Renault is all set to make a strong comeback in the SUV market with the next-generation Renault Duster, which will be unveiled in India on next year in January. This marks a major evolution for one of the country’s most popular compact SUVs, known for its rugged looks and reliable performance.
Bolder Design and Stronger Presence
The new Renault Duster 2025 gets a completely redesigned exterior with a more muscular and modern stance. It features Renault’s signature Y-shaped LED design elements, a newly styled front grille, and reworked headlamps that give the SUV a more dynamic and premium appeal. The expanded wheel arches and improved ground clearance further enhance its road presence, making it look tougher and more SUV-like than before.
Petrol-Only Powertrain with Turbo Boost
Under the hood, the new Duster will be offered exclusively with a petrol engine at launch. It is expected to feature a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine, promising a perfect balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Buyers can expect both manual and automatic transmission options.
While the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system that was available in the previous generation may not return this time, Renault’s new focus is on offering city-friendly, efficient, and affordable variants that meet the needs of modern Indian buyers.
