The LCV With A Luxury Cabin – Renault Duster Commercial

The Renault Duster range get a LCV

We have spoken before of the Renault Duster’s ability to carry a full-sized double base flat. If you have never had to transport such an instrument, this may not mean much to you, so let me explain. You can, with sufficient Tetris skills, load a base into a small hatch like a Getz, but it will sit tight in the right back corner right up to the front left against the windscreen, and you will only have two seats to use. The Duster can take the base, a cello and a tuba, with seats for the three musicians and the driver. Important that.

The flagship Renault Koleos range has been revised, with the all-wheel-drive version dropped. South African drivers can now choose between the Expression and the Dynamique, with just under R50k difference in price.

It is a conundrum, but a nice one to have to deal with. We are talking about comparing the brand new, just launched Renault Kiger with the also quite new, recently launched Nissan Magnite. We know a little more about the Magnite than the Kiger, simply because it has been around a few months and we have seen the actual cars at the school drop-off and they are really nice. As someone whose most recent cars were a Nissan (X-Trail) and a Renault (Duster), this writer does not have a preference – both great cars.

The Renault Duster Is The SUV You Need

SUVs are nice. Everybody wants an SUV. Everybody buys an SUV. But jeez, they are expensive! Okay, some are cheaper, but with cheap, nasty is usually not far behind. Jumped up hatchbacks with a couple of decals. You also get the OTT models with a million bits and bobs that cost the same as a farm in Clifton. There are some SUVs that are proper SUVs, drives like an SUV should, full of luxury and safety features, but at a decent price. The leader of this group, the best value for money, is the Renault Duster. Twenty-one thousand buyers cannot all be wrong.

The New Renault Trafic Combi

My father had an old Kombi, so old it had a split windscreen and the indicators were metal stalks that popped out of the side, behind the front doors. I think it had a 1300 air-cooled engine, so the thing was slow and very noisy. And very spacious. Our family of five went everywhere – slowly – in that bus. There was no: “Are we there yet,” whining, as each kid had his own corner to play in, with an extra one for spare toys.
