The cheap Kia Sonet crossover has undergone restyling: official footage.

Duster has entered a new generation: more brutal, richer, without a diesel engine.

In Europe, the third generation crossover will be offered as a hybrid; buyers will also be able to choose a bi-fuel version. The start of sales is scheduled for spring next year.

As the press service of the Renault Group noted, in just 13 years more than 2.2 million crossovers were produced.
