<p><img alt="New Renault Duster Spy 2" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/11/New-Renault-Duster-spy-2.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The test vehicle spotted recently was heavily camouflaged, suggesting that the SUV is in the final stages of development. From the images, it is evident that the new Duster retains its rugged design with ample ground clearance. The SUV&nbsp;will be longer than its predecessor, measuring 4,340mm in length, though its wheelbase has been slightly reduced to 2,657mm. Coming to the design elements, the front end will feature major revisions, including narrow Y-shaped LED DRLs, a revamped bumper with vertical air vents, and integrated round fog lamps.&nbsp;At the rear, the SUV will sport&nbsp;C-shaped taillights and a modified bumper. Other highlights of the 2025 Duster include&nbsp;redesigned dual-tone&nbsp;alloy wheels, integrated spoiler, C-pillar-mounted rear door handles, and roof rails.</p>

<h2>New Renault Duster: Interior and Safety Suite</h2>

<p>Talking about the cabin, the Duster will see a complete overhaul with an emphasis on upgraded features. Notably, the new model will offer a dual-screen setup, consisting of a 10.1-inch infotainment display and a 7.0-inch instrument cluster. The centre console will be angled toward the driver, while the overall dashboard layout will remain familiar. The SUV will boast&nbsp;an Arkamys 3D sound system with six speakers, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, multiple drive modes (Snow, Eco, Off-road,&nbsp;Mud/Sand,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Normal), and automatic climate control.</p>

<p>When it comes to safety, expect the Duster to offer&nbsp;multiple airbags, a 360-degree camera, ABS with EBD, and ESC (electronic stability control). Furthermore, functions like&nbsp;object detection,&nbsp;lane change warning,&nbsp;traffic sign recognition with speed alert,&nbsp;and automatic emergency braking will likely come with the&nbsp;car's&nbsp;ADAS suite.&nbsp;</p>

Additionally, a mild hybrid option is offered with two of these engines. It remains to be seen whether the carmaker&nbsp;will offer all these engine variants in the local model.</p>

<h2>New Renault Duster: India Launch and Rivals</h2>

<p>The third-generation Renault Duster will enter&nbsp;our home&nbsp;market soon, followed by its&nbsp;three-row variant. The regular version is expected to launch in the latter half of next year, while the three-row model is expected to&nbsp;arrive&nbsp;in 2026.

New Renault Duster Spied Testing in India Ahead of Launch, Shows Dual-tone Alloy Wheels and More

Upon launch in India, the 2025 Renault Duster will compete with the Volkswagen Taigun, Hyundai Creta, MG Astor, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. 

<p>The Dacia Bigster has made its global debut. First introduced as a concept in 2021, it is expected to launch in India as the Renault Duster, addressing the rising demand for spacious SUVs. The Bigster and Duster will share lot of components, including body panels, dashboard, seats, and other mechanical parts. While the official engine options are yet to be confirmed, it's likely to feature the same 1.2-litre and 1.6-litre turbo petrol engines, providing a balance of performance and efficiency. Its design, features, and versatility are expected to appeal strongly to Indian families seeking comfort, space, and capability.</p>

<h2>Renault Bigster: Exterior</h2>

<p>The Dacia Bigster combines a sleek design with a strong off-road presence. Its front resembles the Dacia Duster, with sharp LED headlights featuring Y-shaped accents. Unlike the Duster, the Bigster removes the lower grille's plastic cladding for a cleaner look. Fog lights are integrated into the bumper, and a silver skid plate adds to its rugged feel.</p>

<p><img alt="Renault Duster based Dacia Bigster Side Profile" src="/uploads/2024/10/Renault-Duster-Dacia-Bigster-Side.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>From the side, the Bigster stands out with up to 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, hexagonal wheel arches, and black body cladding. Turn indicators are built into the side mirrors, and the rear door handles are positioned on the C-pillar. Silver roof rails and an optional black roof add style and versatility. At the rear, V-shaped LED tail lights, "Dacia" lettering, a carbon-fibre strip, and a sturdy rear bumper with a lighter skid plate complete the bold design.</p>

