New Renault Duster – Reimagined and ready for adventure

First launched globally in 2010, with a major update in 2017, the Renault Duster has consistently redefined the SUV landscape.

The Duster’s success speaks for itself, with approximately 1,000 Duster SUVs rolling off the production line daily at Renault’s Pitesti plant in Romania and over 2.2 million units sold worldwide.

This demand is a testament to the Duster’s consistent popularity.

The new Renault Duster represents the next chapter in the story of a model that has become a true Renault icon. It embodies everything the Duster brand stands for: Robust, Practical and Eco-Savvy.

The 3rd-generation Renault Duster is a major overhaul of the popular SUV.

Built on the CMF-8 platform, it features modernized styling, enhanced technology, and more efficient powertrains – all while maintaining the Duster’s rugged appeal.

The 3rd-generation Duster continues the legacy of this best-seller.

Its key improvements include:

A bolder, more assertive design

  • More muscular and modern design, with a tough stance
  • Signature Y-shaped LED headlights and taillights
  • Larger grille with the prominent new Renault logo
  • Chunky cladding and skid plates for off-road appeal
  • Modular roof bars with a load capacity of 70kg (6MT 4WD)

An enhanced interior experience

  • More spacious cabin and practical interior with improved ergonomics
  • 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen system with Renault’s latest User Interface
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • YouClip 3-in-1 system, an innovative modular accessory attachment system designed to enhance practicality and convenience inside the cabin

Introduction of a mild-hybrid powertrain

  • Offered on the 4WD derivative
  • A 1.2L turbocharged petrol mild hybrid with improved fuel efficiency
  • Class-leading approach and departure angles on the 4WD

Safety at the core

  • Improved chassis rigidity for better safety
  • Features include: 6 airbags (Driver, Passenger, Side & Curtain), Blind Spot Detection, Tyre Pressure Detector, Electric Parking Brake (EPB), and paddle shift levers on the steering wheel
  • A hands-free Keycard for a more convenient and seamless way to access and start the vehicle (Intens EDC 4×2)

Unrivalled value for money

The new Duster continues Renault’s commitment to value, combining affordability with a spacious, feature-rich interior.

It also offers advanced technology and an aesthetically pleasing, rugged, and more refined exterior.

The model range consists of three derivatives, starting from R489,999.
