Renault
Duster Dakar Edition
This
November, Renault is announcing the launch of a special edition Renault Duster
Dakar for the Brazilian market. While it may not perform as aggressively as the
actual Renault Duster Dakar rally SUV, it features exclusive touches that pay
homage to the gruesome Dakar Rally.
For
instance, the front door has a sticker of the Dakar Rally logo, while the lower
portion of the two doors has a long sticker that depict the Dakar Rally map. It
rides on 16 ” diamond cut alloy wheels with black glossy finish, and has black
plastic bumper extensions. The only colors available for the Dakar edition are
white neige, silver étoile, nacre black and brown safari.
Based
on the Dynamique variant, the interior is equipped with parking sensors,
electric mirrors, 7-inch MEDIANAV touchscreen featuring GPS with traffic
information in real time for some cities, Eco Coaching and Eco Scoring (for
assessing fuel consumption), audio sytem with 4 speakers, aux and USB input,
and Bluetooth connectivity.
Engine
options include 1.6- and 2.0-liter flex-fuel engines paired to manual and
automatic transmissions. The top-end 2.0-liter variant gets a 4WD system as
well.
