Renault Duster to come back – should Creta worry?
In India, the Duster nameplate is recognizable. It pioneered the now well-known C-SUV market in India. Renault initially had a lot of success with the Duster, but it was unable to make use of this advantage. What went wrong with Renault? The Hyundai Creta outperformed the Duster in this area since it did not upgrade the Duster with contemporary features. Renault has now grasped the essence of the game, though. Renault aims to capitalize on the Duster's continued popularity in India. Renault is developing the third-generation Duster and is thinking about launching it in India as well. Recent events have revealed further information regarding the new Duster. We'll speak about the Renault Duster in today's piece since it may make a reappearance in this country.
New development
There are rumors that the new Duster project has begun, although not by Renault. So who is working on it? The new Duster is currently being developed by Dacia, a sibling company of Renault. Dacia is developing two brand-new SUVs. The new Duster is one, while the Bicester idea from 2021 is the other. So what exactly is this Bigster idea? A seven-seater SUV is planned for the Bicester concept. The seven-seater will debut sometime in 2025, while the new Duster will debut in 2024, claims the same article.
What else do we know?
The third-generation Duster will be directly imported by Renault into India. The second generation, what about them? The second generation won't be coming here, according to Renault. Due to limited sales, it has already ceased manufacturing the first generation in the nation. Renault is moving right to the third generation since it would be better tailored to India. A lower-end version of the CMF-B platform, the CMF-B LS, is anticipated to serve as the foundation for this new Duster.
Design expectations – Renault Duster New
The Bicester idea will be used as design inspiration for the third generation. It will have a futuristic front and a boxy shape overall. According to the renderings, the grille will have a light-shaped appearance with the DRL pattern running through it. In addition, it will have silver skid plates, diamond-cut metals, and powerful fenders. Is this the final layout? Time will only tell. What are your thoughts on the brand-new Duster?
