Renault Duster Updates

Sunday, 10 November 2024 12:18 AM The next-generation Renault Duster has been spotted testing on Indian roads for the first time, with a heavily camouflaged test mule caught on camera in Kerala. The new Duster is expected to retain its rugged looks with features like LED headlamps, boxy wheel arches, and plastic cladding. It will be based on Renault’s CMF-B platform and is set to launch in India around November 2025. I think this new design will appeal to fans of the original Duster.

Saturday, 09 November 2024 06:59 AM Renault has confirmed that the new Duster will come in a seven-seater version called the Bigster, which was recently unveiled globally. The Bigster will have a wheelbase of 2,657mm and will feature advanced driver assistance systems, a 7-inch instrument cluster, and a 10-inch infotainment system. This move is likely to make the Duster more competitive in the Indian market.

Monday, 12 February 2024 08:49 PM The 2024 Renault Duster is expected to be priced from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) when it launches in India in 2025. The SUV will feature a fresh exterior design inspired by the Dacia Bigster concept, including slim headlights and Y-shaped LED DRLs. It will also come with dual digital displays and Y-shaped inserts around the AC vents. I believe this pricing will make it a strong contender in the compact SUV segment.

Monday, 12 February 2024 09:58 AM Renault has unveiled the third-generation Duster, which will be launched in India in 2025. The new Duster will be based on the CMF-B platform and will feature a redesigned interior with a 10.1-inch floating touchscreen and a 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster. It will also include features like wireless charging, automatic climate control, and ventilated front seats. This overhaul should make the Duster feel much more modern.

Monday, 12 February 2024 01:36 PM The new Renault Duster will be offered with three powertrain options, including two turbo-petrol engines and one hybrid option. The engines include a 120 hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, a 140 hp 1.2-litre turbo petrol, and a 170 hp 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine, with the latter two options featuring a mild hybrid setup. This variety should cater to different consumer preferences.

Monday, 12 February 2024 09:14 PM The upcoming Renault Duster will feature advanced safety features, including a suite of driver assistance systems, reverse sensors, and a robust structure designed for better crash protection. These enhancements are part of Renaults effort to meet stringent safety standards and provide a safer driving experience. I believe these features will be a major selling point for the new Duster.

Monday, 08 July 2019 09:38 PM The 2019 Renault Duster facelift was launched in India, priced between Rs 7.99 lakh and Rs 12.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The facelift included cosmetic changes such as new LED DRLs, a revised grille, and updated interior features. This update was aimed at keeping the Duster competitive in the market.

Monday, 24 June 2019 10:27 AM Renault India has announced that the new Duster will not have a diesel engine option, marking a significant shift towards petrol and hybrid powertrains. This decision aligns with global emission standards and is expected to improve the vehicles efficiency. I think this move is a step in the right direction for environmental sustainability.

Monday, 15 April 2019 05:25 PM The second-generation Duster, though available in international markets, was not introduced in India due to regulatory and market-specific reasons. Instead, India will directly receive the third-generation model, which is expected to be more aligned with local market needs. This strategy should help Renault better target Indian consumers.

Wednesday, 20 September 2017 07:05 AM Renault introduced the Duster Sandstorm Edition in India, priced starting at Rs 10.90 lakh. This special edition featured new color options, bold body graphics, and several enhancements. It was a move to boost sales and attract more buyers to the Duster.
