How about more pictures of the redesigned Dacia/Renault Duster for 2018.
I always though the original, for generation model, would have made a great Nissan for the US market.
I guess I was wrong (That just cannot be). Or Nissan just didn’t think so.
I saw a couple in L.A over the years, from Mexico. And they do look really good!
The first generation was very popular, as about 2 million of them were sold around the world.
This all new second generation even looks better.
It is still small. About the size of a Honda HR-V. So not really “too small” for the US.
It is not fast or very powerful, with 125HP. (A base Ford Ecosport has 123HP)
It is cheap (between about $14 000 and $20 000 in Europe. Including taxes) And apparently, does really well off road.
At least better than most other “city oriented” small SUVs.
This could still be really nice as a cheap Nissan. Could be even cheaper than the Juke!
A little rougher, less powerful. But better at being a small truck.
I really think there is a market for this, or something like it.
Plus Renault already has access to all Nissan dealers.
All it needs is a redesigned grille and a few logos.
What do you think?
