It has differences with the model in our country.
Renault, which has shown a very successful rise in recent years, owes this to the diversity of its product range. The French manufacturer, which sells different models in different regions, understands the importance of some markets very well. For example, India.
India is actively the third largest automobile market in the world. While SUVs reached only about 12 percent of the market in 2012, their share has recently approached 55 percent. Classic small and compact vehicles lost significant importance in the same period. In short, the ground was already ready for the return of Renault Duster to the country.
Duster; It is marketed under the Renault brand in India, Ukraine, many South American countries, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and Egypt. Although most of these models are produced in Turkey, the India-specific Duster will be produced at the Chennai facility, which Renault acquired in 2025. This means that there is a difference between the Duster you see in the photos and our Duster.
The most obvious change is in the design wing. Although the dimensions of both models are the same, the giant Duster logo has replaced the Renault logo on the front. While minor changes are observed in the headlight sets and front bumper, when we look at the profile, we see that the black protection parts on the door have also disappeared. At the rear, both stops are connected to each other by an LED bar.
Another important change is inside the cabin. India’s Duster uses a setup we know from the Renault 5 in its cabin. The unibody screen design encompasses both the digital instrument cluster and the multimedia display.
A few months after its launch, the Renault Duster will be available with a 160-horsepower full hybrid E-Tech engine, which is also used in other Renault models such as the Captur, Symbioz and the new Clio. The same engine will be able to provide 172 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm. The model will also be available in the TCe 100 version with a 1.0L engine and the 1.3-liter TCe 160 version.
