Third-Generation Renault Duster Is Expected to Arrive in the Country Next Year with a New Platform and Unprecedented Design.

The New Renault Duster third generation is already making appearances here! Follower @gustavookawa captured an exclusive shot, published on journalist João Del Arco’s Instagram (@joao_delarco). The SUV was seen being transported on a truck’s platform, next to its smaller sibling, the Kardian, both heavily camouflaged.

Still without an official date from Renault, the expectation is that the SUV will arrive in Brazil next year, but at the latest by 2026. It’s worth noting that the utility vehicle, built on the CMF-B platform, is already available in Europe, both from Renault and Dacia.

The Third-Generation Renault Duster comes with the modular CMF-B platform from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, which supports electrification and hybrid versions. In Europe, for example, the model has a hybrid engine in two of the three different configurations.

The E-Tech version features a 1.6 four-cylinder gasoline engine combined with an electric motor that generates 145 hp. In addition, there is a 1.2 TCe turbo gasoline engine with 130 hp and a 48-volt mild hybrid system with 4×4 drive. The entry-level configuration, on the other hand, has a 1.0 TCe three-cylinder engine with 100 hp.

1.3 Flex-Fuel Turbo Engine

Here, it is likely to adopt the 1.3 flex-fuel turbo engine (developed in partnership with Mercedes-Benz), already used in the Duster and the Oroch pickup.

In terms of visuals, the New Renault Duster promises a modern update, resembling its larger sibling Bigster quite a lot. The SUV will feature LED lighting with horizontally laid “Y” shaped headlights and taillights.

The rear pillars will have a well-defined SUV style, and the rear door handles will be located on the windows. The design also features a large spoiler above the trunk lid. Internally, the model will have a 7-inch digital instrument panel and a 10.1″ multimedia center.

For those keeping an eye on news in the automotive market, the spy shot of the New Renault Duster couldn’t be more exciting. It remains to be seen whether it will win over Brazilians with its new design and cutting-edge technology. Let’s wait and see!
