Creation of Renault Duster

Three years ago, the French concern Renault set itself the goal of creating a budget SUV. The result was a crossover that was out of competition in its pricing policy. This novelty was aimed at those buyers who did not have the opportunity to purchase jeeps with all sorts of "bells and whistles". About the Renault Duster car, the reviews of the owners were only positive.

In 2010, serial production started. The machine was actively supplied to many European countries, including the CIS. As expected by the developers, the budget model really had a successful commercial move. Indeed, those who dreamed of driving a new jeep now have a real opportunity to make their dream come true thanks to the Renault Duster. The performance of the crossover was on par with other expensive models.

But how did the Renault concern manage to create an SUV that, in terms of its technical characteristics, was no different fromcompetitors, while costing several times cheaper? The answer is very simple - the company managed to significantly save on the development of the model. Thus, the novelty has some similarities with Nissan (all-wheel drive platform) and Dacha Logan (appearance, interior and much more).

Car exterior

The exterior design of the crossover was quite successful for a budget car. Against the backdrop of massive SUVs, it looks pretty decent. Of course, there are still elements of budget in the design, but you can’t get away from it - for this purpose it was developed. The dimensions of the novelty are a bit reminiscent of the dimensions of Logan: length - 4.31 m, width - 1.82 m, and height - 1.62 m.

"Duster" - interior reviews

Nothing bad and nothing good can be said about the interior - all the details are made very simply, but also quite high quality. Textured plastic is the main component of finishing materials. The location of the measuring instruments and their design are copied with accuracy from the Romanian "Dachi Logan". The style and layout of the interior also have similarities - the front is spacious, and the back is narrow. "Renault Duster" - reviews about the salon once again speak about the budget of the car. The soundproofing is unfinished - in the city, the sound of the engine is almost inaudible, but on rough terrain the rustle and vibration noticeably increase. Buyers of the French SUV can choose from three engine options: 2 petrol and 1 diesel. The color scheme is also great - future owners can buy Renault Duster in the color of wet asph alt(which is the most popular in Europe), orange and many more.

In conclusion

The basic equipment of the jeep is very poor - there is only a power steering. It is worth noting that the volume of the luggage compartment in it is very large - 475 liters. It can also be increased 3 times by folding the rear row of passenger seats. But it is worth considering that in this case there will be no flat ground.

The main feature and main advantage of the novelty over competitors is low fuel consumption. In the city it is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, on the highway 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers. Renault Duster - reviews and specifications speak for themselves!
