New Renault Duster has made some changes you might notice in this new Renault Duster. The front part has the word “Renault” written on it instead of the usual logo. This is like how the Dacia version looks. The company also changed all the Dacia logos on the SUV to say “Renault” instead. Inside the car, the seat and other parts have small differences in how they look.

Renault Duster: platform, dimensions, design

The new Duster is built on a sturdy platform and still looks tough. It's a bit longer than the old model, measuring 4.34 meters, and has a fiercer appearance. They will also make a version with seven seats, like the Dacia Bigster concept, but it will come out later. The Renault Dusters Wheelbase is a little bit shorter than before, at 2,657mm. 

Similar to the Dacia, the Duster features a slender Y- shape LED daytime light, vertical bumper air vents with round fog lights, and a lower grille resembling a flattened bull bar. The Vehicle is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels sporting a straightforward design, and the rear is adorned with a Y-shaped tail-light and bumper design reminiscent of the Dacia Duster.

The middle section is titled towards the driver, and the top model comes with Two digital Displays- one is 7.0 Inch for showing the driver’s information and the other is a 10.1-inch touchscreen for entertainment. Although the Dacia and Renault Duster have screens of the same size, they use different styles and colors for their display menus.
