Renault Duster
The Renault Duster, launched in 2012, was a groundbreaking midsize SUV that significantly boosted Renault's presence in the Indian market, even surpassing the recognition of the Renault Diamond badge.
The video celebrates the Duster's legacy by showcasing all the variants available in India, including petrol, diesel, all-wheel drive, and the final 1.3 turbo petrol with CVT.
The presenter highlights the Duster's ride comfort and performance, particularly praising the 1.6L petrol engine for its refinement and sporty sound, despite the general preference for diesel variants among consumers.
The Duster's initial success led to a rapid increase in production, tripling from 7 to 20 units per hour due to high demand shortly after its launch.
The video discusses Renault India's missed opportunity in not introducing more generations of the Duster, reflecting on the brand's decline in popularity after 2016 due to strategic missteps.
