Nissan confirms Duster & Triber-based models for India

The third-gen Duster will compete in the mid-size SUV space, which includes models like the Creta, Seltos, Hector, Kushaq, Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder.

Renault-Nissan has revealed its future product plan for India. Both carmakers will work together to introduce a range of products in the forthcoming years. These include the new Duster, a Triber-based MPV and an affordable EV.

The third-generation Renault Duster will be introduced in India by 2025. It will be based on the CMF-B modular platform and will come in 5 and 7-seater configurations. It will compete in the mid-size SUV segment, which includes models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Hector, Skoda Kushaq and the recently launched Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder.

It has also been reported that Nissan will offer a re-badged version of the Duster. As you may recall, Nissan has tried this strategy before. The Terrano was based on the 1st-gen Duster but wasn’t as successful as its stablemate. Besides this, the carmaker also plans to introduce its version of the Renault Triber. 

Renault and Nissan are drawing up plans for a product onslaught in the EV space as well. The brands are considering an entry-level EV based on the CMF-AEV platform.
