Renault has launched the 2018 model year Duster and the SUV has received a significant price cut right from the base petrol model to the top-spec diesel AWD (all-wheel-drive). Renault says that the price reduction is owing to increase in localisation. The Duster is manufactured at Renault바카라™s Chennai facility along with its other siblings, and Nissan and Datsun models. The new prices are effective from March 1, 2018, and here바카라™s a comparison between the old and new prices.Â
Renault Duster Gets A Price Cut Of Up To Rs 1 Lakh
The top-end Renault Duster RXZ 110PS Diesel is now cheaper than the Hyundai Creta SX (O) diesel manual by Rs 2.73 lakh!
The variants that have received the maximum price cut are the premium ones, including the diesel AWD which attracts a whopping reduction of Rs 1 lakh! It appears that the move has also been taken to give the Captur more breathing space. The Captur (priced between Rs 9.99 lakh - 14.05 lakh) is a comparatively better-loaded product however the price overlaps were possibly causing some cannibalisation. With the price cut, Renault seems to have covered the Rs 8-15 lakh price bracket with two products more effectively.Â
Interestingly, the Duster petrol automatic has become the most economically priced compact SUV in the market. It is also closely priced compared to the entry-level Ford EcoSport petrol AT (Trend+ Rs 9.55 lakh). The Hyundai Creta petrol AT, for instance, is priced at Rs 13.03 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom, New Delhi). Â Here바카라™s how the Duster competes with the Hyundai Creta in terms of prices.