<h2>Renault Bigster: Interior and Features</h2>

<p>The Dacia Bigster offers a modern, eco-friendly interior with a sleek grey and black dual-tone design. Its layout, similar to the Duster, features a 10.1-inch driver-focused touchscreen and a 10-inch digital instrument cluster. Comfort and convenience are enhanced with a premium sound system, panoramic sunroof, and dual-zone climate control.</p>

<p>The driver's seat is electrically adjustable with manual lumbar support, and the centre armrest includes cooled storage, charging options, and rear AC vents. The second-row bench seat has a 40:20:40 split for flexibility, with adjustable headrests for all seats. The middle seat can also fold down to serve as an armrest with cup holders.</p>

<p>Globally, the Bigster offers 667 litres of cargo space, but the Indian version is expected to have a third row, reducing the trunk capacity slightly. For safety, it comes with multiple airbags, a rear parking camera, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) like automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.</p>

<h2>Dacia Bigster: Powertrain</h2>

<p>At about 4,600mm in length which makes it&nbsp;300mm longer than the Duster, the Bigster will be Dacia's flagship vehicle. The seven-seat Bigster&nbsp;is expected to get three engine options under its hood –&nbsp;a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol-hybrid, a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol-hybrid, and a 1.0-litre petrol-LPG variant (in some markets). Like its five-seat counterpart, the Bigster will likely come with a&nbsp;front-wheel-drive setup and an optional all-wheel-drive system, depending on the market. Terrain modes (Auto, Snow, Mud/Sand, off-road, and Eco) are also on the cards.</p>

<h2>Dacia Bigster: Features</h2>

<p>On the inside as well, the seven-seat Bigster&nbsp;will likely mimic the Duster. Expected interior bits include&nbsp;steering-wheel-mounted controls,&nbsp;a large infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, an electrically adjustable driver seat,&nbsp;auto-dimming IRVM, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera, and an ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite.</p>

Renault Duster-based Three-row Bigster Teased Ahead of Global Debut at Paris Motor Show 2024

The Dacia Bigster SUV will be 300mm longer than the five-seat Renault Duster, making it the company's flagship vehicle.

<p>As you are well aware, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/renault/">Renault</a> is working toward bringing its&nbsp;new-generation Renault Duster SUV to the Indian market. The SUV could hit&nbsp;Indian roads sometime in 2025. Ahead of that, spy images of the seven-seat Duster have surfaced online, previewing what the production-spec SUV could look like. The seven-seat model will initially go on sale in the international market, with the Indian market to follow at a later date. It will likely be called the Renault Bigster upon arrival in our market.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the spy images, the Renault Bigster seems to borrow&nbsp;design cues from the five-seat Duster; however, one can expect the seven-seat SUV to pack in additional features to justify what will likely be a higher price tag. The upcoming Bigster SUV&nbsp;is expected to have rugged, chunky styling while retaining its overall&nbsp;silhouette. While the front fascia is partly visible, a good look at the images reveals its slim LED headlamps&nbsp;with integrated LED daytime running lights. In profile, the car seems to sport pillar-mounted door handles, squared-off wheel arches, and black alloys. Other elements include C-shaped LED taillamps, a shark-fin antenna, and an extended roof spoiler.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="7 Seat Renault Duster Interior " src="/uploads/2024/06/7-seat-Renault-Duster-Interior-res-.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>On the inside as well, the seven-seat Bigster&nbsp;will likely mimic the Duster. Expected interior bits include&nbsp;steering-wheel-mounted controls,&nbsp;a large infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, an electrically adjustable driver seat,&nbsp;auto-dimming IRVM, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera, and an ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Renault Bigster: Platform, Powertrain</h2>

<p>The&nbsp;Renault Bigster sits on the same&nbsp;CMF-B platform as the Duster. At about 4,600mm in length, the Bigster is 300mm longer than the five-seat Duster. Under the hood, the new seven-seat SUV is expected to get three engine options&nbsp;–&nbsp;a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol-hybrid, a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol-hybrid, and a 1.0-litre petrol-LPG variant (in some markets).

