Renault Launches Duster Hybrid to Address Fuel Efficiency and Market Demand
Renault's new Duster Hybrid e-Tech 160 aims to boost the model's appeal amid declining petrol SUV sales and growing demand for fuel-efficient alternatives in India. Priced at Rs 16.9 lakh, it features a 1.8-liter petrol engine combined with electric motors delivering 160 bhp and improved fuel efficiency. Renault acknowledges initial sales challenges due to market preferences favoring CNG and hybrids, with the company now focusing on hybrid technology to meet evolving consumer demands in a competitive segment.
