Picking SUV

All technical fluid and the devices can operate at low temperatures, washer fluid it comes with a five-liter tank, also have a higher capacity battery in 70A*h and the generator increased power, increased area of cleaning the windshield, using special modes of heating the passenger compartment and the changed setting of the injection system.

Advantages of diesel engines

European car manufacturers are increasingly installing power units on diesel fuel. Particularly often they are used on crossovers and SUVs.

The Diesel before the petrol engines have some significant advantages, the main of which – efficiency and high torque.

Modern engines are of this type consume almost a third less fuel than their gasoline counterparts. Diesel fuel is also cheaper than gasoline.

One more unquestionable advantage of such a unit, particularly in terms of reducing harmful emissions – low level of education of carbon dioxide.

A significant drawback, at least for the Russian buyer, is the higher price of the car. For example, “Renault Duster"-diesel price is higher by 65 thousand rubles than gasoline in the same basic configuration.

In addition, such engines require more frequent maintenance. In any case, in Russia the requirements are as follows. Because diesel fuel contains more impurities, clogging fuel filters.

Domestic fuel is lower quality than the European, so the fuel costs need to take into account special additives that do not allow it to freeze at low temperatures, or to fill the car only high quality fuel.

Diesel power plant

“Renault Duster”, and twelve other Renault models, equipped with engine K9K 1.5 dCi. This power unit is known for its endurance, efficiency and reliability for more than ten years.

The four-cylinder Engine with 8 valves and timing belt, with a modern power supply system Common Rail. It is economical, the manufacturer declared fuel consumption on the highway 5.0 l in the city – 5,9 l, combined cycle – the 5.3 L.

Even at low revs – 1750 rpm – the engine produces big torque of 200 Nm.

Maximum torque – 4000 rpm, power & ndash; 90 HP

Use only a six-speed manual transmission, automatic is not installed on all-wheel drive version «Renault Duster" (diesel).

Specifications "Renault Duster"

All-wheel drive version of the car has large ground clearance – 210 mm, but smaller boot capacity – 408 /1570 l, monoprivodnom than its counterpart.duster diesel price

Overall dimensions (L×W×C) – 4,3 × 1,8 × 1,7 m. Curb weight – little more than 1.3 t, full – a 1.8 T.

The six-speed gearbox first used for heavy off-road conditions decreased. That is, when traveling on clean and dry pavement you need to start immediately with the second gear.

All-wheel drive “Renault Duster” can work in three modes.

The first torque is transmitted to the front wheels. In this mode (2WD) you can accelerate to maximumspeed at low fuel consumption.

When the front wheels are slipping, automatically 50% of the torque being transferred to the rear axle. It the AUTO mode.

The LOCK firmly locks electromagnetic coupler, rotate both axes. This is intended for off-road mode consumes the maximum amount of fuel, and the speed should be no more than 80 km/h, otherwise the transmission will overheat so much that the clutch can fail.

Problems with the sales of the diesel version

Yes, despite the many merits of all-wheel drive SUV «Renault Duster 1.5" (diesel), bought it Russian drivers are reluctant to.

Based on the fact that the version of crossover that has an engine on heavy fuel, has good traction at low speed with low fuel consumption will be more in demand than modification with a weak or gluttonous a more powerful gasoline engines, is not justified.

From the first sight visible difference in price, but only if it's the cause? After all, the manufacturer claims a very small fuel consumption. With a large number of trips diesel crossover fairly quickly have paid for itself.

Test diesel

"Duster" was asking just the same to conduct a test drive that is either confirmed to the characteristics declared by the manufacturer, or denied.

SUV – all terrain vehicle. And acquire it mostly to combine and travel through the city and overcome the lack of roads.

 Renault duster

According to reviews, the 2011 Renault well behaved on dirt and gravel roads, with some effort creeps over the grass hills. Stock ground clearance is not enough for all the ruts and potholes bad roads, but protected the bottom makes this problem less acute. Short overhangs and successfully designed bumpers allow him to overcome steep climbs and descents.

