Next-gen Renault Duster spied testing for the 1st time

The new-generation Duster is said to be jointly developed by Renault & Nissan, translating to a Nissan-branded version of the SUV as well.

The next-generation Renault Duster has been spotted testing for the first time. The spy images leaked online showcase the SUV undergoing road tests ahead of its international debut, expected sometime next year.

The new Renault Duster will be the third-generation iteration of the SUV internationally and will come with major updates, both inside and outside, compared to the outgoing model. The upcoming SUV will borrow its design language from the Dacia Bigster concept showcased in 2021.

While there are no images showing the front of the SUV, it is expected to feature slim LED headlamps with a flat bonnet. The side profile showcases the SUV carrying forward the squarish wheel arches, similar to the outgoing model. The new SUV will also get pull-type door handles at the front, while the rear door handles could be integrated into the C-pillar. The rear of the SUV will get C-shaped taillights, a large roof-mounted spoiler and roof racks.

The new-generation Duster is said to be jointly developed by Renault & Nissan, translating to a Nissan-branded version of the SUV as well. Reports also suggest the new-gen Duster could be offered in 5 and 7-seater configurations. The upcoming Renault Duster will be offered with an ICE powertrain, while some international markets will also get an EV version as well.

Renault has confirmed that it will bring back the Duster to India. Once introduced, the new-gen Duster will take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun & Skoda Kushaq, among others.
