2025 Renault Duster: More rugged crossover SUV arrives in Australia
The first 2025 Renault Duster SUVs have landed in Australia ahead of their official on-sale in local showrooms next month – with pricing and full details yet to be revealed. Sold under Renault's cost-conscious Dacia sub-brand in Europe, the Romanian-built Duster is a small SUV rival to crossover SUVs like the Skoda Kamiq and Suzuki Vitara. Offered in four model grades in the UK, Renault Australia has confirmed the Duster will be offered in Australia in two model grades but is yet to confirm full equipment details and pricing. It showed off the two Dusters – one in Sandstone, the other in Shadow Grey – here for final evaluation and accessory tests ahead of going on sale in July 2025, giving more clues to the final spec of local versions. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Renault Australia has said it won't set the sales charts alight as the automaker has lower numbers this year – with access to a greater volume of Duster expected in 2026. "Demand for this vehicle in Europe is very strong, so Australia will receive an initial allocation before shipments ramp up next year," Renault Australia managing director Glen Sealey said in a statement. "We ordered as many cars as we could this year, and we are now working closely with the factory to improve our allocation moving forward." Pricing in the UK starts at just below £20,000 ($41,520) before on-road costs and is expected to cost in the late $30,000-range in Australia – sitting close to the smaller new-generation Renault Captur SUV due here later this year. Renault Australia has previously confirmed the Duster lineup will include 'Y-shaped' daytime running lights (DRLs), with standard cabin equipment including a 10.1-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto . It has also said the Duster range will come standard with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), traffic sign recognition, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and a rear-view camera. The overseas Duster has a three-star Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) rating, which points to a potentially identical rating from sister safety authority ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program). With little else revealed, the images of the two Dusters appear to match the UK-spec Expression and Journey Duster model grades, respectively. The Expression sits above the entry-level Essential in the UK where it comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, 'Denim style' fabric seat trim, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster and rear parking camera. This Shadow Grey Duster appears to be one model grade above the Essential, the Journey – with Australia set to miss out on the top-spec Extreme for the time being. The UK-market Journey gets 18-inch alloy wheels, modular roof bars and heated front seats which also have 'MicroCloud plastic-coated textile' upholstery. The Duster also uses 20 per cent recycled material in its bumpers, according to Renault. The Sandstone Duster is a 4×4 model and the Shadow Grey a 4×2, Renault Australia having previously announced both will be offered from launch. Powering the front-wheel drive Duster 4×2 is a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine making 113kW of power and 250Nm of torque and mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It has a UK combined fuel economy claim of 6.5L/100km. The 4×4 versions will use a mild-hybrid 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol three-cylinder with 96kW and 230Nm and will be only available with a six-speed manual gearbox. 4×4 mild hybrid variants have a UK combined fuel consumption figure of 6.0L/100km. Renault Australia has confirmed 4×4 models also come with hill descent control and include five selectable drive modes. An automatic 4×4 version is expected to be offered overseas – and will be a strong candidate for Australian showrooms – while Renault has confirmed a 4×4 hybrid with a rear-axle electric motor will go into production by the end of 2025. Key dimensions for the 2025 Duster have been provided, confirming it's 4325mm long, 1921 wide and 1650mm high – with 'up to' 212mm ground clearance, although again, depending on the model grade. UK models also have a 517L boot in 4×2 Dusters, with 4×4 offering 456L. The Duster shares its CMF-B underpinnings with various Renault and Nissan vehicles, including the Nissan Juke. A range of accessories is also under evaluation, with the both cars showing off roof-mounted extras from Australian company Rhino Rack. "Unlike many other vehicles in the small SUV segment, the Renault Duster has a level of genuine off-road ability for those who want to escape the urban jungle," Mr Sealey said. "That's why we are working with Renault France and local accessory specialists to offer a wide range of options, so customers can get the most out of their new Renault Duster."MORE: Everything Renault Content originally sourced from: The first 2025 Renault Duster SUVs have landed in Australia ahead of their official on-sale in local showrooms next month – with pricing and full details yet to be revealed.

