From the name, it's clear that the Sandero Black Touch is nothing but a Sandero Laureate with pearlescent black accents, body-colored bumpers, and 15-inch alloys exclusive to the special edition. Like the exterior, the interior also features pearlescent black trim and optional tech like cruise control and a MEDIA NAV infotainment system.

The Duster Air features altimeter graphics that draws inspiration from aviation. Exclusive touches include front/rear skid plates, Imperial yellow side view mirrors, tinted rear windows and 16-inch alloy rims finished in a dark tone.
