Renault India is making a bold comeback in the SUV game with the much-awaited New Renault Duster 2025. A once-iconic nameplate is now returning with next-gen tech, rugged new styling, modern interiors, and a powerful engine lineup.
Alongside this SUV revival, Renault is also updating the Kwid, Kiger, and Triber to deliver a full-force assault on India’s competitive car market.
Here’s a deep look into everything the New Renault Duster 2025 and Renault’s upcoming lineup have in store.
Return
The original Renault Duster was India’s mid-size SUV pioneer, known for its solid ride quality and macho looks. Now in 2025, it’s coming back stronger with a completely new platform—CMF-B. This global architecture ensures better safety, improved cabin space, and modern driving dynamics.
With rugged roots and a more premium edge, the new Duster combines the toughness we loved with the updates we demanded.
Design
Renault is giving the Duster a total makeover. Expect a meaner, bolder SUV that still keeps its off-road DNA intact.
- Full LED projector headlamps with Y-shaped DRLs
- Wide front grille with chrome
- Black cladding and chunky skid plates
- Roof rails, flared wheel arches
- Dual-tone color options and stylish alloy wheels
It’s bold, boxy, and unmistakably SUV—just what Indian roads love.
Cabin
Step inside and you’ll see how far the Duster has come. Renault has gone all out to blend ruggedness with refinement.
- 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Digital instrument cluster
- Automatic climate control
- Wireless phone charging
- Ambient lighting and premium seat fabric
Rear seat passengers get rear AC vents, flat floor, and ample legroom—making long drives comfortable for the whole family.
Engines
Renault is keeping it efficient yet powerful with two expected engine choices:
| Engine Type | Transmission | Expected Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 1.2L Turbo Petrol | Manual / CVT | Highway and city drives |
| 1.2L Turbo Mild-Hybrid | Manual / CVT / DCT | Efficient, eco-friendly |
The hybrid option is especially attractive for those looking to save fuel without sacrificing performance. Expect mileage to be competitive—close to or above 18–20 km/l for the hybrid.
Safety
Renault is putting safety front and center this time. The new Duster is expected to feature:
- Six airbags
- ABS with EBD
- ESC and Hill Start Assist
- Rear camera with dynamic guidelines
- TPMS and ISOFIX child seat mounts
That’s a solid safety list for an SUV expected to start around ₹10 lakh.
Triber
Also getting a glow-up is the Renault Triber. Known for being India’s most affordable 7-seater, the facelift will bring:
- LED headlamps
- New alloy wheels
- Refreshed dashboard
- Bigger infotainment system
- Connected car tech
Still compact, still budget-friendly—but now smarter and more stylish.
Kardian
The Renault Kardian is another new player joining the SUV family. Positioned between the Kiger and Duster, it’s a modern, urban SUV that features:
- Floating roof design
- LED lighting all around
- 1.0L turbo petrol engine
- 6 airbags, connected car tech
A great alternative to the Tata Nexon and Hyundai Venue.
Kwid
First-time buyers rejoice—the 2025 Kwid is getting a solid facelift:
- New LED DRLs
- Dual-tone color options
- 8-inch infotainment screen
- Reverse camera
- Digital instrument cluster
It keeps the same frugal 1.0L engine but looks and feels way more premium.
Kiger
Even the stylish Renault Kiger gets updated:
- Refreshed bumpers and LED tail-lamps
- Upgraded materials inside
- Larger touchscreen
- 1.0L NA and Turbo Petrol engines
It continues to rival the Brezza and Exter with its youth appeal and strong road presence.
