The new product was shown in several official photographs: it differs from the previously presented Dacia Duster only in logos – a large RENAULT inscription appeared between the head optics, and a diamond-shaped emblem appeared on the tailgate. The announcement is accompanied by information that in Turkey the “third” Renault Duster will be offered in a hybrid version.
Renault Duster has Y-shaped rear lights, a new design of the trunk door with stamping, black decorative trims behind the front arches with slots and a narrow radiator grille with integrated optics in the form of the same Y, and the rear door handles are placed on pillars – all that which we have already seen in a similar Dacia model. The interior has not yet been shown, but it can be assumed that the differences there will also be limited to replacing the emblem on the steering wheel.

Europeans will be offered the new Duster with a 1.2-liter petrol turbo engine (130 horsepower), a 48-volt starter-generator, a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The Duster Eco-G 100 modification will receive a 1.0 bi-fuel three-cylinder turbo engine (gasoline and propane; 100 horsepower) and also a manual gearbox. The top version will be the gasoline-electric Duster Hybrid 140 with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor, which develop a total of 140 horsepower.
The Duster model has been on the market for 13 years, and during this time it has sold 2.2 million units. Every day, the Romanian Dacia factory produces about a thousand Dusters – about one every minute. An assembly site in Turkey will soon join it.
But in Russia, the once popular crossover is no longer produced, since Renault in the spring of 2022 decided to leave our market and curtail car production. The plant in Moscow, which previously assembled Dusters, switched to Moskviches.
