Renault Duster is a product, which helped Renault to establish the brand in the country and the demand of the 4 wheel drive version of the car was there for a long time. Now, it's the right time to launch the 4X4 version of the SUV as the sales of the Duster is being affected by EcoSport and Terrano. The 4WD version of the car is already on sales in the European markets, where it is being sold under the Dacia Duster badge. There the 4WD version is available on both petrol and the 110PS diesel version of the car, but in India they might launch the car in the diesel version only. The 4X4 version of the Duster comes with a superior ground clearance of 210mm, which is largest in its segment. The 4x4 Duster will ignite a direct competition with the likes of Mahindra Scorpio, XUV500 and Safari Storme. It is early to comment about the pricing, but there will be a subtle difference between the two versions for sure.

Stay tuned with us for more updates on the same.
