The company Avtoframos, collecting cars in Moscow, Renault, started producing crossover Duster. This machine is built on the same platform as B0, which combines models Logan and Sandero, but the novelty is much larger in size, has a more extensive equipment and, of course, all-wheel drive. The main news of the Russian steel prices on the car - from 449,000 to 681,000 rubles. That is, lower assembly Duster directly compete with the Chevrolet Niva.
Before us is another model of Renault, designed to be "popular" in countries with no very high standard of living. The car is already being produced in Romania and Brazil, and in 2012 will establish a production in Colombia and India. Since the start of production in the spring of 2010 the world has already sold 200,000 Duster, and in Argentina, new car of the year even began.
All-terrain potential is quite good Duster: clearance of 21 centimeters, a decent geometric cross (the angle of entry - 30 degrees, the angle of rolling - 23 degrees, departure angle - 36 degrees), well, and most importantly - all-wheel drive transmission is the same as the Nissan X-Trail . It has three modes: front-wheel drive, automatic connection of the rear axle by means of a friction clutch, and push the lock connects clutch (operates at speeds up to 80 km / h). Like the overwhelming majority of crossovers, there is no "ponizhayki," but six-step "mechanics" different "short" first gear - partly a solution for the lack of low range. The body has a protective "armor" around the bottom perimeter. Unfortunately, regular tires Amtel Cruise 4x4, of course, leave much to be desired. But do not be surprised if over time, let us meet on the road Duster with more aggressive tires AT-class - the characteristics of the machine it is to have to put the tires "pozubastee."
At the time of the launch of the Russian localization of production rate - exactly half of the parts. The share of domestic components in the Sandero and Logan in this year was 60 percent. In 2012, the pair of models will be released for the planned maximum of 74 percent, and Duster will reach this figure in 2013 (in 2012 the percentage will rise to the localization of 65).
Now in Russia to produce both Duster bumper, front and tail lights, wiring, batteries, wheels, pedals, dashboard, interior door panels and headliner, seats, door locks, mirrors, glass, various gaskets, seals and other parts of the rubber, fuel tank, exhaust system and some other components.
Duster for the Russian market is a little different from the European versions externally and constructively. The most notable innovation in the form - a more solid and substantial grille, consisting of a horizontal chrome strips. The interior is decorated richer than Europeans in cars: it concerns the materials upholstery, chrome trim elements front and a completely new instrument panel, as well as "dvuhdinovoy" Audio with support for MP3, USB-input, Bluetooth joystick and paddle control.
Deputy General Director of Renault in Russia Denis Levot reported that the Russian Duster is positioned as a more comfortable and upscale car than the European version of the utilitarian

Also, the Russian Duster differences include the increased capacity of the battery and the generator of high power, 5-liter tank, windshield washer, an extended zone of clearing the windshield, frost-performance liquid improved cabin heating and other calibration "brains" of engines in accordance with the peculiarities of our climate and quality of fuel .
Russian buyers will certainly appreciate the fact that the engine crankcase, transmission and fuel line are protected from sheet steel
For a minimum price - 449 rubles - the buyer gets 102-hp gasoline engine (1.6 liters), front-wheel drive and the "mechanics." Extra charge for all-wheel drive -50 000 rubles. If you want a 2-liter engine that develops 135 forces, you have to choose: either "automatic" and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive with the "mechanics". The first option is 566,000, while the second - 582. 1.5-liter 90-horsepower diesel engine yet offered only with four-wheel drive and manual transmission at a price of 607,000 rubles. Diesel engines, combined with the "nedoprivodom" will not, but the automatic transmission will be for them, but soon - in early 2013.
