Renault has made quite some noticeable changes on the India-spec Duster compared to the European model.

Among these are the redesigned headlights with eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs that double up as turn indicators.

The bonnet is very sculpted, and there's a big 'Duster' badge on the grille instead of a Renault logo.

The rear end gets connected LED tail lamps and rugged-looking bumper.

The front bumper features a protruding silver surround like the first-generation model, and there are pixel-shaped fog lamps on both sides of the bumper.

A few unique details exclusive to the India-spec model are the Himalayan motifs on the front fenders and a yellow strip on the body cladding with ‘Iconic’ inscribed on it.

At the back, the license plate bracket gets a unique textured finish.

The Duster will be available with alloy wheels of up 18-inches.

Overall, the design is quite butch and rugged, just the original Duster was.

Renault has finally unveiled the new Duster in India, bringing back an iconic nameplate that birthed the midsize SUV segment in the country.

The India-spec Duster looks more rugged and butch, replete with beefier bumpers, generous body cladding all around, and most importantly, the name ‘Duster’ spelt big and boldly on the grille. There are a few unique details like the Himalayan motif on the front fenders, and the yellow strip on the body cladding with ‘Iconic’ inscribed on it that are also unique to the India-spec model. The Duster also has a generous 212mm of ground clearance, which will be handy on our roads. It will be available with a choice ot two turbo-petrol and one strong-hybrid petrol engine option.
