Renault has launched a petrol automatic variant of the Duster SUV in India. The Duster has always been a strong seller for the French car maker in India, but the diesel variant has been the mainstay of the Duster lineup. However, Renault now feels that there is sufficient demand for petrol variants. In order to bolster the Duster petrol lineup, Renault has introduced the Duster petrol automatic variant equipped with a CVT mated to a 1.5 L petrol. Renault Duster Petrol Automatic has been launched Rs. 10.32 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Read on to know more about the new Renault Duster Petrol CVT price, mileage and specifications.
Along with the introduction of the new petrol CVT variant, Renault has also added a new ‘Fiery Red’ colour to the Duster lineup. Also, the 1.5 L petrol engine powering the Duster automatic petrol has replaced the 1.6 L Petrol entirely. Which means even the petrol manual variants of the Duster are now powered by the 106 PS 1.5 L Petrol engine as well.
