Renault Mini Duster
Renault is preparing a brand new sub-four-metre SUV for India, which is being called “Mini Duster” in the industry. This SUV will be positioned under the upcoming New Generation Duster, but its stance will be completely different in terms of design. Mini Duster will adopt a more straightforward, square and muscular style, leaving a soft and round look like Kiger.
Talking about the engine, it is expected to get the same 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine, which is seen in Kiger right now. Both manual and CVT gearbox options can be found. If you look at the launch timeline, this SUV can be seen on the roads in the next year i.e. 2026.
