Why the new Renault Duster 2015 is better

Renault India launched the new 2015 model of its SUV, Duster, on March 12. The car, priced starting Rs 8.30 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), created quite a stir in the auto circle. Check out what makes the new generation Duster different and better from its earlier version.

The new Renault Duster 2015 has more improvements in interiors as on the outside, the only upgrades come in mirrors and door handles.

Renault claims that the upgraded SUV has new, "edgy" additions in design, including premium leather upholstery and soft touch dashboard. The 3-spoke streering wheel adds to the car's sporty look.

"The 2015 Duster FWD also comes with a new instrument cluster, cruise control, new steering column and speed-sensitive door locks," writes Autocar India. Moreover, as Renault puts it, Duster is a SUV that marries the comfort of a sedan to the rugged protection of an off-roader.

The SUV, which comes in both diesel and petrol variants, gives improved mileage on diesel, according to CarBlogIndia. The new Eco mode, Renault claims, gives further improved fuel economy of 10 per cent.
