Renault India has just released a brand new TVC that urges buyers ‘not to settle for smaller’ SUVs. The highlight of this TVC is the starting price of the 2019 Renault Duster, which at Rs. 7.99 lakhs, makes it slightly higher priced than many sub-4 meter compact SUVs such as the Maruti Brezza and Ford EcoSport. In EMI terms, a price difference of under Rs. 1 lakh translates to an EMI difference of less than Rs. 2,000. It’s this messaging that the TVC tries to drive home by projecting the 2019 Duster’s starting price of Rs. 7.99 lakhs.
Renault introduced the 2019 Duster in the Indian market recently, and the SUV features a bunch of updates. ABS+EBD is now standard across all Duster variants. The touchscreen infotainment system on the higher variants gets an upgrade with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity options now added. The 2019 Duster’s engines and gearboxes remain unchanged for now. However, the variants have been given a rejig.
Renault has dumped the RxL trim on the diesel engined Duster, and the Standard trim has also been dumped. The RxS variant has been added to the AMT equipped diesel variant, which brings down the entry price of the Duster Diesel Automatic, and makes it cheaper than the Hyundai Creta. The petrol engined Duster is now available only in 3 variants – RxE, RxS and RxS Automatic.
