2019 Renault Duster Facelift Reviewed

 

The Renault Duster for sale received subtle cosmetic changes including a redesigned front, a fresh bonnet and new front bumpers. It also got LED DRLs and a set of projector headlamps. The front grille now has more chrome surrounds. The rear was worked on too, as it now sports new roof rails as well as black padding on the tailgate. Renault also gave the Duster a new set of alloys.

 

The interiors are now decked in a new seat fabric, while the infotainment system now features phone app connectivity. The car also received an update in its safety system, including dual front airbags, ABS, parking sensors and speed warning.

Renault did not touch the engine, however, and it continues with its 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. The 1.5-litre petrol engine makes 106 PS of maximum power and 142 Nm of peak torque. It has a five-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional CVT gearbox. The diesel engine, on the other hand, makes 110 PS of maximum power and 248 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, with an AMT gearbox as optional.

The car launched in 2019 was priced higher than the then current-gen Duster (2018) due to its cosmetic and safety upgrades.

Facelifted 2019 Renault Kwid Updates

 At the end of 2018, it was reported that the Renault Kwid would likely get a facelift and another report said that the updated model would go on sale in South Africa in October 2019.




The Renault Kwid was launched in India in September 2015 and in South Africa in November 2016. It gained a new standard safety feature - ABS. 

On the outside, the facelifted Renault Kwid price included minor design changes to the headlamps, radiator grille, front and rear bumpers and tail lamps. Inside, the overall layout and design remained the same. Changes included new fabric seats, enhancements to the instrument cluster and new trim appointments. The MediaNAV Evolution infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support replaced the MediaNAV unit. 


The engine and transmission choices remained the same. Renault may wait to upgrade the 0.8- and 1.0-litre SCe naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engines. 

In the BSIV form, the 0.8-litre engine produces 56 PS and 72 Nm of torque and the 1.0-litre engine develops 68 PS and 91 Nm of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, but there is an option for a 5-speed AMT on selecting the bigger engine.
