Renault-Duster
The wait is finally over! Renault has confirmed the arrival of the all-new third-generation Duster in South Africa in March 2025. As a dealership deeply rooted in the Renault legacy, we couldn’t be more thrilled to share this exciting news. Whether you’re an adventurer, a city commuter, or just someone who appreciates cutting-edge design and innovation, the new Duster is set to impress. Let’s dive into what makes this SUV a standout.
A Bold New Era For The Duster
Renault’s third-generation Duster represents a significant leap forward in both style and substance. Built on the brand’s innovative CMF-B platform, this iteration embraces a sleek and modern design while staying true to the rugged spirit that South Africans love. From its increased width and height to its refined yet muscular exterior, the new Duster strikes the perfect balance between urban sophistication and off-road prowess.
With its upgraded 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine, the Duster says goodbye to the diesel option of its predecessor. Offering a mild-hybrid system, this engine is not only more efficient but promises punchy performance with an anticipated 95kW and 230Nm of torque. Whether you’re cruising the highways of Gauteng or tackling the steep inclines of Mpumalanga, the Duster’s powertrain is built to deliver.
Designed For Majestic Mzansi Adventures
The new Duster is not just an SUV; it’s your ultimate travel companion. Picture this: you’re driving through the dramatic landscapes of the Drakensberg, with its winding roads and majestic views. The Duster’s high ground clearance (up to 217mm in the 4WD variant) and improved approach angle ensure you can navigate uneven terrain with ease.
For those who prefer beachside escapes, think of the long, sandy tracks of the Wild Coast. With its robust suspension and braked towing capacity of 1,500kg, you can bring along your camping gear or even a small boat for a truly memorable getaway. And let’s not forget the Karoo’s vast open roads, where the Duster’s smooth ride and advanced infotainment system turn long drives into pure enjoyment.
Comfort Meets Cutting-Edge Tech
Step inside the cabin, and you’ll immediately notice the blend of luxury and practicality. The 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes centre stage, seamlessly connecting to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s ideal for navigating Cape Town’s bustling streets or catching up on your favourite playlists as you head towards the Garden Route.
The digital driver’s display provides all the essential information at a glance, ensuring you stay focused on the road ahead. Coupled with a multifunction steering wheel, every aspect of the Duster’s interior is designed to enhance the driving experience. Whether you’re on a quick school run or a cross-country road trip, the spacious cabin ensures comfort for all passengers.
Why The New Duster Is A Game-Changer
Renault has taken everything South Africans loved about the Duster and elevated it to a whole new level. The blend of front-wheel and four-wheel-drive options caters to a variety of driving needs. Whether you’re navigating urban streets or tackling rugged trails, there’s a Duster for everyone.
The SUV’s practicality extends to its dimensions, which offer more height and width without compromising agility. It’s the perfect size for manoeuvring through tight city spaces while still commanding presence on open roads. And with its impressive towing capacity, it’s ready to haul your toys, be it bikes for a family adventure in the Cape Winelands or a trailer for your outdoor gear.