The Owners «Renault Duster” ever to drive the streets of large and small towns, through the puddles, gradually turning into a swamp on the highway. And they determine what is the main advantage of SUV for difficult roads. Is that it does not mind.

First, the relatively simple car "Renault Duster" (diesel), equipment which does not suffer from electronic frills, and the bottom is securely protected, it is difficult to break, to break or tear anything you need on the go.

Second, it is not really very expensive, it is possible to try to cross the puddle or climbing the hill, avoiding the road that will cause some mental anguish in relation to the car value much higher than a million rubles.

Renault Duster (diesel) off-road

According to feedback from drivers, Renault is the worst off-road areas with liquid mud. Anyway, to stay in the middle of a large puddle is impossible. "Duster" slips in it even in the LOCK mode. You can go, just swinging the car back and forward more than a meter.

Travel on the road confirm that the engine thrust is not enough, the stated torque appears on the momentum, much larger 1750. Some drivers called the 2000, and some even 2500 rpm. It was almost the only significant advantage of the diesel engine before two-litre petrol, if not to take into account fuel economy. Even in the most difficult off-road conditions in the long ride down and the first transmission on all-wheel drive, fuel consumption is not more than 9 liters per hundred kilometers.

Renault Duster (diesel) on the streets

Due to the lack of first gear, the lack of traction, poor acceleration dynamics on city streets with their traffic lights and need to be reconstructed from a number in the number of trips on diesel "Duster" at least uncomfortable. Fuel consumption is up to 8 liters per 100 km.car duster diesel

The General flow SUV can move only with fourth gear. These shortcomings emphasize the “Renault Duster diesel” owner reviews.

All the disadvantages of a low power engine appear in ragged rhythm of life of the metropolis, but almost completely disappear in the smooth flow of life in the deep country.

No need to jump-start and accelerate to jump from lane to lane, hurry up and overtake. Easy enough to move in the rightmost row, saving fuel, and its own nerve cells.

Renault Duster (diesel) on the highway

In high gear on the highway, the SUV is able to transcend the potholes at cruising speeds to 110 km/h without leaving the path and not roving. To accelerate to maximum will have a long, and not worth it. At high speeds the engine is accompanied by a strong noise, merging with the noise from tires and wind. Also, before every turn, the temp will still drop because of the strong roll and lack of steering sensitivity.

Plus ride with the same speed is a tangible fuel economy. Fuel consumption, according to reviews, does not rise above 5.4 l / 100 km.

“Renault Duster" (diesel) in the winter

Experts say that the Renault Duster with a diesel engine even in the first version fully adapted to the harsh Russian winters. The manufacturer announced the minimum temperature at which the engine still starts – -25°C for Russia. For Europe it is five degrees above.

Adapted engine (diesel) "Duster" a fewsmokes until warmed up, because from the start fed a rich mixture to the motor is guaranteed to start at low temperatures. It does not burn completely, hence the smoke, which disappears after a few minutes of engine operation. This phenomenon – a result of settings on-Board electronics. Someone is not paying attention to the exhaust, someone changes the settings.

Electronics does not allow to turn on the heater until activated glow plugs that are in the startup mode of the motor consume current up to 80 A. the Electric heating elements to heat the passenger compartment are switched on only after the engine operating mode.

The movement of the cabin warms up very quickly. At maximum temperature and fan speed becomes just hot. Even if we consider that such an assessment is subjective, it is a positive point in the operation of an SUV in terms of when it's cold more than six months.duster diesel in the winter

With regard to travel in the winter, then the snow machine kept quite confidently, not stalled, at least until you sink into the snow at the hub.

Front-wheel drive it can climb snowy parapet piled up while cleaning streets.

