भारतीय कार प्रेमियों के बीच सबसे लोकप्रिय कार मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार इस साल के अंत में अलविदा कहने जा रही है. फ्रांसीसी कार निर्माता भारतीय वाहन बाजार में वर्तमान-जीन डस्टर एसयूवी को बंद करने की योजना बना रहा है क्योंकि निर्माता लागत को कम करना चाहता है और बाजार में फिर से अपना आकर्षण बढ़ाना चाहता है. इस मिड-साइज़ SUV ने भारतीय बाजार में अपनी ब्लॉकबस्टर एंट्री 2012 और बाद में 2013, इसे 'कार ऑफ द ईयर' भी नामित किया गया था.
फिर भी, अपने सेगमेंट में नए लॉन्च और प्रतिस्पर्धियों को नए अपडेट मिल रहे हैं, contribute to decrease its craze among Indians. The SUV has undergone many facelifts over the years, including feature updates and the introduction of the segment’s most powerful turbo-petrol engine in the effect of BS6 norms. But still, none of these was successful in reviving Duster sales.
It is also being reported that the company aspires to launch the new-gen version of this car, however, no official information is available regarding the release date. Renault India’s Managing Director, Venkataram Mamillapalle, has stated that there may be a little pause, but he has assured that the Duster would return.
The Renault Duster was the first SUV to boost sales of compact SUVs in India. The current version of this SUV is available with a 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine. The makers have made a lot of efforts to increase the profits but unfortunately, they did not get successful. Other models, such as the Kwid and Triber are doing well for Renault, in contrast to the ageing Duster.
Hence, at present, the company is focusing only on promoting and selling its latest car, the Renault Kiger. The brand notified its component suppliers that the last batch of the Duster will roll off the production line in October at its alliance facility with Nissan near Chennai. We hope the audience will not have to wait long for the updated model.