7-seat Renault Duster Spotted Testing Abroad, Shows C-shaped Tail-lamps, Floating Infotainment Screen and More

The seven-seat Renault Bigster will arrive only after the five-seat Duster has made its way to the Indian market. In the segment, the Bigster will rival the likes of the Mahindra XUV700, MG Hector Plus, and Tata Safari. 

<p>With the launch&nbsp;of the&nbsp;new generation Duster SUV inching closer, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/renault/">Renault</a> continues&nbsp;to create&nbsp;a buzz&nbsp;in the quick-paced Indian automotive sector. There is no doubt that the major car manufacturers with their slew of slated&nbsp;debuts&nbsp;are being more aggressive to satisfy consumer demand as the market for compact and mid-size SUVs keeps&nbsp;expanding day by day.&nbsp;Based on the Bigster concept, Renault's sister brand Dacia unveiled the updated model last year, and thanks to leaked photos, the Renault-badged Duster has now gained prominence.&nbsp;With several&nbsp;recent&nbsp;images providing a sneak peek into&nbsp;the styling cues&nbsp;and functionality&nbsp;of this&nbsp;much-anticipated offering, the&nbsp;enthusiasm surrounding its&nbsp;release has grown significantly. The 2024 iteration of the car&nbsp;is expected to arrive on Indian shores by the end of this year.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 Renault Duster: Exterior Design</h2>

<p><img alt="2024 Renault Duster Rear and Side Profile" src="/uploads/2024/02/2024-Renault-Duster-rear-quarter.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The 2024 Duster is built on the adaptable CMF-B platform, that&nbsp;also underpins models&nbsp;like&nbsp;the Sandero, the Logan, and the Jogger. This chassis allows the SUV to be electrified while also improving space for passengers and cargo. Design-wise, the front fascia of the India-bound Duster has the most apparent alterations from the international version&nbsp;due to variations in the grille portion and LED headlight characteristics. Furthermore, the alloy wheels' designs vary as well between them. However, there are no changes made to the bumpers, skid plates, Y-shaped LED tail lamps, tailgate, or bonnet structure.</p>

<p>The SUV maintains its traditional dimensions, measuring 4,343 mm in length and 2,657 mm in wheelbase, despite these cosmetic changes, guaranteeing that the Duster's sturdy and roomy appearance is retained.</p>

<h2>2024 Renault Duster: Expected Powertrain Options</h2>

<p>Three petrol units&nbsp;will likely be available under the hood. First up is a 1.6-litre petrol mill&nbsp;coupled to two electric motors and an automated gearbox. It will probably churn out 140bhp of maximum power and 148Nm of torque. The second is a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, mildly hybrid mill&nbsp;with numerous driving modes and output ranging between 110bhp and 160bhp. It&nbsp;is coupled to a 48-volt electric motor and&nbsp;comes with a six-speed AT or a six-speed manual transmission. The last engine is a three-cylinder turbocharged petrol/LPG compatible engine paired&nbsp;with a six-speed manual transmission; this unit&nbsp;is unlikely to be introduced in India.</p>

