International markets have now received the updated second-generation Duster. In the Indian market though, Renault seems to be concentrating on new products like the Triber and Kiger. The biggest USP of the Duster has always been its punchy diesel engine and ride quality and these have always made it a hit with Indian customers. Renault already has a proven product in its hands for India, all Renault India needs to do is, launch the facelift in India too, says Drivespark India.