'Duster': When to Watch New Episodes of the Throwback Grindhouse Series
Lost alum Josh Holloway is back on TV doing what he does best: walking the line between good and criminal while flashing a wry smile the entire time. Duster, the show in question, takes place in Arizona in the early 1970s and follows a conflicted getaway driver named Jim Ellis (Holloway), who's just trying to do what's right for his loved ones -- even if it's by breaking the law. He ends up partnering with a focused FBI newcomer named Nina (Rachel Hilson), who is dead-set on bringing the crime family that employs Ellis to justice. Also starring in the series are Keith David (as crime boss Ezra Saxton), Sydney Elisabeth (as Genesis), Greg Grunberg (as FBI boss Abbott), Camille Guaty (as Jim's ex, Izzy), Asivak Koostachin (as Awan), Adriana Aluna Martinez (as Luna) and Benjamin Charles Watson (as Royce). The show was co-created by J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan. Scroll on to find out more details about streaming Duster and information about how using a VPN may help.

Luca de Meo's abrupt departure as Renault CEO has kicked off a search for his successor, with analysts mentioning longtime insider Denis Le Vot and Maxime Picat of rival Stellantis as suitable fits to continue the French automaker's turnaround. Renault shares fell as much as 8 per cent on Monday, their biggest one-day percentage drop since February 2022, as investors worried about the company's future without de Meo at the helm. Shares in Kering, where he will become CEO, rallied. Picat, who is head of global purchasing and supply chains at Stellantis, had been in the running for the chief executive officer post at the world's No. 4 automaker. One of two internal candidates, he lost out to Antonio Filosa. Analysts at French brokerage Kepler Cheuvreux said both men could be potential successors, whilst JP Morgan analyst Jose Asumendi noted Renault's "strong bench" of brand managers, including at Dacia. "We (...) also would envision potential external candidates from (other companies) such as Stellantis, VW Group, Nissan, amongst other competitors," he said. Le Vot and Picat, who are both French nationals, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Renault declined to comment on its succession plans. Whoever succeeds de Meo will have to hit the ground running. Although he revived Renault and overhauled its strategic alliance with Nissan during his five years as CEO, like other traditional automakers it faces rising competition from Chinese rivals. The company must also lean on partnerships because it is smaller than most other mainstream manufacturers. De Meo's departure will add to concerns about Renault's ability to remain independent, said Jefferies analysts, a perennial challenge in an industry built on scale. Renault was the world's No. 15 automaker by sales in 2024, according to data compiled by industry analyst Felipe Munoz, down from 14th spot in 2023. To make up for its small size as the auto industry wrestles with the huge expense of going electric, Renault under de Meo teamed up with a number of partners and investors including Google, Qualcomm and China's Geely. The partnerships have helped reduce costs, but labour unions claim they threaten the company's in-house know-how. Insider vs Outsider Under Le Vot's leadership, the Dacia brand has performed well thanks to its Sandero and Duster models. In April, the subcompact Sandero was Europe's No. 2 selling car - behind the Renault Clio - and the Duster SUV was No. 7, according to research firm JATO Dynamics. Le Vot had previous management stints in Turkey and Russia, where he was chief operating officer from 2011 to 2013, and ran North American operations at alliance partner Nissan, where he oversaw the launch of the new Altima sedan in 2018. Picat has spent his entire career at PSA and then Stellantis, formed when the French group merged with FCA in 2021. He was head of the Peugeot brand from 2012, where he oversaw the launch of two of its bestsellers, the 2008 and 3008 SUVs. A Stellantis source who knows Picat said he didn't know if he was interested in the top job at Renault, but that he would "not be surprised" if he was talking to the French automaker. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly, said it would be normal for an executive to look elsewhere after losing the race to become CEO.
