Along with this new engine, the old 1.5-litre petrol motor will continue to power the Renault Duster. Besides the addition of the new engine, the Duster will also get some minor styling updates. Renault Duster with the turbocharged engine will differentiate itself from the non-turbocharged version with red accents in place and with slightly different fog light housings. Just like the version showcased at the Auto Expo, the new Duster will get a red logo, thicker roof rails and less cladding on the rear end. This version will be available with some standard exterior features including projector headlights, roof rails and more.
