The model debuted in December 2009. It is worth noting that in European markets the car is called Dacia Duster. But in Russia, Brazil and India it bears the familiar name for us - Renault Duster.

Interestingly, already in 2014 the circulation of Duster cars exceeded 1,000,000 copies.

The word “duster” literally translates as “duster”. Thus, the developers tried once again to draw attention to the phenomenal driving performance of the car even in off-road conditions.

As a body, they use the Nissan B0 platform, which has proven itself excellent in the Nissan Zhuk. However, the module was slightly modernized for the installation of all-wheel drive (4x4) and front-wheel drive (4x2).

In 2013, a large-scale update of the crossover was carried out, as a result of which the appearance was improved and more modern equipment was installed.

It is worth noting that in 2013, Renault Duster was recognized as the car of the year in Russia.

The line of power units offers five petrol engines – two with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 102 hp. (the difference between them is the type of drive), three 2.0-liter, which are capable of producing 143 hp. Also, there is one diesel unit available - a 1.5-liter engine with a power of 90 “horses”. They are paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 5 or 6-speed manual transmission.

Many Russian car enthusiasts are interested in the real consumption of Renault Duster. In the next paragraph we will address this issue.

Consumption

If you carefully analyze the information about Renault Duster engines, they can be divided into three categories, and using their example to discuss fuel consumption per 100 km:

1. The only diesel unit boasts a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 90 horsepower. Thanks to it, Duster is able to reach a speed of 156 km/h. The high consumption of this car is a myth - 5.5 liters on average.
2. Next comes a pair of 1.6-liter engines that are capable of producing 102 horsepower and accelerating the Duster to 158 km/h. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 9 liters.
3. Don’t forget about the two-liter units, thanks to which the crossover is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 178 km/h. Fuel consumption in mixed mode does not exceed 8 liters.

• keep the car clean, especially its outer part, because layers of dirt can significantly disrupt the streamlining of the body, and thereby overload the engine;
• refuse to use spoilers and roof rails that are not provided for by the vehicle design. Their presence can disrupt the overall aerodynamics of the body by increasing the drag force, and this directly leads to an increase in the consumption rate;
• fill the fuel tank only with high-quality fuel that meets all requirements;
• try to use the vehicle’s electrical equipment, which is powered by a common generator, to a minimum.

When choosing a Renault Duster crossover, many view and analyze information about it. This allows you to become better acquainted with this model, produced by the French company Renault Group. An important element of this analysis is the fuel consumption of Renault Duster. To better study the aspect you are interested in, you need to briefly review the information about this car.

Total information

Renault Duster was released in 2009, originally called Dacia. Later, it was given its current name and began to be released in certain European countries. The compact crossover Renault Duster is considered a budget car option, since its fuel consumption is lower than other SUVs of this type. Let's take a closer look at the Renault Duster gasoline consumption figures per 100 km in all variants of this model.

Specifications

Initially, you need to identify the main representatives of this SUV model. The Renault Duster crossover line includes:

• a 4×4 car with a 1.5 liter diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission;
• 4×4 model with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, manual transmission, with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear;
• Duster car with front-wheel drive, 2.0 liter gasoline engine, six-speed manual gearbox;
• 4×2 crossover with a 2.0 liter petrol engine, four-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel consumption

According to official sources of Renault, fuel consumption standards for Renault Duster per 100 km look more than acceptable. And real fuel consumption figures do not differ much from passport information. In general, the Renault Duster SUV is presented in several modifications, which are described below

Consumption on a 1.5 liter diesel engine

The first model presented in this series of cars is the 1.5 dCi diesel. Technical characteristics of this type of Renault Duster: power 109 horsepower, speed – 156 km/h, equipped with a new injection system. A Renault Duster gasoline consumption per 100 km is 5.9 liters (in the city), 5 liters (on the highway) and 5.3 liters in the combined cycle. Fuel consumption in winter increases to 7.1 (in the variable cycle) -7.7 liters (in the city).

Gasoline consumption on a 1.6 liter engine

The next one is a crossover with a gasoline engine, its cylinder capacity is 1.6 liters, power is 114 horses, and the possible speed that the car develops is 158 km/h. The fuel consumption of a Duster of this type of engine is 7 liters outside the city, 11 liters in the city and 8.3 liters in the combined cycle per 100 kilometers. In winter, the numbers are a little different: 10 liters of gasoline costs on the highway, 12-13 liters in the city.

