Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
I’m writing a book. Like every author before me, I think the world is just waiting to hear my amusing short stories entitled “The Wrong Car”. These detail the many memorable trips I’ve made with cars which were way out of their comfort zone… which happily doesn’t apply to my recent excursion to southern Namibia with this 4WD Duster.
New Duster here to upset market.
Launched in October 2018, the 2WD Renault Duster saw a completely new version of the first iconic Duster generation (2012). We already had the chance to test this and quite liked the small SUV. Now, Renault has just launched the new 4WD version, capable of taking on the roads less traveled.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Renault lent us their (current) top-of-the-line Duster to showcase the many improvements its recent update brought about.
The Renault Megane is a natural competitor to the evergreen Volkswagen Golf GTi. We tell you if it’s a viable alternative.
Renault is a strange old brand. It started just a few months shy of the year 1900 and has always danced to its own tune. They’re reasonably big on motorsport but never bothered much with luxury cars. At some point they aced all EuroNCAP crash tests but still focused on affordable transport for the masses; like this Sandero Stepway.
Similar to the Renault Sandero Stepway, the Renault Duster has been one of the flagship models for the French brand during the last seven years. The public grew well fond of the small and quirky 4×4 and now Renault has improved on the previous model with a new successor.
Ons lewe tans in ‘n wêreld met daaglikse tegnologiese innovasies. ‘n Aspek wat veral bydra tot die motor industrie. Jaarliks, maandeliks en selfs daagliks, is daar nuwe innovasies waarmee voertuie veiliger, meer pret, ruimer en meer tegnologies gevorderd ontwerp kan word … en dan is daar die Renault Kwid AMT 1.0 Dynamic.
This text was supposed to be a sprint (short) review but the car in question got me so worked up that my rants exploded into a full review. So. Here goes.
Indien jy pas die splinternuwe Renault Kwid aangekoop het, sal ons jou sterk aanraai om nie hierdie artikel verder te lees nie.
Die Kwid het op ons voorstoep verskyn, nes ons die vorige week ‘n soortgelyke en ewe bekostigbare voertuig getoets het. Ons was aangenaam verras met die motor, siende dat selfs prys daar nie eers die kwaliteit van die voertuig kon beïnvloed nie. Die Kwid het egter ‘n ander prentjie geverf.
Die opgedateerde 2017 Captur mag dalk vir baie vreemd lyk, ietwat soos ‘n skilpad wat besluit het om vir ‘n Donald Trump “spray tan” te gaan. Gedurende ons week met die Captur, was die konsensus egter die omgekeerde en het talle persone gesoek na ‘n foto, of slegs net ‘n binne toer van die voertuig. Die Captur is presies waarna die naam verwys, ‘n voertuig wat individue se harte steel met die eerste oogopslag.
