The middle grade of the new Renault Duster is arguably the most appealing one for customers seeking great value for money
The new Renault Duster is loaded to the brim with premium features and is the most performance-focused model in its segment. The new mid-size SUV offers great value, particularly in its middle trim – Evolution.
Both on the outside and inside, the mid-range grade includes a host of premium features for comfort, connectivity, safety, and styling. Eco LED headlamps, a DUSTER-branded grille emblem, 17-inch ‘Ocean’ alloy wheels, and connected LED tail lamps are among the key features on the outside.
Roof rails, prominent wheel arch cladding and door mouldings, and skid plates lend the Duster Evolution a rugged look, while bringing added functionality. The roof rails offer a 50 kg load capacity for carrying adventure gear or extra luggage. Rear wiper, washer, and defogger are also included.
