Renault unveils the all new Duster; India launch in early 2014

December 03, 2013 15:45 IST


A couple of months after the Dacia Duster facelift was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the refreshed Renault Duster is here. This is the version that will come to India, and here are the first images.

What Renault have basically done, is to replace the Dacia badge with the Renault Lozenge, and alter the honeycomb-like chrome grille to a simpler dual-slat chrome grille, and voila, your Renault branded Duster facelift is ready!

Other new design elements on the soft-roader include Duster-branded roof rails with slatted supports, and 16-inch “Dark Metal” alloys that are wrapped with “Mud and Snow” tyres.

Based on these images, Renault have also carried over the new colour that was available to the Dacia version.

What we don’t know is whether the Renault-branded Duster gets the 1.2-liter TCe turbocharged engine, which was introduced on the Dacia version.

The other engines, a 1.6-liter petrol and the 1.5-liter K9K diesel, continue unchanged.
