Renault managers will have to try to buy the new product in Russia.
The second generation Renault Duster will “give up” even before LADA Niva Travel, which was booed on the Web because of the “old” engine, and will raise sales of Hyundai Creta. The opinion of motorists on the Drom resource is shared by the editorial staff of the Pokatim portal.
“Drome” reported a high probability that the “Russian” Duster II will lose a 1.5-liter “diesel”, as well as a 2.0-liter gasoline engine. The aggregate range will be made up of the already well-known and, in the opinion of motorists, “not pulling” 1.6 l 114 hp engine. sec., as well as a 1.33 liter turbo engine paired with a variator or 5- and 6-speed “mechanics”.
The French, apparently, pursued the goal of maximum unification and cheapening of production with a simultaneous rise in product prices. That is why they offered virtually the same thing, but under different “sauces” – Arkana, Kaptur, and now Duster. Europe refuses “diesels”, but there is no point in a 2.0-liter “aspirated”, they believe in Renault, since its power is “overridden” by a 150-horsepower “turbo”.
Despite the fact that diesel Dasters were not the sales leaders, they found their audience. Statistics call an average of 20% in the total sales of the model.
Russian motorists say that they are actually deprived of a choice, and they make a typical city car out of the “crook”, which differs from the “SUVs” of Arkana and Kaptur only in the body:
“Although there are not so many fans of the diesel engine, it should be in the range.”
If you need a cross for the city, then they will not pay attention to the brutal “Duster”. Neither women nor “real men” will need Duster II:
“Who needs it without diesel and 2.0? Another pointless chaise without a clear target audience ”,“ Renault managers will have to strain to sell it ”,“ Installing a turbo engine and CVT will greatly reduce demand. The target audience for this car is never women or city dudes. “
Failure is assured, the public believes. Even LADA Niva Travel will sell better, as a much cheaper car with its own units, suitable for rough terrain and loads.

In an effort to “outplay everyone”, Renault runs the risk of clearing the market with its own hands for competitors – LADA Niva and Hyundai Creta, which will keep the 2.0-liter “atmosphere” without “any variators”, they are sure on the Web.
