Renault Duster SUV

Renault South Africa will be hitting the high road this September with the addition of the 'all terrainer' Renault Duster sports utility vehicle (SUV) to its South African arsenal. This follows hot on the heels of the highly successful launch of the New Renault Clio 4 in April of this year, sales of which have surpassed all expectations.

Renault Duster is a major contributor to the expansion of the Renault brand outside Europe. The model has supported steady increase of Renault sales in India, Russia and Brazil, its first markets globally. Renault Duster will be launched in South Africa on 16th September and the South African motoring public are sure to be blown away by this sturdy yet stylish SUV's multiple, standard features - and its affordable price tag!

At R194 900 for the base model Renault Duster 1.6 Expression 4x2 which comes with a high level of specifications as standard, this represents phenomenal value-for-money in anyone's language. Standard features include air conditioning, ABS with EBD, power-assisted steering, six-function on-board computer, front and side airbags, electric windows front and rear, electric mirrors, remote central locking, reverse parking sensors, front fog lamps, roof rails, body-coloured door handles and mirrors, 16 inch wheels, CD/MP3/radio with Bluetooth¨ connectivity, fingertip audio controls and more, all of which will make it an extremely competitive offering in its segment and in the SUV market.

The Renault Duster 1.6 Expression 4x2 has been designed for those individuals wanting good ground clearance, an elevated driving position for better visibility as well as good off-road handling. The massive class leading 475 litres boot capacity makes the Renault Duster the perfect family car, all of this powered by a naturally aspirated 75kW 1.6 engine with a peak torque of 145Nm to complement the size of the vehicle. The Renault Duster line-up will also include a 4x4 offer and a diesel engine.