Costs of a 2.0 engine with manual and automatic transmission

The lineup is completed by an SUV with a 2-liter engine. It is worth noting that it is equipped with an increased efficiency mode, which makes this model better than the previous one. Engine power is 135 horsepower, speed is 177 km/h. At the same time, the fuel consumption of the Renault Duster is 10.3 liters in the urban cycle, 7.8 liters in the mixed cycle and 6.5 liters in the extra-urban cycle. In winter, city driving will cost 11 liters, and on the highway - 8.5 liters per 100 km.

2015 was a turning point for the Renault Duster crossover line. Renault Group has released an improved version of the SUV with a 2-liter engine. The predecessor was equipped with a manual transmission and gasoline costs were higher. Average gasoline consumption for Renault Duster with automatic transmission is 10.3 liters, 7.8 liters and 6.5 liters respectively (in the city, variable type and on the highway), engine power – 143 horses. The winter period will cost 1.5 liters more per 100 kilometers.

What affects high fuel costs?

In general, the difficulties and reasons for the increase in fuel consumption by the Renault Duster model car are divided into two groups: general (related to driving and car parts) and weather-related (which include, first of all, problems of the winter season).

Common reasons for volumetric gasoline consumption

The main enemy of Duster car owners is city driving. It is here that the fuel consumption of the engine increases significantly.

Accelerating and braking at traffic lights, changing the car to another lane, and even parking “force” the engine to consume more fuel.

But there are other factors that influence the increase in fuel consumption:

• fuel quality;
• problems with the transmission or chassis of the vehicle;
• degree of engine wear;
• tire type and tire pressure changes;
• equipment of the car with manual or automatic transmissions;
• use of all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive in a car;
• terrain and quality of road surface;
• driving style;
• use of climate control devices.

Weather factors increase fuel costs

Driving in winter has many disadvantages. There are many reviews on the Internet from owners of similar cars, and the same number of reviews about driving problems in winter:

• slippery road surfaces;
• warming up the engine, car interior and tires;
• An automatic transmission increases the engine's fuel consumption.

Fuel saving methods

You can protect yourself from unnecessary fuel costs. For any engine, engine speed is important. The fuel engine should accelerate with a torque of 4000 rpm, and while driving the mark fluctuates around 1500-2000 rpm. A diesel engine operates with different numbers. The speed should not exceed 100-110 km/h, torque 2000 rpm or lower.

It is important to remember that a calm driving style, average speed and moderate terrain have a significant impact on reducing fuel costs.

Duster is a completely unique offer in its class - this lightweight car has fairly decent maneuverability and cross-country ability along with low fuel consumption. What else do you need to constantly travel to work and to nature with your family? All four-wheel drive models are equipped with a 6-speed transmission, which allows for flexible driving in a wide variety of situations.

Are you going fishing with a large group? The Duster can easily fit 5 people, and the volume of the luggage compartment is enough to take everything you need with you without any problems. You can transport quite large items by folding the rear seat and as a result, you have about 1636 liters of free space at your disposal.

In 2009, a compact crossover was presented by the French automobile company Renault Group called Renault Duster. Initially in Europe the car was known under the Dacia brand. And only later it received its current name, production of which was established in several countries at once.

Renault Duster 1.5d 4WD diesel

Technical data

The Duster was introduced with several types of engines. One of them is a 1.5-liter diesel engine. The power of such a unit is 90 hp. The maximum speed of the diesel model is 156 km/h, consumption is 5.9 liters in the urban cycle and 5 liters in the suburban cycle.

About real fuel consumption

• Valentina, Kolomna. Renault Duster 1.5d is quite large and comfortable, there is plenty of space between the seats. We bought cars second-hand, as there was a big rush for new ones and prices jumped dramatically. In general, after two months of operation, the fuel system failed. Apparently, the previous owner fueled it with something unknown. Cleaned the injectors and everything is fine. Fuel consumption is 6-6.5 liters in the city. On the highway about 4.5 liters.
• Dmitry, Chelyabinsk. I'm happy with the car. I live in the countryside, so I drive mostly off-road. The car copes with it perfectly, handling is excellent. Off-road fuel consumption does not exceed 7.6-8.2 liters. When you drive on the highway, it eats around 5.5 liters. The only negative is that it gets very dirty. Model 2013.
• Andrey, Vladikavkaz. I bought my Duster about three years ago (2012 build). I have already driven almost 50 thousand km on it. Mostly I went to work from village to city. Fuel consumption in winter was about 7.1 liters in the combined cycle. In summer, 6 liters are spent. The salon is quite large. We had to widen the wheel arches because there was a lot of mud thrown at us.
• Vyacheslav, Moscow. Renault Duster 1.5d MT 2013. Everything in the car is excellent, except for some small things. During the entire period of ownership, the mileage was 25,000 km. Somewhere after 16,000 km, fuel consumption increased horribly to 10 liters in the city. The official service cannot say what the reason is. I really like the car, but if it weren’t for this problem.
• Tatiana, Ekaterinburg. The car is super in every way. I've wanted a Duster for a long time. Now I’ve been driving it for more than a year, and my joy knows no bounds. I bought the 2013 model and have had no problems so far. Consumption in the city in winter with all traffic jams is 7.7 liters. In summer it turns up to 6 liters. One of the disadvantages is the inconvenient location of the heating buttons. And it’s a little annoying that when you turn on the headlights, the backlight on the panel fades.

