If you are a person who is always ready to travel to new destinations, discover new and challenging roads, an SUV will be the perfect vehicle you would require. Considering the kind of terrains we have in India, it is very important to have a car, which can conquer different types of roads and make your driving experience enjoyable at the same time.

Renault’s popular SUV, the Renault Duster is one such vehicle that is designed to take you off-road. The Duster was recently upgraded with new design details and enhanced features, so that you can explore the roads unknown, effortlessly. Here’s what the new Duster has in store for you:

1. High ground clearance

Ground clearance is one of the most important factors people look for while buying an SUV as the vehicle’s handling is directly dependent on it. If your car has a high ground clearance, it makes sure that you are not getting any scratches on the vehicle’s bottom while driving on bumpy roads, ensuring you a smooth and steady drive. All the Duster variants except the RXS (O) AWD come with a ground clearance of 205 mm while the AWD variant comes with 210 mm ground clearance. This makes the car highly capable while traversing through different types of roads. Be it bumpy, uneven roads or rugged, off-roading terrains, your drive in the Duster will always be smooth.

2. Transmission options

The Renault Duster features three transmission options – Manual, AMT and CVT. The manual version comes with 5 gears and gives you the best drive even in traffic. The AMT version comes with India’s first Easy-R technology and 6 gears, which help in delivering a comfortable ride and offer superior mileage. In the AMT version, you can easily switch to the manual mode at any time, while on the drive. The X-tronic CVT version is designed to avoid shift-shock and deliver smooth acceleration. The CVT gearshift gives better stability on road and improves fuel efficiency.

3. Enhanced safety

When you are driving a Duster, safety can never be a compromise. Renault Duster features driver and passenger airbags as standard in all its variants. A few other safety features that are standard across variants are anti-lock braking system, EBD with brake assist, speed alert, driver and passenger seat belt reminder, etc. It also comes with hill-start assist and ESP that make driving effortless. Moreover, the reverse parking camera with guidelines helps you park with ease anywhere.

4. Advanced technology and comfort

The Duster comes with a 17.64 cm touchscreen mediaNAV evolution, which is integrated with Apple CarPlay, Android AutoTM and EcoGuide. This EcoGuide helps in monitoring the car’s driving patterns and provides guidelines so that you can enjoy a relaxed drive. The climate control in the car is fully automatic – It automatically adjusts the airflow inside the cabin and ensures the most comfortable temperature, every time.

Moreover, it comes with a spacious and illuminated cooled glove box that helps in accommodating all your personal belongings.

With all this and more, Duster comes at an affordable starting price of Rs. 7.99 lakh, so that you can get onto new and exciting adventures. The new, facelifted variant of the Duster has already grabbed attention of the experts and consumers alike. Now it’s your turn to go ahead and make the best choice by owning a brand new Duster before your next drive.
