New Gen Renault Duster Images Leaked: Dacia Duster Sibling
Leaked images show a distinct departure from its previous form, particularly in the front. A bold new grille takes center stage, ditching the familiar rhombus emblem for a more modern Renault badge. Despite the cosmetic overhaul, the Duster retains its familiar dimensions, measuring 4343mm long with a 2657mm wheelbase.
2025 Renault Duster: Interior And Expected Features
Stepping inside, the 2025 Renault Duster's resemblance to its Dacia sibling continues. The layouts are near-identical, save for the Renault logo on the three-spoke steering wheel. The interior of the new Renault Duster offers a finely crafted and enveloping atmosphere, highlighted by a prominent 3-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel. Sharing features with its sibling, the Dacia Duster, the cabin will come equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster and a sizable infotainment screen. Octagonal aircon vents adorned with Y-shaped clusters can be seen here as well..
Meanwhile a dark all-black theme adds a touch of premium appeal while maintaining practicality. Matching up to its rivals, the Duster will offer technological advancements like wireless charging and automatic climate control among its array of features.

Powertrain
The 2025 Duster boasts a trio of petrol engines across various markets. The headliner is a 1.6-liter petrol-hybrid setup, delivering 140bhp and 24.5 km/l mileage, paired with an automatic gearbox and electric motors. Next, a 1.2-liter turbo petrol with mild-hybrid tech offers between 110bhp and 160bhp, featuring the option for both manual and automatic transmissions and, crucially, exclusive access to 4x4 with driving modes.
Finally, a three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox rounds out the options, though its arrival in India seems unlikely.
India Launch And Rivals
Renault Duster is all set to launch in India in early 2025. The production will be done in India at the Chennai plant. It will pose as a major threat to the sales of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, and other SUVs in the segment.
Verdict
The iconic Renault Duster is gearing up for a 2025 comeback in India! Leaked images reveal a modernized exterior with a bold new grille, while the interior closely resembles its Dacia cousin. While its global engine lineup offers exciting possibilities, specific details for India remain under wraps. Will this familiar yet potentially tech-savvy Duster reclaim its former glory?
