The new Duster showcases its bold front and side profiles in the latest spy shots. At the front, slim LED headlights with twin rectangular LED DRLs take center stage. These headlights seamlessly merge with a grille featuring a block pattern. Additionally, the front bumper sports vertical air dams and a mesh pattern for the radiator. Moving to the side, squared-off wheel arches, black alloy wheels, and bronze-colored side mirrors catch the eye. At the rear, the test car exhibits the new Duster's sloping roofline, accompanied by a distinctive roof spoiler and vertically-stacked LED tail lights.

Next-Gen Renault Duster Interiors And Features

In the European market, the Duster is sold under the Dacia brand at an affordable price point. Consequently, it only offers essential features, including a touchscreen infotainment system and automatic air conditioning. However, as the Duster competes with the Hyundai Creta and other C-segment SUVs in the Indian market, we expect the new Duster to be fully equipped with all the desirable features expected from a C-segment SUV. Therefore, the new Duster could feature a panoramic sunroof, a large touchscreen infotainment system featuring wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree parking camera, and an electronically-adjustable driver seat.

Next-Gen Renault Duster Expected Powertrain Details

In terms of powertrain, we expect the next-gen Duster to come with petrol engine options. Renault could continue with the same 1.5L normal petrol engine and 1.3L turbocharged petrol engine that were on offer with the old Duster. Additionally, since Renault are testing the Arkana hybrid on Indian roads, they could also consider a strong hybrid powertrain for their future products, including the Duster, to take on the strong hybrid variants of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
