Renault Duster 4x4 Launched

The French car maker has had tremendous success with the Duster, and now nearly two years since it was first launched in India, Renault has just  launched the all-wheel drive version of their best selling vehicle in the country. There is no design change in the vehicle except for new headlamps, a new alloy wheel design and the AWD decal that runs along the side of the car.

The interiors received the biggest change with a new three-pod instrument cluster, a sportier steering wheel, bright red and grey upholstery and a new centre console borrowed from the Duster Adventure Edition. The dashboard is now grey instead of the beige one available on the regular models. 

There is  a knob that will allow the driver to choose between front wheel-drive, an auto mode, and then the AWD mode. However, the Duster AWD will be available only in the diesel 108bhp  engine model, and will be mated to the same 6-speed manual transmission. 

The new AWD Duster carries a starting price tag of Rs 11.89 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
