Flagship gets a raft of new tech
Ten years after its original release in 2009, the popular Duster has sold over a million units and gets its first major refresh since its introduction. The new looks were revealed in October last year, and now Renault has unveiled its flagship new (and only) 4WD version, the 1.5dCi Dynamique. In line with the updates, both the interior and exterior have been updated substantially, while the 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine from the Nissan stable remains.
Featuring the same compact dimensions as before, the Duster features a more muscular appearance with the front fascia appearing wider thanks to horizontal lines across the grille and lights. Prominent front and rear skid plates show off the Duster’s off-road credentials while the fresh new 17-inch wheels follow trends in the industry toward sensible lower-profile tyres.
