Hi

The Duster is 4.31 metres long - so it misses the sub 4-metre segment by a small margin, but that definitely means Renault won't be making compromises on the engine front. Expect the 1.5 dCi engine, seen on various Renault models already, in an 85-90 bhp state of tune or in the 104.5 bhp@4000 rpm spec as on the Fluence diesel. The 2.0-litre, 135 bhp petrol motor may also be an interesting option for the more performance inclined although we think Renault may just stick to the diesels to start with. Also, Renault hasn't mentioned anything about a four-wheel drive variant for India though it may be offered as an option.
