Renault Duster 2025 : Once a trailblazer in India’s compact SUV segment, the Renault Duster is back with a bang. After a significant hiatus, Renault has officially reintroduced the iconic Duster in an all-new avatar, aiming to reclaim its place in the competitive SUV market currently dominated by models like the Hyundai Creta and Mahindra Scorpio.

The rear continues the theme with Y-shaped LED tail lamps, giving the SUV a dynamic road presence.
