DELHI: Renault India launched the new generation Duster priced at Rs 8.30 lakh. The new range boasts of superior engineering, all-new safety and comfort features and improved fuel efficiency, made possible by several technical and design enhancements, the company said in a statement.
The New Generation Duster is also built to be compatible with future regulation and its high ground clearance of 205mm adds to the practicality of the SUV. The new generation Duster price range starts at Rs 8.30 lakh, it added.

Driving in the ECO mode delivers up to 10% higher fuel economy by balancing power and torque delivery in the vehicle, said Renault.
Renault created an all new segment in the Indian automotive industry with Duster, which has continued to dominate the Indian roads selling over one lakh units in India since launch. Built with all the features and luxuries of a premium vehicle at an outstanding value proposition, Duster has been appreciated as much for its futuristic design cues, as it has for successfully combining the comfort and sophistication of a sedan and the robust ruggedness of an SUV.
