New Delhi. The new model of Renault Duster is going to be launched in India next year. However, this model is already on sale abroad. The company is working on a 4×4 model of this popular SUV which will come with a mild hybrid powertrain. The spy shots of this car that have surfaced so far show that this car will be equipped with petrol hybrid as well as petrol-LPG powertrain.

Recently, a test mule of this car has been spotted on the outskirts of Spain. According to the information revealed so far, Duster will be launched in the market with 1.2-liter ECO-G engine, 48-volt MHEV technology and 4X4 gear. This engine has been combined with petrol-LPG technology, which will be seen in the upcoming production model. The petrol MHEV LPG powertrain is still being tested. The test mule seen in the spy shots has a side-mounted exit just in front of the left rear wheel, which will not be seen in the final production model.

Petrol-LPG Engine
This engine can run on petrol-LPG, which gives a power output of 150 HP. The car will be powered by a dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The all-wheel-drive technology used in the car will work similar to the Jeep Avenger 4xe. This electric rear XL setup will also be used in Renault Bigster SUV.

3 powertrain options
Currently, the new Duster is being sold in the global market with three powertrain options. A 100hp 1.0-litre bi-fuel 3-cylinder engine, a 130hp 1.2-litre mild-hybrid and the top-spec 140hp 1.6-litre petrol-hybrid. Duster was a very popular SUV in India in its initial phase. With time, due to increased competition in the market, its popularity declined significantly. During this time, cars like Vitara Brezza, Creta, Nexon established their dominance in the market.
