Review of the budget "Frenchman" - Renault Duster: the characteristics of the car

Now Renault Duster has already grown fond of domestic drivers and take its niche in the automotive market of our country. Over the years, automotive engineers and marketers are trying to create a universal vehicle. However, in the huge list of modern crossovers there are practically none that can be called universal. Naturally, when Renault declared that she wanted to create such a car and set a price comparable to a budget Golf sedan, it sounded too ambitious and presumptuous.

But in 2009 the French proved to the whole world that their idea is real and feasible by bringing to the market a model that, for an adequate price, provided buyers with what they always expected from such a car. The famous brand, four-wheel drive and diesel under the hood - all this combined Renault "Duster". The Renault Duster characteristics also satisfied all the needs of customers. But about all the details below in the article.

Long to talk about the exterior and interior of the "Duster" does not make any sense. This car, like classic jeans, which you can wear for work, and for a picnic, and in some situations, combined with a jacket, you can go to a restaurant. Design "Duster" is exactly the same. Black bumpers and stamped wheels of low-cost versions are tuned to a serious harmony, while at the same time keeping the nerves off-road and in city red tape. A "jacket" for the release of the light for "Daster" are the attributes inherent in the top-end equipment of this car. The top Renault Duster features slightly improved performance. It boasts body-colored bumpers, silvery trim elements and alloy wheels. In general, the dastard silhouette of Duster is very original and is caused to please as many potential buyers as possible. And short overhangs and wide wheel arches add brutality to its rather unpretentious appearance. You can evaluate the Renault Duster, a photo of the car from all angles, as you can see, are attached to the article.

In the interior of the eye catch, in general, not for that. However, there are no special complaints: the usual instrument panel and the central console, which we know from Logan, and with the same complaints about the location of the keys of the window regulators and microclimate control knobs. But the main thing in this car is practicality. And here it is full order: comfortable seats, a spacious trunk and a full set of necessary functions. All panels, though made of inexpensive materials, but adjusted exactly and carefully. In this regard, they do not make sounds even on a serious off-road. And the only more or less striking details of the interior are the instruments with silver borders and the washer of the choice of transmission modes, the availability of which Renault Duster compares favorably with its budget classmates.

As for the possible options, "Daster" is offered in three trim levels: with 2-petrol engines, a volume of 1.6 and 2 liters, as well as a 1.5-liter diesel. The front and all-wheel drive transmission are available. All cars are equipped with 5- and 6-speed gearboxes, and for a rich version it is possible to order an automatic machine, however, only with a front-wheel drive. The choice of engine and configuration, of course, is a personal matter for everyone. In general, Renault Duster characteristics are quite acceptable for a modern buyer, which increases its popularity in the market.

Created by Renault "Duster" on the modernized platform of the time-tested Reno "Logan", which is famous for energy and reliability of the running gear. Thanks to the reinforced suspension with increased strokes, the "Duster" has these figures even higher. The all-wheel drive transmission with the Nisanovskaya pedigree, with the help of a multi-plate clutch, automatically connects the rear wheels when the front wheels slip. There is also a forced connection of the rear drive, which is useful in overcoming particularly difficult areas. Taking into account all this, as well as a serious 20-centimeter ground clearance and good geometric patency, the off-road capabilities of the Duster are limited only by the lack of bottom protection and differential locks.

Now Renault Duster can be bought in all dealer stores. The price for the standard equipment will be about 18 thousand dollars. For the top version will have to give up to 25 thousand dollars. However, you must agree, the Renault Duster characteristics fully meet its price.
