV accelerates to hundreds in 15.6 s. Fuel consumption in mixed driving is only 5.3 liters. In addition to low fuel consumption, this engine has another important advantage: it is adapted to severe frosts and low-quality gasoline.
And the last (luxury) engine is a 2.0-liter 135-horsepower V4 with multiport fuel injection. The motor is equipped with a 6-speed "mechanics". Acceleration to "hundreds" is carried out in 10.4 s, and the consumption in combined mode is 7.8 liters. The all-wheel drive version with this engine accelerates to 100 km/h in 11.7 seconds and consumes 8.7 liters of fuel.
Packages and prices
The updated "Renault Duster" comes in four versions: "Authentique", "Expression", "Privilege" and "Luxe Privilege". The price of the domestic version starts at 492,000 rubles. The cheapest all-wheel drive sedan will cost 558,000 rubles. With an automatic gearbox, the initial cost of the car is 642,000 rubles.