Fuel consumption rate per 100 km

Another engine in the line of power units is a 1.6 liter engine. Its power is 102 hp. At the same time, the maximum speed that the crossover can develop is 158 km/h, and fuel consumption per 100 km is 11 liters in the urban cycle and 7 liters in the suburban cycle.

Owner reviews on gasoline consumption

• Mikhail, Sarov. Before buying I read reviews about the car. Later, when I bought it and drove it, I realized that many people had never driven it. The car is excellent. High ground clearance and good maneuverability. The salon is large and comfortable. The plastic is, of course, cheap, but it doesn’t creak anywhere. During all this time, I only passed two scheduled maintenance and that’s it. Consumption, however, is a bit high - an average of 10 liters.
• Ivan, Tobolsk. Renault Duster 1.6 MT 2014. It took me a long time to choose a car, but due to the good price, I took the Duster with this configuration. Everything is fine. The salon is simply huge; three people can fit comfortably in the back seat. The ground clearance is sufficient to drive off-road. Gasoline consumption is about 11.5 liters in the city and on the ground. On the highway I fit 7.5 liters easily.
• Alexander, Moscow. Reliable and comfortable car. The next day after the purchase, heavy snow fell, and the Duster with a 1.6 engine (102 hp) coped with it without problems. In the salon you feel like a person. Consumption is relatively normal - 9.5-10.5 liters on average. True, the tank could have been made larger, the fuel supply was weak. We also had to make additional protection against stones.
• Nikolay, Zheleznogorsk. Since the service life is short (I took a new one from 2014), I can only say one thing - a car with many advantages. The first thing I liked was the cross-country ability and excellent performance of all-wheel drive. So far it has never let me down. A very good stove, quite enough in winter. Fuel consumption can be considered a disadvantage, since the engine eats a lot. The average is 11-12 liters per hundred.
• Stanislav, Voskresensk. Renault Duster 1.6 MT 2014. I’m not entirely happy with the car. Almost a month after purchase, the paint started chipping off the hood and roof. The officials refused to change it under warranty. The plastic is disgusting, scratches at the slightest touch, thin metal. Consumption is simply enormous - 13 liters in the city and 10 liters on the highway. Now I’m planning to sell the car and get something else, but definitely not a Renault.

Renault Duster 2.0 AT+MT 4WD

Information from the manufacturer

Also under the hood of the Renault Duster is a 2.0 liter engine. The power it develops is 135 hp. The car accelerates to a maximum speed of 177 km/h. Fuel consumption will be 10.3 liters in the city and 6.5 liters on the highway. In 2015, a restyled version with a power of 143 hp was released. with an average consumption of 8.7 l (AT) and 7.8 l (MT).

Real fuel consumption data

• Oleg, Moscow. I use the car only for work and drive it mainly around the city. Gasoline consumption is 11 liters, in winter with a stove 12 liters. There haven't been any serious breakdowns yet, just minor ones. At 35 thousand km I replaced the oil seal on the gearbox, and after 59 thousand km - the stabilizer bushings. At 100 thousand km I changed the brake pads. The plastic in the cabin rattles a lot. Especially in winter, until the car warms up. 2012 build with MT.
• Vladimir, Yelets. Renault Duster 2.0 MT 2014. In terms of comfort, the car, of course, is not a Zhiguli, but there are still shortcomings. The advantages are good maneuverability and spaciousness in the cabin. Consumption is about 9 liters. In the future I want to switch to gas. The only thing I don’t like is the very expensive service from the officials. I installed a radiator grille on them and that’s it, never set foot on them again.
• Anton, Kamyshin. There were a lot of cars. Now, in addition to Duster, there is Tiguan. There is something to compare with. Good powerful engine and good 4x4 suspension. Consumption in winter, taking into account the quality of our roads, is 10-11 liters/100 km. The salon is poor, nothing special. The standard audio system is bad, as is the trim, which constantly falls off. Restyled model 2015 with automatic transmission.
• Sergey, Novy Urengoy. The car as a whole is well conceived, but there are some complaints. They mainly relate to interior trim and options. Cheap plastic on the console, the steering wheel trim doesn't look very good either, plus poor sound insulation. As for driving characteristics, everything is fine here. The engine is high-torque, consumes 10-11 liters in the city and 7 liters on the highway.
• Daria, Obninsk. Renault Duster 2.0 AT 2014. Overall, my husband and I are happy with the purchase. The car is very suitable for a family. There is plenty of space in the cabin, and visibility also seems to be quite good. The service is excellent and, most importantly, inexpensive. Fuel consumption is kept within the range of 8.5-9 liters per hundred. The car gets very dirty; when you get in, you constantly get dirty.

