The Renault Duster was one of the first compact SUVs to be launched in the Indian market back in 2012, instantly becoming a best-seller. It utterly dominated the segment for a few years. But as newer rivals started arriving to make the compact SUV market one of the most competitive and fastest-growing segments, the Duster lagged behind. It received a minor facelift a few years back, and last year it ditched its diesel engine for a choice of two petrol engines to meet the new BS-VI compliance. Even though it may not have as long a feature list as its rivals, the Duster is still a hugely capable vehicle with a handsome and rugged exterior along with a spacious and high-quality cabin. Currently, Renault is offering the Duster with multiple attractive discounts which you should take a look at.
