Second generation Renault Duster for sale. Renault Duster II - waiting for a bestseller. Changes in the appearance of the car

Presenting at the Frankfurt Motor Show a new Duster crossover under the Dacia brand, representatives of the Renault concern focused on consumer qualities. Indeed, in order to outwardly distinguish a second-generation car from the previous one, they need to be placed side by side. But the company has kept the design fundamentally: the Duster, which has sold over a million copies in seven years, is recognizable among customers and loved by them.

The second generation SUV, according to the company's promises, will remain available. Which is not surprising: the car is built on the same B0 platform and has hardly changed in size. The exact data has not yet been announced: it is known that the length of the new Duster is approximately 4.3 m (4315 mm for the first generation SUV), the width is 1.8 m (versus 1822 mm). Has not changed and ground clearance(210 mm). And the trunk volume “under the shelf” has even decreased: 445 liters for front-wheel drive versions (versus 475 liters for the current Duster) and 376 liters for all-wheel drive versions (now 408 liters).

The European range will remain the same power units: these are petrol engines 1.6 SCe (115 hp) and 1.2 TCe (125 hp), and the first can be adapted to run on liquefied gas, as well as 1.5 dCi diesels with 90 or 110 hp. To choose from - manual transmission gears or preselective EDC robot, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

But in the cabin there is a real revolution! Just imagine: the steering wheel of the new Duster, borrowed from, is adjustable not only for the angle of inclination, but also for the reach - by 50 mm! The interior upholstery and dashboard with the multimedia system screen slightly turned towards the driver and moved upward. Seats with a new frame and denser filling will offer a 20 mm longer cushion and adjustable headrests. And the equipment of the top versions will include climate control, unprecedented for Duster, all-round cameras, keyless entry, an engine start button, adjustable lumbar support for the driver's seat and a blind spot monitoring system.

However, Dusters with " full minced meat"will probably be noticeably more expensive than the current ones. How much? The company has not yet announced prices: sales of the second generation Dacia Duster crossovers will begin in Europe and Africa this coming winter. We will have to wait longer: Renault version Duster for Russia and South America will appear no earlier than 2019. External differences from European Duster Not much is expected, but the range of engines and gearboxes will change noticeably. We should expect other improvements in terms of technology. However, the need to equip the Russian Duster with new options is long overdue.

7 years have passed since the mega-popular crossover appeared on the market. Renault Duster(in Europe known as Dacia Duster). At the autumn 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the debut of the long-awaited second generation of this car took place (and already in November, official photos of the 2018 Renault Duster appeared). We can already say with confidence that new Duster will be in great demand for Russian market.

Renault Duster is compact crossover, equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the main advantages of which are affordable price, attractive appearance and good performance cross-country ability.

In Europe, the start of sales of Dacia Duster 2 will take place in the winter, but similar car with the Renault nameplate will appear only in the second half of 2018. According to preliminary data, the price of Renault Duster 2018 model year will be increased compared to . At the same time, company representatives claim that the difference will not be very significant. Most likely, the new Duster will appear in Russia in 2019.

First, official photos of the 2nd generation Renault Duster appeared on the Internet, then a show took place in Germany. The photo shows the European version of the crossover. This version of the model differs from the Renault Duster, which is sold in Asia, the Russian Federation and South America, only in the badge. Our article will help you find out as much information as possible about the new Renault Duster. We will talk about what technical characteristics and improvements in appearance and interior the new product received.

Appearance hasn't changed much

While looking at the photo of the crossover, one gets the impression that this is not a new generation of Duster, but another facelift version. But the developers are positioning the new product exactly as Renault Duster 2, and you can’t argue with them.

The car received new body panels, as well as bumpers and a false radiator grille. The front lighting has also undergone changes, in the lower part of which there are nice LED daytime running lights (they are now included in the basic equipment of the car). New rear optics and exterior mirror housings attract attention. New aluminum roof rails appeared on the roof of the crossover. Everything is quite harmonious and beautifully combined with the overall design of the car.

The front fenders received black plastic linings, on which there is a 4WD nameplate and a turn signal repeater. New Renault The 2018 Duster is equipped with a beautiful sculpted hood and a completely different cargo compartment door. Look great and rims new design (rollers with a diameter of 17″ are available for an additional fee).

The exterior remained easily recognizable, but many elements were developed from scratch. That is, changes still happened, this is really not restyling. It is also reported that windshield moved closer to the front by 100 mm, resulting in additional space in the cabin.

On at the moment overall dimensions Renault Duster 2017-2018 remains unknown, but there is information that the crossover will be about 4300 mm long and 1800 mm wide. The ground clearance of the new Renault Duster is 210 mm.

