The Duster has been a huge success for Renault India, in fact it is their highest selling model by far. We here at autoX like the Duster for many reasons. And the fact that Renault keeps introducing some nice editions of the Duster helps spruce up its appeal. In 2014, Renault brought along the Adventure Edition of the Duster with some nice styling cues.
Now just ahead of the festive season in 2015, here comes the latest spruced up Duster, the limited edition Renault Duster Explore. The Renault Duster Explore edition gets a dose of fresh styling cues to set it apart.
At the front, the smoked head lamps that are complimented by a dark chrome grille. There is a skid plate at the bottom centre of the bumper, there is also a faux bull bar built into the bumper, housing two additional lamps. There are even racing stripes running over the car and decals along the side profile of the SUV. The B and D-pillars are now matt black in colour and the trim over the license plate holder is now finished in dark chrome as well. Completing the sporty exterior styling details of the Duster explore edition are the dark anthracite alloy wheels that get orange highlights in the centre.
There is more orange inside the car too, as the door trim, seat fabrics get the nouveau orange inserts as well while the gear lever gaiter and steering wheel leather get orange stitching. Even the air conditioning vents get orange outlines. And it does not stop there either as the instrument cluster is anodized orange as well. The foot mats are Duster branded and have orange outlines too.
