New Renault Duster India Debut Highlights: Specifications, Features, Images

Renault is set to unveil the all-new Duster SUV for the Indian market today. The SUV will mark the return of the Duster nameplate to India after almost 4 years and is Renault's first all-new model for India in nearly half a decade.

Compared to the international model, the India-spec SUV looks to get some cosmetic differentiation, including differences in the lighting elements up front and a lightbar at the rear (missing on the international-spec car).

The new India-spec Duster is expected to sit on the Alliance's CMF-B platform - the same as its European sibling (pictured).

New Duster likely to carry forward petrol engine options from outgoing model, though other powertrain options cannot be ruled out.
