Renault has slashed the price of some variants of Duster Facelift. It is going to discontinue its diesel engines soon and that’s why the price cut.
Renault recently launched the Duster facelift which got cosmetic upgrades and some minor revisions inside the cabin. This is the third facelift that the SUV has received since it was launched in India, back in 2012.
Soon, Renault is going to discontinue its diesel engines owing to the BS6 norms. So, the lovable Duster and Captur will be sold only with petrol engines post-April. As per the government rules, a manufacturer cannot even sell a BS4 car after the deadline kicks in.
To quickly clear its inventory, Renault has reduced the prices of the Duster facelift. The price cut is subject to only three variants – RXS 85PS, RXS 110PS and RXS 110PS AWD. These three variants are probably the least-selling ones in the range.

To further increase the sales of Duster, Renault is planning to offer another petrol engine which will be BS6 compliant. It will be a turbo-petrol motor paired with manual as well as the CVT gearbox. Since the Duster is a well-known SUV in the off-roading circle, its torquey diesel engine will be missed by a lot of enthusiasts.
