The Renault Duster 2025 is ready to make its comeback in a completely new avatar. Known as one of the most popular compact SUVs, the new generation Duster is built on the CMF-B modular platform, making it stronger, safer and more advanced. The design, interior and features are all updated to match modern SUV standards, while still carrying the rugged DNA of the original Duster.
Exterior Design
The new Duster gets a bold and muscular design inspired by the Dacia Bigster concept. The front fascia is dominated by Y-shaped LED headlamps and LED DRLs, giving it a sharp and modern look. The rear also features Y-shaped LED tail lamps with a wide stance and tough bumper. The squared wheel arches, thick body cladding, roof rails and 209 mm ground clearance give the SUV a true adventure-ready appearance.
Interior and Features
Inside the cabin, Renault has given the 2025 Duster a complete makeover. It now comes with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driver gets a 7-inch digital display for a modern driving experience. The materials are premium and the seats are designed for better comfort. Features like automatic climate control, ambient lighting, connected car technology, push start button and multiple airbags make the interior more advanced. Higher variants are expected to offer ADAS features including lane keep assist, emergency braking and traffic sign recognition.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Renault Duster will be offered with multiple powertrain options. The first is a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, producing around 130 horsepower. The second option is a strong hybrid version that uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine combined with electric motors, generating close to 138 horsepower. In some international markets, Renault will also provide a petrol-LPG variant. Both 2WD and 4×4 drive systems will be available, making the SUV suitable for city drives as well as off-road adventures.
Safety
Renault has improved the safety package in the new Duster. The SUV will come with six airbags, electronic stability control, hill start assist and traction control. ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning are also expected in top models. With these updates, the Duster aims to provide maximum protection for passengers.
India Launch and Price
The new Renault Duster 2025 is expected to arrive in the Indian market around 2025 or early 2026. The starting price is likely to be around ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant, while higher trims with hybrid technology and 4×4 capability will cost more. This time, Renault will not bring a diesel engine option and will focus only on petrol and hybrid versions.
Conclusion
The Renault Duster 2025 combines the ruggedness of the original Duster with modern design, powerful engines and advanced features. With a strong road presence, improved interiors and hybrid technology, it is expected to become one of the most competitive SUVs in its segment once it launches in India.
