Renault India has confirmed that the Renault Duster facelift will be launched in the Indian market on February 4, during the second media day at the Auto Expo 2016. This is the first major facelift for the exterior of the India-spec Renault Duster, since it was introduced 3.5 years ago.
Spyshots of the pre-production model reveal that the India-spec Duster will look similar to the new Duster sold in Brazil. It gets updated taillight clusters, new alloy wheel designs and additionally could get some new body panels. The front-end receives a single slat grille flanked by headlamps with a new cluster design.
Inside, the design of the dashboard will be slightly revised. It will feature a new single piece center console panel that houses the round HVAC vents, central cubby hole, and MEDIANAV touchscreen display, while the HVAC controls are now separated from the main console. New fabric upholstery and updated buttons, display graphics are also expected.
