The highly-anticipated new-gen Duster finally breaks cover by Renault’s Romanian subsidiary, Dacia. It is expected to make its India debut probably in 2025. So here’s everything you need to know about this all-new Duster SUV.
2024 Renault Duster – Design and Dimensions
- Based on the BIGSTER concept, the 2024 Renault/Dacia Duster is underpinned by the brand’s CMF-B platform.

To start with, the production-spec Duster features a rugged front design dominated by LED lighting with Y-shaped DRLs connected by blade-shaped grille inserts. There’s also the muscular-looking bumper with a huge air curtain, and sporty scoop & muscular haunches on the hood, providing it a solid appeal.
- From the sides, the overall boxy proportions of the new Dacia Duster, along with its tapering window line, flared rear fender, squared-off wheel arches and chunky body cladding, convey an unmistakable message of robustness with a blend of sporty elegance.
- In harmony with the front design, the rear continues to feature a Y-motif in the LED tail lamps. Furthermore, the tapered window, butchy tailgate and chunky rear bumper continue to add ruggedness to its design.
- Dimensionally, it measures 4.34 meters in length, with the wheelbase standing at 2,657 mm.
