Renault is gearing up to shake up the Indian car market once again, with the all-new Duster 2025 leading a strong lineup of four new models between 2025 and 2026. The French automaker is bringing back its iconic SUV with fresh design, upgraded interiors, and hybrid powertrain options – all at an aggressive starting price of just ₹5 lakh (expected). This move marks Renault’s ambitious comeback into the compact and mid-size SUV space.
All-New Renault Duster 2025: Reinventing an Icon
Once a segment leader, the Renault Duster 2025 is making a bold return with a completely reimagined design. Based on the CMF-B modular platform, the new-gen Duster promises improved structural strength, enhanced safety, and better space utilization.
On the exterior, the SUV flaunts C-shaped LED headlamps, a muscular bonnet, and chunky wheel arches that amplify its rugged SUV persona. The front grille and overall body proportions look more mature and premium than ever before.
Inside, the 2025 Duster is expected to come loaded with a large touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone connectivity, automatic climate control, and advanced driver-assistance features (ADAS). Engine options are likely to include a turbo-petrol and a hybrid powertrain, giving it an edge in both performance and fuel economy. Once launched, it will directly take on Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Honda Elevate.
Renault Kardian: Urban SUV with Global Style
The Renault Kardian will be another new addition to the brand’s lineup. Already a hit in global markets, this compact SUV is designed for young urban buyers who prefer a stylish and tech-savvy car for city drives.
Sporting a floating roof, LED DRLs, and sleek body lines, the Kardian looks youthful and premium. Features like connected car tech, touchscreen infotainment, multi-airbag setup, and 1.0L turbo-petrol engine make it a strong competitor against Hyundai Venue and Maruti Brezza.
Renault Kwid 2025 Facelift: Entry Hatch Gets Smarter
The Kwid 2025 facelift is aimed at keeping Renault’s entry-level hatchback attractive and up-to-date. Expect design tweaks such as restyled bumpers, new lighting elements, and fresh color options to appeal to younger buyers.
Inside, the cabin will likely feature a digital driver’s display, touchscreen with navigation, and enhanced seat design. Dual airbags, reverse sensors, and high-speed alerts will continue to ensure basic safety. Its trusted 1.0L petrol engine may receive minor tuning for better fuel economy and drivability.
Renault Kiger 2025 Facelift: Bolder & Better
Renault’s successful sub-compact SUV Kiger is also due for a mid-cycle update. The facelifted Kiger will get revised styling, including sharper LED headlamps, sportier alloys, and more aggressive bumpers.
Inside, updates will include refreshed upholstery, a larger infotainment screen, wireless charging, and better smartphone integration. Engine options remain the same – 1.0L NA and 1.0L turbo petrol, available with manual and CVT gearboxes. Safety updates include up to 6 airbags, ESC, and enhanced crash protection.
Final Verdict: Renault’s Big Bet on India for 2025–2026
Renault’s upcoming launches show its renewed focus on the Indian auto market. With a combination of killer pricing, premium features, and smart powertrains, the brand plans to capture attention across budget segments – from the compact hatchback buyer to the mid-size SUV enthusiast.
The Duster 2025, in particular, could disrupt the segment if launched at its expected starting price of ₹5 lakh, offering both style and substance.
If you’re planning to buy a new car in 2025, Renault’s upcoming portfolio is worth watching closely.
