The new Duster will combine its iconic heritage with modern design, advanced technology and enhanced performance,” said Stephane Deblaise, CEO, Renault Group India.
Globally, the Duster has close to 1.8 million customers, with more than 200,000 owners in India alone, earning a devoted following and cementing its status as one of Renault’s most successful SUVs.
