Renault is gearing up to refresh its lineup in the Indian market with the launch of three new cars over the next two years. This includes the highly anticipated Kiger facelift and the next-generation Duster, alongside another yet-to-be-revealed model. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
1. Renault Kiger Facelift
Expected Launch: 2025
The Kiger, Renault’s popular subcompact SUV, is due for a mid-life update. The facelift is expected to bring:
Refreshed exterior styling, including a new grille, updated headlights, and revised bumpers.
Updated interior with improved materials and possibly a larger touchscreen infotainment system.
Enhanced features like a digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
The engine options are likely to remain the same, including the 1.0L naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol engines.
2. Next-Gen Renault Duster
Expected Launch: 2025
The Duster, which was a game-changer in the compact SUV segment, is set to make a comeback in its third-generation avatar. The new Duster will be based on the CMF-B platform, which also underpins the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger.
It will feature a bold, rugged design inspired by the Dacia Bigster concept.
The interior is expected to be more premium, with modern features like a large touchscreen, connected car tech, and advanced safety features.
Engine options could include a 1.3L turbo-petrol engine and a hybrid variant to cater to the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.
3. Third Model (Yet to be Revealed)
Renault is also working on a third model, which could be a new product for the Indian market. Speculations suggest it might be:
A compact MPV or a mid-size SUV to compete with the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
Alternatively, it could be an electric vehicle (EV) as Renault is focusing on electrification globally.
