New Renault Duster will ln India this Duster was already launched in Brazil.

The Brazil-spec Renault Duster has received a mid-cycle facelift that not only brings in a set of styling changes but also comes with an improved platform. In fact, the changes made by the company to the B0 architecture are substantial enough for it to be renamed to B0 Plus. As per the company, the revised platform benefits from a 12.5 per cent increase in the rigidity, while even the suspension of the SUV is also more robust than before. The changes don’t end here as the refreshed model even gets better sound insulation and improved aerodynamic performance. While most of the dimensions have remained unchanged, the overall length has seen an increment of 40 mm owing to the new bumper. Also, the hood, roof, doors and tailgate are new. Coming to the specifications, the 2.0-litre motor has made way for a 1.6-litre 16V engine that outputs 118 hp. Transmission options include a five-speed manual and a CVT automatic, both of which drive the front wheels. Also, it’s being said that the need to include use a remodelled hood arose due to the new 1.3-litre Turbo engine that comes from the Renault Captur. Read more at: ansumanbaldania.blogspot.com

The engine will eventually power a Fox-body Mustang drag racer. With a retail price of just $8,150, we imagine the engine will land in plenty more drag racer projects before production is through.
