Renault Duster third generation

The third-generation Renault Duster is the first to use the modern CMF-B platform — the same one underpinning the Renault Clio and Captur. That is a fundamental change: earlier Dusters ran on a much older architecture.

Dimensions and practicality

The body measures 4343 mm long, 1829 mm wide and 1660 mm tall on a 2657 mm wheelbase. Boot space grows to 472 litres, 6% more than before. The design is noticeably tougher, with squared-off surfaces and protective trim made from recycled Starkle plastic.

Engines

Three powertrains are offered in Ukraine: a 115 hp 1.5 diesel with a six-speed manual, a 150 hp 1.3 TCe petrol with a seven-speed EDC dual-clutch, and a 130 hp 1.2 TCe with 48 V mild-hybrid assistance — the only all-wheel-drive option.

Equipment

Evolution and Techno trims get a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, cruise control and light and rain sensors. The all-wheel-drive version adds a terrain mode selector with dedicated off-road settings.
