Sold in several international markets, Renault Duster has undergone a mid-cycle upgrade in Brazil. It may be recalled that while Brazil has the second-gen Duster, the Indian spec model (now in BS6 format) is a first-gen. Newly updated Brazil-spec Renault Duster comes with a range of styling upgrades, improved hardware and new features.
Second-gen Brazil-spec Duster has received a range of exterior updates that reflect the company's new design language. Changes that are easily evident at first glance include a new grille, refreshed headlights and tail lamps, and blacked-out bumpers with prominent faux skid plate. There's a pair of auxiliary lamps as well on the front bumper. It is not certain if these features would be introduced in all trims as a standard fitment.
Talking about its interiors, there are a few major changes here as well. The overall layout of the dashboard has been changed, and it now looks much more premium. Gone is the protruding plastic block from the doors, which housed the window buttons. The same has now been incorporated into the door handles, like is seen in other cars in the segment. AC vents are seamlessly fitted into the dash, and so is the new touchscreen infotainment system, which is powered by updated software and also gets new layout.