Which is a cross between an SUV and a hatchback, has become popular in recent times. This is not surprising, given the low price of the car for an SUV. But many potential buyers are interested in the issue of fuel consumption per 100 km of the Renault Duster. Based on the official information in the passport and reviews of owners on forums, we can come to a certain conclusion.

Car engines

Renault Duster, which is produced for sale in Russia, can be equipped with three types of engines with different fuel supply systems and powers. The following engines are supplied to Russia:

1. Turbodiesel 1.5 liters with 109 horsepower. It has increased traction, torque is 240 Nm at 1750 rpm. There is also a new fuel injection system and turbocharger.
2. Gasoline engine with cylinders with a total volume of 1.6. Its power is 114 horsepower, there is also a chain drive and a variable gas distribution system.
3. Petrol engine with cylinder capacity of 2 liters. Its power is 143 hp. With. This engine has a special economy mode and variable gas distribution phases.

Quite naturally, the gasoline consumption of a Renault Duster will differ depending on the type of engine used.

Passport consumption and efficiency

The relatively new Renault Duster is equipped with fairly economical engines that fully meet the requirements of the international environmental standard EURO 5. The designers of these engines have used some innovative solutions, thanks to which not only the gasoline consumption of the Renault Duster has decreased, but also the car’s throttle response has improved.

The diesel engine is now equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger. This is done so that the cross section at the turbine inlet can change as the load on the engine itself increases. This means that under any load - large or small - the engine will operate in conditions close to ideal, and will not “eat” excess fuel at both high and low speeds. He always takes exactly as much fuel as he needs. Also, the diesel engines of this machine have a Common Rail injection system, which can supply fuel under controlled high pressure and, more importantly, variable torque depending on the number of engine revolutions.

All these innovations have made it possible to achieve significant fuel savings. Because of this, the Renault Duster’s fuel consumption per 100 km fits into the following figures:

1. In the city - 5.9 liters.
2. On the highway - 5 liters.
3. Mixed cycle - 5.3 liters.

For a diesel engine these are quite good figures.

Consumption of Renault Duster 1.6 with gasoline engines

1.6 liter engines have a variable valve timing system. According to the designers, this made it possible to reduce gasoline consumption. In addition, the car uses electro-hydraulic power steering, and this also plays a role. The fact is that the pressure in the amplifier is created not by the engine, but by a separate electric motor, which allows saving an extra liter per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption of Renault Duster 1.6:

1. In urban conditions - 9.3 liters.
2. On the highway - 6.3 liters.
3. Mixed cycle - 7.6 liters.

Considering the engine size, it cannot be said that Renault specialists were able to create something unique in terms of fuel economy. The same old Opels produced in 2003 consume approximately the same amount of fuel with the same engine size. This applies not only to Opels, but also to cars of other brands. Therefore, 9.3 liters of gasoline in urban conditions with a 1.6 liter engine is normal, but not cool.

Fuel consumption of Renault Duster 2.0

The most powerful engine that can be used in this car is a 2-liter eco engine. The ecosystem in this engine reduces fuel consumption when there is no need for high power. In this case, this mode is turned on manually by pressing a button, and is turned off by default.

Fuel consumption of Renault Duster per 100 km with a 2.0 petrol engine:

1. In the city - 10.1 liters.
2. On the highway - 6.5 liters.
3. Mixed - 7.8 liters.

When the mode is turned on, savings reach 10% of total consumption. This means that in Eco mode, city consumption can be “caught up” to 9 liters per hundred, but engine power may be slightly reduced.

What affects efficiency?

Note that the real consumption of the Renault Duster is somewhat different. After all, the figures indicated above are valid only for an ideal car under ideal operating conditions. But in reality, the gluttony of the Renault Duster car is determined by many factors:

1. Technical condition of the engine and the machine as a whole. For example, if the body is crooked, fuel consumption increases significantly.
2. Technical condition of the chassis and transmission.
3. Equipment.
4. Transmission type.
5. Number of drives, etc.