<h2>2024 Renault Duster:&nbsp;Interior and Features</h2>

<p><img alt="2024 Renault Duster Interior" src="/uploads/2024/02/2024-Renault-Duster-interior.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The equipment list and shared technology are among the other internal similarities, which are derived from the Dacia Bigster concept. A big 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an advanced 7-inch digital instrument cluster will be standard in higher-spec variants, providing a contemporary and connected driving experience. The feature set further comprises&nbsp;wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility,&nbsp;a grey and black interior theme, a Y-shaped trim to the new HVAC vents,&nbsp;automatic climate control, a fresh&nbsp;flat-bottom steering wheel with mounted controls, and multiple airbags.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 Renault Duster: Potential Competitors</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2024-hyundai-creta-review-sands-of-time-115877/">Hyundai Creta</a> and the Kia Seltos are two vehicles that the 2024 Renault Duster will go up against when it launches in India. There will probably be a 7-seater variant of the SUV as well. It will compete against rivals such as the Tata Safari, the&nbsp;Hyundai Alcazar, and the MG Hector Plus in this configuration.&nbsp;The India-spec&nbsp;Duster, in contrast to its European equivalent, would be produced at the Chennai-based Renault Nissan plant.&nbsp;</p>

India-bound 2024 Renault Duster Leaked, Shows New 'Renault' Badge, Rectangular LED Headlamps and More

The 2024 Renault Duster is built on the adaptable CMF-B platform, that also underpins models like the Sandero, the Logan, and the Jogger. The SUV is expected to come with three engine options.

<p>The third-generation Renault Duster&nbsp;is expected to hit&nbsp;Indian roads&nbsp;in 2025. Renault-owned Dacia took the wraps off the latest iteration of the Duster&nbsp;on November 29, 2023. The new SUV will go on sale in Europe in&nbsp;early 2024, after which it will head to India. To refresh your memory, Renault&nbsp;India stopped the production of the first-generation Duster nearly&nbsp;ten&nbsp;years after it was launched in July 2012.&nbsp;With its rugged design, supple ride, and powerful diesel engine, the Renault Duster received a strong response, with almost 40,000 units retailed in its first year of production. It was given&nbsp;several mechanical updates over the years, with the last being&nbsp;the introduction of the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine (with an optional CVT gearbox) to the Duster’s line-up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In its latest form, the Dacia Duster, as referred to&nbsp;in some international markets, features&nbsp;a new platform, exterior and interior upgrades, and&nbsp;three powertrain options. While the price announcement of the mid-size SUV&nbsp;is yet to happen, here's all you need to know ahead of its expected India launch:</p>

Expect the company to offer&nbsp;1.0-litre turbo-petrol and 1.2-litre mild-hybrid drivetrains with the India-bound Duster.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The new SUV comes&nbsp;in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations, but only&nbsp;with a 1.2-litre mild hybrid powertrain. Speaking of wheel drives, the Duster AWD&nbsp;gets terrain modes, including&nbsp;Auto, Snow, Mud/Sand, off-road and Eco. Other bits include hill-descent control and a multimedia screen for all off-road-related information, including inclination and power distribution between the front and rear.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Renault Duster: Platform, Exterior&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Unlike the original Duster, the new-generation SUV sits on the&nbsp;Renault-Nissan Alliance’s modular CMF-B platform that will be localised for the Indian market. Measuring 4,340mm in length, the new Duster retains its rugged stance, with a sculpted bonnet, squared-off wheel arches, and body cladding.</p>

<p>Up front, the SUV gets Y-shaped LED DRLs, a slim grille with chrome inserts, wide air intakes on the front bumper, and circular fog lamps. In profile, it features&nbsp;new 18-inch blacked-out alloy wheels and a&nbsp;blacked-out vertical 'shadow line' below the mirrors. At the rear are Y-shaped&nbsp;LED taillights, a revised bumper, a split roof spoiler,&nbsp;a silver faux skid plate, and C-pillar-mounted door handles.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Renault Duster: Interior, Safety Kit</h2>

