All-new Renault Duster is being offered with dual-fuel (gasoline + LPG), strong hybrid and mild-hybrid powertrain options

In the news for several months, Renault Duster has finally made its global debut. Turkey is the first market where the new-gen Renault Duster is now available for sale. The reason for starting with Turkey is that Renault is using its Turkish plant as the primary production hub for new-gen Duster.

New-gen Renault Duster – Styling and features

When compared to Dacia Duster, the new Renault Duster has some slight variations in styling and features. This is especially true for the front fascia. For example, Renault Duster utilizes an original radiator grille. The rhombus shaped logo has been replaced with ‘RENAULT’ lettering in bold. Dimensionally, both the Dacia Duster and Renault Duster are largely the same. Renault Duster is 4,343 mm long and has a wheelbase of 2,658 mm. Ground clearance of Dacia and Renault versions are in the range of 209 to 217 mm.