Brand new salon

The “second” Duster has an interior designed from scratch, and it really deserves your attention! The front panel meets all modern requirements; it has a Start/Stop button. They decided to move the multimedia system screen to the top of the console, which was what many were waiting for. New work controls have appeared air conditioning system and various systems. The quality of finishing materials has not improved significantly, although the developers claim the opposite. The manufacturer also announces the availability of new seats.

Off-road performance and trunk volume

As mentioned above, road clearance Renault Duster 2 reaches 21 cm, departure and approach angles are 33° and 30°, respectively (very good!). The all-wheel drive is equipped with a multi-plate clutch, just like the previously available version of the crossover. At the same time, the 2017-2018 Renault Duster is equipped with electronic assistants that help control the car on descents and ascents.

Now, for an additional fee, the manufacturer offers previously unavailable functions. For example, buyers will be able to choose options such as climate control, a blind spot monitoring system, a 360° viewing system, tire pressure sensors, a keyless entry system and push-button engine start, a light sensor, etc.

The car's practicality has suffered slightly - the Duster's cargo compartment volume is 376 and 445 liters in versions with all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, respectively. This figure can be easily increased by folding the back of the second row.

Engine range and technical specifications

The second generation of Renault Duster is built on the basis of an updated version of the B0 trolley. The engine has a transverse arrangement; the front uses an independent MacPherson suspension with stabilizer lateral stability and springs. But rear suspension depends on the drive used: all-wheel drive crossovers received a “multi-link”, and modifications with front-wheel drive received a semi-independent torsion beam. Note that the front brakes are disc, and conventional drum mechanisms are installed at the rear.

Technical Renault specifications Duster (Renault Duster) 2017-2018 involves the use of several power units that have already been used by the manufacturer. They are paired with a six-speed manual transmission or robotic transmission with two clutches.

2. The diesel range of engines is represented by 1.5-liter turbocharged dCi engines, which develop from 90 to 110 hp. with maximum thrust in the range of 200-240 Nm.

Prices and Renault configuration Duster 2017-2018 remain unknown for now. But the presence of various technical innovations will definitely affect the price of the crossover, and obviously not to the lesser extent.

As soon as official information appears about how much this car will cost in Russia, we will publish it. Stay tuned!

Renault Duster – front or all-wheel drive crossover compact segment and one of the most affordable “European SUVs” on the market, which boasts a neat design, reliable technical components and a good level of equipment... Main target audience car - people with average incomes who value practicality, versatility and their own money...

The second generation five-door made its debut during an online presentation on November 14, 2017 - compared to the previous model, it not only became “less budget”, but also received a more attractive exterior design, a completely redesigned (this applies to both design and quality) interior, modernized technical “stuffing” and an expanded list of equipment.

From the outside, the “second” Renault Duster has a completely recognizable appearance, but at the same time it looks attractive, fresh and balanced.

The front of the car is especially good - beautiful optics with LED inserts running lights, a “family” radiator grille with chrome bars and a massive bumper with a protective trim at the bottom.

But from other angles, the crossover cannot be accused of “lack of taste” - an athletic silhouette with pronounced “muscles” of rounded square wheel arches and a soaring line of the window sill, and a strong rear with spectacular lights, a large trunk lid and a neat bumper.

The second incarnation of the Duster is representative of the compact SUV community: it extends 4340 mm in length, of which 2674 mm is between the wheelsets, and the width does not exceed 1800 mm. The ground clearance of the five-door is 210 mm.

The “gallery” folds into a pair of asymmetric sections, thanks to which the capacity of the “hold” reaches 1623 liters.

For “4x4” versions, the full-size spare wheel is located in a niche under the raised floor, and for single-wheel drive versions, it is located under the bottom.

For the second generation Renault Duster, there are several power units to choose from:

• The basic version is a naturally-aspirated SCe four with a displacement of 1.6 liters with an in-line configuration, distributed injection and a 16-valve timing architecture, which generates 115 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 156 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
• Under the hood of the “top” versions there is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with a vertical arrangement of “pots”, 16 valves, a multi-point “power supply” system and variable valve timing, developing 145 hp. at 5750 rpm and 195 Nm of peak thrust at 4000 rpm.

  • 90 horsepower at 3750 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm;
  • 110 hp at 4000 rpm and 240 Nm at 1750 rpm.

The 115-horsepower unit is powered by a six-gear manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission, as well as front-wheel drive or automatically started all-wheel drive with a multi-disc clutch that directs up to 50% of the thrust to the engine if necessary. rear wheels. Most powerful engine It is installed jointly with a 6-range automatic transmission and a 4x4 transmission, but diesel engines are mated with the same manual gearbox or with a 6-speed preselective EDC robot, as well as with both types of drive.

The Renault Duster of the second incarnation is based on the budget “B0” platform, which implies a transverse placement of the power plant and an independent MacPherson-type front suspension with transverse stabilizer and hydraulic shock absorbers.

