The legendary Renault Duster is making a powerful return in 2025, fully redesigned and packed with modern features. Once the SUV that started India’s compact SUV wave, the new Duster is back with bolder styling, strong turbocharged engines, and tech-loaded interiors ready to challenge the current kings like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Tata Harrier.
Bold New Exterior Inspired by Dacia Bigster
The 2025 Renault Duster draws its rugged design from the Dacia Bigster concept boxy, bold, and unmistakably SUV. It features Y-shaped LED DRLs, squared wheel arches, a muscular front grille, and roof rails that enhance its off-road-ready persona. With a higher ground clearance and tough stance, it looks ready to conquer both highways and hill roads.
Modern Interior with Big-Screen Tech
Inside, the new Duster gets a major upgrade with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, fully digital driver display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, connected car tech, and a premium audio system. The dual-tone dashboard, improved seat comfort, and spacious cabin make it more appealing to both families and adventurers.
Petrol, Turbo & Hybrid Options with AWD
The upcoming Duster is expected to offer 1.5L petrol, 1.3L turbo-petrol, and even a hybrid powertrain option internationally. In India, the turbo-petrol version could produce around 150PS, paired with a 6-speed manual or CVT. A diesel engine may return later, and an AWD variant could cater to off-road lovers, reviving the true Duster DNA.
Segment-First Features and ADAS
Renault is expected to equip the 2025 Duster with Level-2 ADAS, including adaptive cruise control, lane assist, emergency braking, and more. Along with 6 airbags, ESC, hill assist, 360° camera, and TPMS it aims to become one of the safest SUVs in its price band.
Expected Price and India Launch Timeline
Renault plans to launch the new-gen Duster in late 2025, with pricing expected to start around ₹10.5 lakh and go up to ₹17–18 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top turbo-petrol/Hybrid AWD variants. It will directly rival the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Toyota Hyryder but with a tougher edge and iconic brand recall.
Conclusion: The 2025 Renault Duster is not just a comeback it’s a rebirth. With bold styling, turbocharged power, modern interiors, and ADAS tech, it’s set to win hearts all over again. If priced right, this could be the most exciting SUV launch of the year.
