What is new in the Adventure Edition?

These updates help the SUV stand apart from the regular version without changing its familiar design.

Apart from the exclusive styling elements, the Adventure Edition continues to offer a long equipment list. Buyers get several premium comfort and convenience features, including:
- Full LED headlamps
- Electric panoramic sunroof
- Electric powered tailgate
- Dual zone automatic climate control
- Connected car technology with the My Renault app

- 17 inch Ocean alloy wheels
The feature list is identical to the regular model, making the special edition an attractive option for buyers looking for a different appearance.
Engine and gearbox options
Renault is offering the Adventure Edition with both turbo petrol engines already available with the Duster. The 1.0 litre turbo petrol engine develops 100 PS and 166 Nm and comes with a 6 speed manual gearbox.
The larger 1.3 litre turbo petrol engine produces 160 PS and 280 Nm. Buyers can choose between a 6 speed manual transmission or a 6 speed dual clutch automatic gearbox.
This gives customers three different powertrain choices depending on their driving needs.
