Renault has officially unveiled the new-generation Duster 2025, reintroducing the popular SUV with a completely fresh design, modern features, and multiple engine choices.
The Duster, once a trendsetter in the mid-size SUV segment, is making a comeback to take on rivals such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara.
Renault Unveils New-Gen Duster 2025 with Fresh Design, Features and Engine Options
The updated design looks tougher and more premium than before, featuring a bold front with Y-shaped LED DRLs, a wider chrome-accented grille, muscular bonnet lines, and dual-tone alloy wheels.
Elements like squared wheel arches, roof rails, and thick body cladding enhance its rugged SUV presence.
At the rear, the Duster gets Y-shaped LED tail lamps and a sculpted bumper for a sportier look.
Inside, the 2025 Duster has a completely redesigned cabin offering more comfort and space.
Key features include a floating touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and premium upholstery.
Higher trims are expected to provide a 360-degree camera, ambient lighting, and Renault’s connected car technology.
Safety kit includes up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, stability control, and in select variants, ADAS features such as lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and automatic emergency braking.
Globally, the SUV is offered with multiple engine options:
- A 1.2-litre turbo petrol with mild-hybrid tech producing about 128 PS.
- A 1.6-litre strong hybrid petrol delivering around 140 PS with better efficiency.
In some markets, a 1.0-litre petrol + LPG bi-fuel option.
For India, Renault is expected to launch petrol and hybrid versions, while diesel is unlikely to return.
Both manual and automatic transmissions will be available, with all-wheel drive (AWD) likely reserved for higher trims.
Renault Duster 2025 Expected to Launch at ₹10 Lakh, Hybrid Trims to Cross ₹17 Lakh
Pricing is expected to begin around ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base model, with top hybrid trims priced above ₹16–17 lakh.
The new Duster will compete directly with Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Toyota Hyryder, Maruti Grand Vitara, MG Astor, VW Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq.
The Renault Duster 2025 signals a strong return in the mid-size SUV market with its bold styling, modern interiors, and advanced hybrid powertrains.
With competitive pricing, it has the potential to win back its popularity among SUV buyers in India and global markets.
