tastes and preferences," Marc Nassif, managing director, Renault
India said.
"We are optimistic about the performance of Renault's first mass
segment product."
The car, available in two variants -- RxL and RxZ, is powered by a
locally manufactured Renault K9K diesel engine, coupled with a
five-speed manual transmission.

will be available in petrol and diesel variants. The company said
that it would launch the vehicle in the second half of 2012.
With the launch of Duster, the company has four products across a
broad spectrum to ensure that it has a wide reach and caters to a
wide range of customers, including its existing product line up --
the luxury sedan Fluence and SUV Koleos.
Renault India also plans to launch a complete portfolio of five
new products before the end of 2012.
