From India to UK Renault to export 2012 Duster SUV in 2013

This year, Duster SUV will be brought by Renault in India and by the starting of 2013, this SUV will hit the UK car bazaar. The best thing is that Renault Duster SUV will be exported to United Kingdom from India and will be named Dacia in UK. The SUV will be made at the Nissan-Renault’s Oragadam facility located near Chennai. Renault displayed Duster at the 11th Auto Expo in New Delhi and the launch of this car is one of the biggest one in India this year. Just below Ford EcoSport Crossover this car will be positioned and would arrive in India by the end of this year.
Apparently, Renault is planning to launch Renault Duster SUV in India by the mid of 2012. Duster will be basically the 2nd car launch by Renault in the country in 2012, first being Renault Pulse hatchback. The company will also launch a sedan probably based on the C-segment sedan, Nissan Sunny. This sedan will be called Scala. Back to Duster, this SUV by Renault is a five seater and will be offered in both diesel and petrol version. Considering the current market condition, Renault will probably bring in the diesel version of Renault Duster followed by petrol version after sometime.
Under the bonnet, Renault Duster diesel variant will come powered with 1.5 litre of K9K CRDe engine accompanied with variable geometry  turbocharger. This engine is likely to churn out 105 BHP of power with 240 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the 1.6 litre of petrol engine will power the petrol variant of Renault Duster. Initially, the company will come with a front wheel drive version of the SUV; the 4WD variant might come in later.Automobile News
