Some time ago, a test mule of the next gen Renault Duster was spotted doing the rounds. Recently, a digitally rendered image of the next generation Duster, also known as Dacia Duster in some markets, surfaced on the internet and exhibits the fascia of the new compact SUV from the French manufacturer.
The rendered image displays the front end which has been restyled with sleeker headlamps and chrome highlights in the grille. The air dam is reworked with the skid plate and the fog lamps are larger than before. The compact SUV continues to carry the flared wheel arches and the roof rail. However, the side profile now exhibits a newly-designed rocker panel. The rear end of the SUV is expected to be restyled as well and the cabin is also likely to be revised with addition of a few more features.
The Duster received its midlife update in early 2015 and it is highly anticipated that the French manufacturer will spawn the new generation of the compact SUV in the Indian market early next year. The next generation is expected to be based on a new platform and could be offered with tweaks in the powertrain.
The next gen Duster is expected to be showcased at the Frankfurt motor show for the international market, as well as also at the 2018 Delhi Auto expo and could go on sale soon after it’s unveiling. The Renault Duster will continue to compete with the Nissan Terrano and the Hyundai Creta.
