Bang for your buck with Renault Duster

The Renault Duster is one of our favourite vehicles within the segment. We like the rugged yet stylish looks, the high ground clearance, the features on offer and the potent yet highly economical 1.5DCi turbo diesel engine. Here are a few other things that we like about this tough little Renault.

  1. Since the introduction of the 1st-generation of the Duster model in 2013, over 21,000 vehicles have been sold in South Africa – and more than 2 million units have been sold worldwide.
  2. With a ground clearance of 210mm, the Duster is more than capable of conquering any terrain with absolute ease, especially the 4×4 Dynamique model.
  3. This formidable vehicle is not only built for adventure but is really practical too with a super-spacious 478-litre boot.
  4. Safety is paramount in the Renault Duster, which is equipped with up to 6 airbags, EBA, Electronic Stability Control and ABS brakes.
  5. With a 50L petrol tank and incredible fuel consumption from only 4.8L/ 100km, the Duster is designed to take on the open road frugally.
  6. Geared to harness the spirit of adventure, this real SUV boasts features such as Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control, and an innovative 4×4 monitor to help assess the pitch and roll angles of this SUV at any given time. Other remarkable features include MediaNAV, a reverse camera, blind-spot warning, park distance control and climate control.
  7. The Duster is aesthetically pleasing, with its strong, powerful lines enhanced by 16” or 17” Alloy wheels with signature C-shaped daytime running lights.
  8. Stay entertained with Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto offered via the infotainment system.
  9. The Renault Duster 1.5 dCi EDC 4×2 TechRoad won its category (Diesel Turbo 1300cc – 2000cc) in the 2019 WesBank Fuel Economy Tour.
  10. Peace of mind is part of the package with the Duster with a standard 3-Year/ 45,000km Service Plan and a 5-Year/ 150,000km Warranty.
