Overview
- Renault confirms a January 26 India debut for the third‑generation Duster featuring localized design on the CMF‑B platform.
- The India model is expected to offer a 10‑inch touchscreen, a digital driver display and ADAS, which would be a first for Renault in the market.
- Suppliers say sales are likely to begin in February with projected annual output of about 130,000–140,000 units from Renault’s southern India plant.
- Petrol engines are anticipated at launch with a localized hybrid powertrain under evaluation and no diesel return planned.
- The Duster anchors a €3 billion international plan that includes sourcing components in India, a Nissan Tekton derivative due mid‑2026, and pricing widely expected in the Rs 10–20 lakh band against Creta‑class rivals.
