Renault is gearing up to unveil its latest iteration of the Duster, designed to square off against the Maruti Ertiga. The global automotive landscape has already had a glimpse of this new entrant, and it certainly stands out in terms of design. A significant attraction for potential buyers will be its powerful and revamped engine.
The updated Renault Duster will feature a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder turbo engine, complemented by a mild hybrid technology and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine. This ensemble will also include a 1.2 kWh battery pack. Expected to generate a power of 138bhp, the car’s mileage promises to be impressive.
Not just the engine, but the Duster will be packed with a range of state-of-the-art features. These include automatic climate control, a large touchscreen infotainment system, a dedicated connectivity suite, and a premium sound system. Safety, a paramount concern for many buyers, has been addressed comprehensively. The vehicle might feature six airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, parking sensors, and an Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS).
While the exact pricing details for the new Renault Duster remain under wraps, the market buzz suggests it could be in the vicinity of 12 lakh. The official launch could be expected by 2024, although the company is yet to provide any formal announcements or confirmations.
The new Renault Duster seems poised to challenge the dominance of vehicles like the Maruti Ertiga, with its blend of power, features, and safety. Only time will tell how it fares in the competitive automotive market.
