The Citizen (Gauteng)

A stronger, more masculine offering

-

The all-new Renault Duster builds on and reinforces the Duster’s existing strengths, but its renowned DNA remains at the core of an extremely capable SUV, which is tough, simple and reliable, yet accessible based on the value propositio­n.

The Duster boasts an all-new exterior styling, delivering a distinctly assertive and robust look, highlighti­ng its SUV pedigree.

Although it appears visually more muscular, the Duster features the same compact dimensions.

It is distinguis­hable by an expressive front and rear, heightenin­g the impression of stability.

Its rugged stance is emphasised by its bold, more horizontal lines, new 17-inch wheels ensure a more assertive profile, aluminium roof bars are more prominent and front and rear skid plates support its adventurer credential­s.

The Duster now has even greater offroad capabiliti­es, evidenced by the enhanced ground clearance of 210mm, the higher approach and departure angles and the introducti­on of Hill Descent Control in the 4X4 model.

The vehicle offers a step up in quality with an upgraded interior for a more comfortabl­e and user-friendly cabin experience. The dashboard has been redesigned to present a more status-enhancing and ergonomic interior.

Travelling comfort is heightened by the more enveloping seats, numerous easily accessible stowage spaces and improved accessibil­ity of controls, amongst which is an enhanced Multimedia experience.

The Duster is distinct through its range of high-class equipment to facilitate everyday driving, such as a multi-view camera; blind-spot warning; automatic climate control; hill descent control and keyless entry.

The Duster will be available from October 1 – in both petrol and diesel engines, with the diesel engines coming in manual, EDC and 4X4 options.
