2015 Renault Duster gets additional features

Renault has given the two-wheel drive Duster SUV some additional features for 2015, some of which have been carried over from the AWD version of the car.

While the exterior of the Duster is unchanged, the interior has been given some updates. There is a soft touch dashboard, a new instrument cluster with a new multi information display with service reminders and a gearshift indicator and an arm rest. The Duster also gets an ECO mode feature, cruise control and speed limiter, new steering column and a speed-sensitive door lock. The fabric upholstery is new and better noise insulation.

The Duster continues to use the same 1.5-litre diesel engine in 108 bhp and 84 bhp guises as the outgoing model. Renault claims that it has tweaked it for improved fuel efficiency. The 108 bhp version delivers an average of 19.64 kpl, while the 84 bhp variant returns 19.87 kpl. The 1.6-litre, 103 bhp petrol engine has also been carried over from the old car.

Prices for the 2015 Duster range start at Rs. 8.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
