Renault Daster: owner feedback

Creating a "Renault Duster"

Three years ago the French concern "Renault" set a goal - to create a budget SUV. As a result, a crossover turned out, which was beyond competition for its pricing policy. This novelty was aimed at those customers who did not have the opportunity to buy jeeps with all sorts of "bells and whistles." About the car "Renault Daster" reviews of owners were only positive.

In 2010, mass production started. The machine was actively supplied to many European countries, including the CIS. As the developers expected, the budget model did have a successful commercial move. And really, those who dreamed of traveling on a new jeep now have a real opportunity to realize the dream thanks to the "Renault Daster". The characteristics of the crossover were on par with other expensive models.

But how did Renault manage to create an SUV, which in its technical characteristics did not differ from its competitors, at the same time it cost several times cheaper? The answer is very simple - the company managed to save a lot on the development of the model. Thus, the novelty has some similarities with Nissan (all-wheel drive platform) and Logan's dacha (exterior, interior and much more).

Exterior of the car

The exterior design of the crossover was quite successful for a budget car. Against the backdrop of massive off-road cars, it looks pretty decent. Of course, in the design there are still elements of budget, but from this you can not get away - for this purpose it was developed. The dimensions of the novelty remind a little of the dimensions of Logan: length - 4.31 m, width - 1.82 m, height - 1.62 m.

"Daster" - reviews about the interior

Nothing bad and nothing good about the interior can not be said - all the details are very simple, but also quite qualitatively. Textured plastic is the main component of finishing materials. The location of the measuring instruments and their design has been copied with precision from the Romanian Daci Logan. Style and layout of the interior also have similarities - the front is spacious, and the back is narrow. "Renault Daster" - reviews about the salon once again speak about the budget of the car. Sound insulation is not worked out - in the city, the sound of the motor is almost not audible, but on the rugged terrain the rustle and vibration noticeably increase. Buyers of the French off-road car can choose one of three variants of engines: 2 petrol and 1 diesel. The color scheme is also great - future owners can buy a Renault Duster color of wet asphalt (which is the most popular in Europe), orange and many others.

Finally

The basic equipment of the jeep is very poor - there is only a power steering. It should be noted that the volume of the luggage compartment in it is very large - 475 liters. It can also be increased 3 times, folding the rear row of passenger seats. But it should be taken into account that there will be no flat ground.

The main feature and main advantage of the novelty in front of competitors is low fuel consumption. In the city it is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, on the motorway 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers. "Renault Daster" - reviews and specifications speak for themselves!
