Renault Duster Facelift Launched at Rs. 8.47 Lac

Renault has launched the much awaited facelift of the Duster SUV at a base price tag of INR 8.47 lacs. The top of the line variant is priced at INR 13.57 lacs, whereas the AMT version of the car costs Rs. 11.67 lacs. The vehicle was showcased at the 2016 Indian Auto Expo and received good response from spectators and critics. The car competes against its usual competitors that include the likes of Hyundai Creta, Maruti S-Cross, Ford Ecosport, Mahindra TUV300 and the soon to be launched Honda BR-V.

Commenting on the launch of the new Duster, Mr. Sumit Sawhney, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India Operations said, “Duster is a perfect example of Renault’s core specialty of concept innovation, where we redefine an existing segment, offering something new to the customer. Success in the automotive space is led by clutter-breaking products that rewrite automotive trends and make customers’ lives better. Over the years, Duster has firmly etched Renault on India’s automotive map and has achieved a cult status. With the new 6 speed Easy-R Automated Manual Transmission and several technical and design enhancements offered at a compelling price, we are confident that the New Duster will lead our expansion plans in India and strengthen our position in the compact SUV segment.”

The Duster facelift has been on sale globally for quite some time now. Duster will be offered with DRLs, LED tail lamps, auto AC, a new 7-inch Renault MediaNav unit and most important of all, the 110 PS version made available with an automated manual transmission.