<p><img alt="Renault Duster Interior" src="/uploads/2023/11/Dacia-Renault-Duster-Interior.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Inside, the new Duster sports a&nbsp;10.1-inch touchscreen&nbsp;with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto,&nbsp;a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, AC vents with Y-shaped inserts, a&nbsp;multi-function three-spoke steering wheel,&nbsp;ventillated front seats,&nbsp;a 6-speaker Arkamys 3D audio system, a wireless phone charger,&nbsp;automated climate control,&nbsp;cruise control, and two USB-C ports.</p>

<p>In terms of safety, the refreshed Duster comes with&nbsp;an electronic parking brake, airbags, electronic stability control, hill start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and an advanced driver assistance system.</p>

<p>According to market reports, the new Duster will have a three-row counterpart named the Bigster SUV. It is expected to make its global debut early next year. For now, let's take a closer look at the potential characteristics of the upcoming Duster SUV.</p>

<h2>New-gen Renault Duster SUV: Styling</h2>

<p>The Dacia Bigster concept, which debuted in early 2021, will reportedly serve&nbsp;as the inspiration for the new Renault Duster's design. In the earlier spy photos, the Duster bore some parallels to the Dacia Bigster Concept and had a boxy posture. Notable design features shown in these previous spy pictures included a streamlined bonnet design, Y-shaped tail lamps, squarish wheel arches, pull-type front door handles, rear door handles located on the C-pillar, and a layered spoiler. The spy pictures also showed that the Dacia Bigster concept and the spied model&nbsp;were similar&nbsp;in terms of the tailgate outline, rear bumper design, and number plate mounting location.</p>

<p>Currently, there are no updates available regarding the interior of the SUV. However, speculations are rife that the car will have a similar interior design to the Dacia Bigster concept version. It&nbsp;will presumably feature a wireless phone charger, a free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and more amenities.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New-gen Renault Duster SUV: Powertrain and Safety Equipment</h2>

<p>As previously mentioned, the automaker has not yet made any announcements regarding the drivetrain of the SUV. However, according to industry reports, the all-new Duster is expected to offer approximately three petrol engine options: a 1.0-litre&nbsp;turbo-petrol engine with 118bhp, a 1.2-litre petrol hybrid engine with 138bhp, and a 1.3-litre&nbsp;turbo-petrol flex-fuel engine with 168bhp.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the moment, we do not have any specific information about the safety features of the new SUV. However, it is expected to be equipped with six airbags, parking sensors, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Additionally, higher-end models of the SUV may also come with an ADAS functionality.</p>

New Renault Duster Global Debut on November 29; Here's What We Know So Far

The new-generation Renault Duster is expected to arrive on Indian shores in 2025. It will go head-to-head against the Hyundai Creta, the Kia Seltos, the Volkswagen Taigun, and other models in the segment.

<p>The Renault Duster SUV was spotted during the road test, and images of it leaked on the internet. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/renault/">Renault India</a> launched the first-generation model in 2013 and discontinued it in 2020. The company did not introduce the second-generation Duster here; it is currently available in other countries. For India, the third-generation SUV version is in the works, and the online road test images confirm the same. The Duster SUV will be made in-house, according to the firm. Renault-Nissan has set its future product strategy for India and intends to release three new models. An investment of Rs 4,000 crore (USD 500 million) has been reportedly made to support this new India product plan.&nbsp;According to recent industry reports, the new Duster will officially launch in India in 2025.&nbsp;Now with the first spy images, let's know more about this upcoming SUV.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Renault Duster: Exterior &amp; Interior&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Despite the highly camouflaged test mule, a few similarities to the Dacia Bigster concept are visible. The SUV will have Y-shaped tail lamps, squarish wheel arches, pull-type front door handles, rear door handles situated on the C-pillar, a layered spoiler, and a streamlined bonnet design. According to the spy shots, the tailgate outline, back bumper design, and number plate mounting location will be nearly identical to the Dacia Bigster concept, which debuted in early 2021. Given the side profile and rear section's striking likeness, the front fascia of the upcoming Renault may also significantly use design cues from the Dacia Bigster concept.</p>
