Renault Lets Loose The New Duster

Renault Lets Loose The New Duster

I recently attended the glamorous launch of the latest Renault Duster, that just landed in Cape Town.

Already a very popular model with the South African motorist, the new Duster has been crammed with tech, safety, luxury and sporting even more efficient engines and gearboxes.

We put the Duster to the test with some gruelling dust roads around the wine farms of the Western Cape. No time to stop and sample the subtle aromas, the Duster was quite at home on the bumpy dirt road. However when we took the Duster to the soft white sands of Atlantis dunes, the Duster really came to life.

With its stylish new body, high tech drive modes and economical consumption levels, the robust and practical new Renault Duster is going to be winning even more of the hearts and minds of South African motorists.

We tested the new 1.2 litre turbo charged Mild-Hybrid and I had such fun in the soft white sands of Atlantis. The Duster gave me a lot of confidence, all the tech supported the conditions and I can't wait to take this car for a proper road test in the near future.
