It should be pointed out that while the Brazil-spec model is in its second-generation, India still only gets the first-generation Renault Duster. There are plenty of differences between the two models, which we shall go through in brief here. The new Duster has a fresh interior design, including a new steering wheel, rectangular AC vents (instead of round ones), and a new dashboard layout. The instrument cluster also features a new design; it has two analogue dials on either side with a driver-information display (DID) in the middle, instead of a three-pot design with DID contained in the left-one.

Previously, there was a 1.5-litre diesel on offer as well, but that motor has now been discontinued due to the BSVI emission norms.
