Renault Duster is going to make a comeback in the automobile world once again. This new generation coming with the 2025 model is much more attractive and technically equipped than its predecessors. Ready to strengthen its hold on Indian roads, this SUV not only makes a style statement but is also environmentally sensitive with hybrid technology.
Design
The design of Renault Duster 2025 has been completely redesigned. The wide grille and striking LED headlights at the front give a new dimension to its identity. Strong character lines and roof rails in the side profile highlight its SUV personality. At the rear, newly designed LED tail lights and sculpted bumper further enhance its street presence. 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels complete its muscular stance.
Luxury interior
Inside, the Duster 2025 gives a completely premium experience. The 10.1-inch floating touchscreen supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In front of the driver is a 7-inch full digital instrument cluster that clearly displays all the important information. The seats are offered in premium fabric/leather combination which remains comfortable even on long drives. Features like 6-speaker Arkamys 3D sound system, connected car technology and ambient lighting make its interior the best in the segment.
Powertrain options
The Renault Duster 2025 comes with three different engine options. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with a 48V mild hybrid system produces 130 PS of power. The 1.6-litre strong hybrid variant comes with 140 PS of power which is equipped with a 1.2 kWh battery and two electric motors. The 1.0-litre petrol-LPG engine generates 100 PS of power and comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. All variants offer a great balance of fuel efficiency and performance.
Safety
The new Duster has achieved a 3-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash test. It has features like 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). ADAS includes features like automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition and speed alert which make driving safer.
Price and Competitors
Talking about the price, the price of Renault Duster 2025 is expected to start from ₹ 10 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete directly with cars like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder in the Indian market. However, its hybrid powertrain and rugged design can give it a different identity in the competition.
