Although the second-generation model didn’t make its way to us, anticipation brews for the arrival of the third generation, expected around 2025. The leaked design images offer a glimpse of what’s in store.
The forthcoming third-generation Duster, to be unveiled by Dacia, Renault’s subsidiary, on November 29th, 2024, in Portugal, is anticipated to hit the Indian market around 2025 under the Renault brand.

The front fascia sports a flat bonnet with a unified black element housing the headlights and integrated DRLs.
A bull bar-inspired bumper insert and a prominent silver faux skid plate add to its robust aesthetics.

Notably, there’s a striking resemblance to Renault’s Bigster concept.

The enhanced rear silver element and a more pronounced split roof spoiler draw attention, reminiscent of the Kiger’s rear—a detail that hardly disappoints. Additionally, the rear door handles seem repositioned on the C-pillars rather than in their usual location.
Regarding powertrains, various rumors swirl around potential options for the upcoming Duster, keeping enthusiasts guessing. Details about features remain undisclosed, hinting at a concise brochure that could help keep costs competitive. More comprehensive information is expected to be unveiled tomorrow, on November 29th.
