The launch of the new Renault Duster was carried out in Istanbul for the first time in the world on April 25 with a setup that redefined the course of the game with the motto "The New Renault Duster, Türkiye's Duster".

The pre-order system for the first users who want to own the New Renault Duster will open at the end of May.
Dr. Berk Çağdaş, General Manager of MAİS A.Ş. said, "We emphasized that Türkiye will become an export center through the Renault Brand International Game Plan 2027, which we announced in Istanbul with the participation of Renault Global CEO Fabrice Cambolive a few months ago, and 4 new Renault models, 3 of which are SUVs, will be produced in Bursa Oyak Renault Automobile Factories by 2027. Today, we are pleased to introduce the New Renault Duster, this plan's first and most significant step. The new Renault Duster is a privileged model that takes the Duster experience we know to a new dimension and carries this new experience from Türkiye to the world. The investment of over 400 million Euros, which OYAK and Renault Group will make, will further strengthen the international position of both Renault and Türkiye with the new Renault Duster".

The automatic emergency braking system and the “e-call” Emergency Call system provide support in emergency cases.
In-vehicle comfort prioritized in particular
The interior of the new Renault Duster is in harmony with its exterior design and is designed to create a calm and serene environment.

The new Renault Duster is equipped with the new YouClip system, which consists of different connection points situated in various points of the cabin (dashboard, center console, boot). YouClip allows you to attach and secure accessories specially designed by Renault, such as a tablet holder, smartphone holder or cup holder, bag hook, and a 3-in-1 accessory that combines portable light.
Pureblood athletic SUV design
The new Renault Duster reveals a strong identity that is robust and reassuring, with well-designed body proportions and natural, scratch-resistant, self-colored, largely recycled materials that wrap around the body like a protective belt. The 17-inch or diamond-cut aluminum 18-inch wheel options support this powerful look. In addition, the snorkel with the Duster logo and the grey mirror caps compatible with the front and rear bumper lower protection coverings underline the attention to detail.
The 4x4 version is equipped with a special bumper having a wider approach angle along with the 4x4 logo. All versions have Renault logos placed without drawing attention to the headlights, while a specially designed strip connects the lighting groups at the rear. In addition, the new Renault Duster is equipped with roof bars with a maximum capacity of 80 kg, designed for both longitudinal and transverse use.
All models offer significant sound insulation thanks to soundproof fender hood coatings and a windscreen with advanced acoustic insulation features other than foam fillings between the front corners and the body frame.