On the steppe with connected full drive she breaks through the snow, clinging to solid ground and are able to create in front of a snow wave.
So, and this is confirmed in the most “Renault Duster" (diesel) owners, all the disadvantages of winter travel concern only the start of heating of the cabin.

Although on this occasion, the opinions differ very much, because the concept of “hot” and “cold” is individual, and the climatic conditions of the country, have significant differences.

“Renault Duster" (diesel) 109

Reviews of the drivers did the trick, and in 2015, appeared in the line of power units "Duster" a more powerful diesel engine.duster diesel 109 reviews

Applying the selected innovation experts of the automotive companies remain the engine size and geometry, but increased the capacity up to 109 HP With an average fuel consumption for trips around the city even a bit lower.

For cleaning of emissions from harmful substances the new engine complies with the EURO 5 standard. And maximum torque at the same 1750 rpm is 240 N.

The New “Renault Duster" (diesel) in the winter should feel better. And it is different from European counterparts the glow plug with different characteristics and a modified injection system, a new radiator and an additional electric heater allowing you to warm up the cabin before the engine.

Features of the new diesel engine

In 2015 a diesel engine equipped with not only AWD models, but Expression in the modification of 4x2. While the previous six-speed transmission.

However, experienced drivers think diesel SUV automatic transmission will only interfere with frequent off road trips.

The Car to 100 km accelerated for 12.5 seconds maximum speed – 166 km/h.

They have become more economical in fuel consumption, decreased noise level. To write drivers that even talking in the salon, not shouting over the engine, but only up to speeds of 130 km/h.

Diesel "Reno" is easier to handle on city streets, to work more stable at low speed.

Still goes well on a snowy road and in the LOCK quite easily overcomes small drifts.

One can Hardly call the lack of demanding a new engine to the fuel composition. One atomizer "Duster" (diesel) costs $ 250 and low-quality diesel fuel immediately leads to a failure of precisely these elements.

The Actual life of the engine to discuss still early, but experts say that at least 300 thousand km, of course, with timely maintenance and use of quality of consumables and fuel.

Prices of «Renault Duster” range from 845 thousand rubles for the version Expression to 950 thousand RUB over the Luxe Privilege with lots of safety features, fog lamps, heated windscreen and tinted rear Windows, cruise control, leather interior and many other useful and pleasant things. The gap in the cost of diesel and petrol cars remains, but since the new diesel was even more economical, then it may pay off even faster.

Owners

New "Duster" (diesel), review, really became more active in the city, easier to accelerate and goes for overtaking on the track.Renault duster diesel equipment

As for fuel consumption, in the city he "eats" a little more than 7 liters of fuel per 100 km on the highway without a load and at low speed to 110 km/h – 6.5 liters, with passengers and Luggage at speeds of 150 km/h – 8.

Experienced drivers think at the new "Duster" to accelerate to speeds above 130 km/h is not worth it. Another 10 km/h more, and the car loses stability. Farther from the driver is required to limit the concentration behind the wheel.

The Owners have paid attention to the fact that on the road, speeding up to cruising speed, you can go to sixth gear, at 2000 rpm the engine roars, the transmission operates almost like an automatic.

Particularly picky determined that the most economical mode on the track – fifth gear, 2500 rpm, speed 80 km/h. Butwho is so-and-so speed will go by car with good off-road performance?

In General, the updated SUV «Renault Duster" (diesel) owner reviews all the disadvantages relate to the interior of the car. And he operation of the power unit is not affected.

Today the new "Renault Duster"- 2015 GV - became one of the most popular crossovers in Russia. It is reliable, has all the advantages of the previous version, the flaws became less, because mistakes were done by the visible. The combination of serious off-road qualities and low prices negates the modest interior design and a small set of basic functions.

So what about the car "Renault Duster" (diesel) owner reviews all advantages and disadvantages while I can not accurately describe because of the small lifetime of the vehicle, however it is more popular than the previous version with a less powerful engine.