An important role is played by the driver’s ability to change gears on time and not over-throttle. Therefore, no one can say the exact fuel consumption per 100 km of the Renault Duster. It will always be individual for each owner of this car.

We also learn from driver reviews that some breakdowns can greatly increase fuel consumption. Sometimes gasoline consumption increases several times. Even tire pressure can increase the load on the engine, and as a result, fuel consumption will increase.

Powertrain and Economy

The transmission and equipment of the car play an important role. Renault Duster is equipped with 4x4 and 2x4 manual transmissions. There is also a 4x4 automatic transmission. Each of them will create its own unique load on the engine. Therefore, the fuel consumption of a Renault Duster 4x4 will differ from that of a 4x2 vehicle. The driver's driving style also determines whether fuel consumption will be increased or decreased.

The same can be said about the drive. On big climbs, all-wheel drive pays off and even saves gas. When towing with front or rear wheel drive, gasoline is consumed much faster and a lot. In this regard, an all-wheel drive car is better.

Real fuel consumption of Renault Duster

Driver tests have shown that the rated gas and diesel consumption of this car is radically different from the real one. In principle, this should not surprise anyone - this happens more often than we would like.

If you try and keep the speed and speed stable, the diesel consumption on the highway will be approximately 6-6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. But usually this doesn’t happen, because it’s impossible to find a perfectly flat route. You always have to accelerate, slow down and go around something. Therefore, consumption of 6.3 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers can be considered a normal result.

If you want all-wheel drive, there is an option with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine. This model consumes 9.6 liters in the city, and this practically corresponds to what the manufacturer writes in the passport. Of course, with the air conditioning on, consumption will increase to 10.2 liters per 100 km.

If you believe the reviews of the owners, then fully loading the car with passengers can increase the consumption in the city to almost 11-13 liters. However, on the highway the consumption will be 7 liters per 100 km, which is also an acceptable result.

The actual fuel consumption of a Renault Duster with a 2-liter engine and all-wheel drive in the city is 11.6 liters per 100 km. If you go a little higher in this article, you will see that the passport value is -10.1 liters. And if you turn on the air conditioner in parallel, the consumption will increase by another 1 liter. On the highway, a car with this configuration consumes its fair 8 liters. You can even achieve seven liters per 100 km, but this is with the Eco mode turned on, which, as you remember, saves on average 10% of gasoline.

Consumption in traffic jams

But getting stuck in traffic jams with this car is extremely undesirable. After all, when driving at a speed of 10-20 kilometers per hour, the real consumption of the Renault Duster can be about 21 liters per hundred. Some owners share terrible photos of the on-board computer, which shows a consumption of 45 liters per hundred, but this is when driving in a traffic jam.

How to drive economically?

If you are the owner of a Renault Duster car with an engine that “eats” gasoline, then you need to adhere to the following rules:

1. When accelerating, increase the torque to 4000.
2. After accelerating in last gear, move with the arrow on the tachometer at 2000 rpm.
3. When driving around the city, try to keep the tachometer needle within 2000 rpm in 2nd-4th gears.

If you have a diesel engine, then the situation will be slightly different. Typically, the optimal torque for a diesel engine is 2000 in fifth gear and a speed of 100-110 km/h. However, for Renault Duster this mode is reduced. All because of the diesel engine that is used here. Here, diesel fuel consumption is regulated by a special injection system and an unusual turbocharger with variable geometry. The owners of these cars write on forums that their car is actually economical under any operating conditions. But you can fully appreciate the efficiency of a diesel engine only with the correct driving style. And this is true for all cars, not just the Duster.

Opinions

Many reviews can be found on thematic forums. They often write about buying Renault Dusters with diesel engines because of the obvious savings on fuel. In the city, the car consumes 6.5 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km, but only if the driving style is correct. As a result, savings compared to gasoline are about 200 rubles per 100 kilometers.

But owners of gasoline engines (1.6 l) sometimes complain. Consumption in the city is 10 liters, this figure grows in traffic jams. Because of this, you have to refuel your car more often than you would like. Therefore, for megalopolises and busy cities, where traffic jams are a common occurrence, a Renault Duster with a gasoline engine is unlikely to be suitable. The ideal option is a diesel engine with low fuel consumption.

Overall, this car is worth the money that sellers are asking for it. Of course, it cannot be called economical, but Renault-Duster can give some other analogues for the same money a head start in terms of efficiency.
