Next-Gen Duster: According to rumours, Renault India will introduce the new generation Duster in 2024 as a result of an expenditure of up to $500 million USD that will help the company grow its domestic lineup. The Kwid, Triber, Kicks, and Kiger are presently available from the French manufacturer’s local range, and the CMF-B platform, which has a significant amount of local content, will soon be available. Renault is also anticipated to introduce a seven-seater SUV based on the Bigster prototype in addition to the brand-new Duster. In the distant future, an electric car might be created thanks to adaptable architecture. Nissan, a member of the partnership with Renault, will produce its own derivatives of the upcoming SUV lineup as part of their ongoing plan to achieve economies of scale.
About Next-Gen Duster
This Next-Gen Duster might be a comeback for Renault as their sales aren’t matching the top-selling brands of today.

Competitions
The Nissan Terrano was born from the Duster nameplate, which gave Renault a more upscale corporate image. Along with the Hyundai Creta, it can be credited with popularising the midsize SUV market as one of the early entrants. This time around, the new-generation Duster will compete against a number of competitors, including the MG Astor, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Renault stopped making the Duster in February 2022 after selling it for almost ten years. Only a few updates were approved for India, despite the five-seater receiving its second generation worldwide in 2017 under the Dacia brand. Before the arrival of the brand-new Duster, the business is anticipated to introduce models based on CBU over the course of the following year or so.
