The multinational automobile manufacturer Renault is all set to reveal the new Duster SUV on November 29, 2023. Renault first unveiled the first-generation Duster in 2013, but because of its low demand, the company had to stop production in 2020. The Duster SUV could make its comeback in India, as the sports utility vehicle segment is witnessing a high demand in the market. Renault’s other SUVs, like the Triber and Kriger, are widely popular in the country. And now, the new Duster SUV is going to give a drastic boost to Renault’s sales in India.
The French automaker has already leaked images of the new SUV. The car bears a bit of resemblance to the previous Duster, but it comes with more updated features. The new SUV comes equipped with a new engine, an updated interior, and fresh looks. Renault and its UK partner Dacia have jointly designed and manufactured this new raging SUV. If the French auto manufacturer finally launches this SUV in India, it is definitely going to be a tough competitor against other SUVs such as the Kia Seltos, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Creta, etc.

On the inside, the Renault Duster will get updated features such as a redesigned dashboard and upholstery. It could also include features like a digital driver display, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charger to charge mobile devices, wireless connectivity, and automatic climate control.
The new-generation Duster is expected to be available with options for both hybrid and petrol powertrains. The company may include a 1.2 litre mild-hybrid unit that can churn out around 130 bhp peak power and a 1.6-litre hybrid powertrain that can produce 140 bhp peak power. The Renault Duster is expected to come with both manual and automatic gearbox options.
