These are the first images of the new generation Duster with a Renault badge and it will most likely be this SUV that will be entering our market in 2025. Earlier we saw the new Dacia Duster and now the Renault version seems to be largely unchanged save for the Renault logo of course. The design looks butch and has a muscular stance with a broad, proper SUV-like element being added in.

There is a big Renault badge on the grille and the lighting signature is similar to the Bigster concept. There are V-shaped lights, thick cladding, and an upright look thanks to the boxy styling. We could expect 17 or even 18-inch wheels while the new generation Duster will maintain its ruggedness too. Inside, there is going to be a minimalistic interior and a large 10-inch touchscreen while there will be a new digital instrument cluster too.

It is more of a functional SUV while still getting a decent amount of features. With a length of 4343mm, the Duster would compete with the likes of the Creta and Seltos while also in a way competing with the tougher Scorpio to some extent. The new Duster will be petrol only but there could be a mild hybrid on offer in India and possibly a 4x4 version. Globally there is a new full hybrid version with two electric motors which promises 80 percent electric driving in the city and a range of 543km city cycle. The 4x4 is available with the mild hybrid though.

 Renault recently announced its plans for India which include a new SUV and a 7-seater SUV too which would be the new Duster and a 7-seater version of the new Duster as well. With this brand being a popular one for Renault, it is sooner rather than later that the Duster comes back to the Indian market and takes part in the compact SUV segment which is currently one of the highest-performing segments. We think the mild hybrid Duster will be coming first but if the full hybrid also comes, then this would be a highlight for the car too.
