Renault Duster, which has been India’s favorite SUV for the past few years, is making a comeback once again. Renault will launch the SUV in a completely new avatar on January 26. So far, there have been many speculations regarding the looks and design of the new Duster. However, the company has released a new teaser of the SUV. The design of the SUV can be seen to a great extent in the new teaser.
Its teaser video shows the car getting LED taillights and the new Renault logo placed at the centre. The front also has daytime running lights. The SUV is presented in a memorable style in the video. It starts with children playing with toy dusters. After this, scenes of driving an old Duster model in mountains, rivers and waterfalls are shown. The video ends with a celebration by the Gangs of Duster community as a mix of nostalgia and adventure paves the way for Duster’s return in 2026.