On rear axle front wheel drive cars a semi-independent design with a torsion beam is used, and all-wheel drive vehicles have an independent “multi-link”.

The crossover has ventilated disc brakes at the front, and drum brakes at the rear (complemented with ABS and EBD as standard). The five-door rack and pinion steering complex is “implanted” electric amplifier management.

The “second” Renault Duster will appear on the Russian market no earlier than 2019, and most likely with certain features (adaptation), but in Africa its sales will begin at the end of 2017 or at the very beginning of 2018.

The cost of the new product will increase slightly, for example, in Egypt the “second Duster” will be offered at a price of ~330,000 EGP. The car will receive a wide range of equipment: front and side airbags and curtain airbags, climate control, ABS, ESP, EBD, panoramic cameras, engine start with a button, light and rain sensors, multimedia complex, monitoring of blind spots, rims with diameter up to 17 inches and other equipment.

The new product will be assembled in two versions - for the European market and for other countries, which include India, as well as Brazil, including Russia. The main difference between these models is that different platforms will be used during assembly. Specifically in the Russian Federation, Duster on the B0 platform will be supplied to car dealerships. The first photos and video materials regarding the new generation of the popular Renault Duster 2018 car are already appearing on the Internet.

Previous models

At first the car was offered only for the European market under the Dacia brand (a subsidiary owned by Renault), but after some time a version was created for Russia, Brazil, India and Colombia. In 2013, Renault updated the Duster and made some improvements. After this, the car gained great popularity and in 2014 the number of cars produced exceeded one million.

The new generation has been restyled. The changes affected not only the exterior - the interior was modified and additional options were introduced.

Story

At the end of 2018, many Russian car enthusiasts are waiting for the launch of a new generation of the beloved Duster, a crossover presented in Russia under the Renault brand, on the market in our country.

Duster was first presented back in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show and Europe. this car released under the Romanian brand Dacia. Duster is a compact crossover on the Nissan B0 platform; by the way, the system was also borrowed from Nissan. all-wheel drive Nissan All Mode 4x4-i, used in cars such as X-Trail, and Koleos.

Inside, the first generation Duster was an adherent of utilitarian and even Spartan design, which also affected appearance interior and on the finishing materials used. But, nevertheless, this car has received a lot of positive feedback from grateful customers. Still, in terms of price-quality ratio, and by quality we mean its cross-country ability and reliability, not many cars in this class can compete with it.

In September 2013, a restyled version of the Duster was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which became noticeably prettier than its predecessor on the outside and a little less beautiful on the inside. On the outside, the car acquired slightly different front and rear optics, refreshed body elements, a multimedia system and small decorative innovations appeared in the car’s interior. By 2014, Renault released total one million of these cars.

New round

The second generation Duster was presented in 2017 at the same Frankfurt Motor Show, the car began to look more interesting, while the signature “Duster” style was preserved. According to Renault engineers, the second model does not contain a single part from the first generation.

Since the platform remains the same, there are no visible changes in size. The length is 4,350 mm, the width is 1,840 mm, the height is 1,690 mm, and the ground clearance is 210 mm. The car now has different optics - headlights with LED inserts and tail lights, have little in common with the Jeep Renegade, which only benefits Duster. The body features and door ovals are completely different, and the rear window has become smaller and this gives the appearance of a sort of well-built athlete.

There are also a lot of changes inside. First of all, the engineers completely revised the entire “torpedo” and now it is not such a utilitarian car as it was, but quite a decent “foreign car”; here there is a different steering wheel, it is now the same as on many Renault brand models, with a corporate emblem and control buttons on it . What was pleasantly pleasing is that the steering wheel is now adjustable in two positions, unlike previous version cars.

In the middle between the front seats there is a climate control console with a rather interesting design, the set of buttons of which is located at the top. More expensive versions provide climate control with a display, which is built into the control “washers”: air flow speed, temperature and blowing mode - all this looks great and will not fail to appeal to potential buyers of the model. The quality of the plastic has also improved, although it is far from ideal. The engineers also worked with sound insulation, the car became quieter than its predecessor.

The front seat cushions have become larger, the seat backs are more comfortable, but the rear sofa remains the same as it was in previous model- a simple flat sofa, but three people can sit on it.

Is the game worth the candle?

Unfortunately, while we do not know Russian prices for the second generation of Duster, there is an opinion that the initial configuration of the car will cost only 50 thousand more than the previous model. Well, we don’t have long to wait for specifics.

Of course, the Duster, beloved by many, is considered, perhaps, in its class the best car of those that can be bought for 1 million rubles. It can really drive off-road - the Duster can compete with larger crossovers and even SUVs, while being quite comfortable and remaining a cheap car, except that it can become more attractive externally and internally, while retaining all its strong qualities. Which, in our opinion, is what Renault engineers achieved.
