An updated version of the Renault Duster has arrived in South Africa boasting a few choice equipment and slight styling upgrades. One thing it thankfully doesn’t gain, however, is a price bump.
Yes, with more than 10 000 units sold locally since the launch in late 2013, the latest version of this rugged little SUV is being offered at the same price as the outgoing model.
The four-derivative local range remains unchanged, but all models now feature new headlamps and tail-lights, a drive-away locking system, an updated centre console and new fabric on the seats and door panels. Additional colour choices have also been added to the palette.
Fresh black alloy wheels are furthermore on offer, while Dynamique models now feature a rear camera as standard. Expression variants, meanwhile, gain electric rear windows as standard.
The two powerplants – a 77 kW 1,6-litre petrol engine and an 80 kW 1,5 turbodiesel mill – carry over unchanged. As does the pricing, which you can view below.
