New Delhi/IBNS: Renault India, a wholly owned subsidiary of the French carmaker Renault Group, on Wednesday announced a major testing milestone for its highly anticipated and iconic SUV, Renault Duster.

The upcoming new Duster completed a gruelling global testing, driving 1 million kilometres across three continents between –23°C to 55°C, ensuring it is comprehensively engineered for the diverse road conditions.

This achievement of extreme durability and performance confirms the new Duster’s position as a truly born-to-conquer vehicle.

The new Renault Duster is ready to carry forward the legacy of the previous generation, while raising the benchmark for rugged capability and on-road safety.

The extensive testing phase included terrains and weather conditions that demonstrate the Duster’s stability, composure, and endurance, irrespective of the climatic conditions.

Commenting on the testing milestone, Stephane Deblaise – CEO, Renault Group India, shared, "Completing 1 million kilometres of testing across three continents is not just a validation target for us — it is a statement of intent. We have taken the new Duster to the most demanding terrains and climates on the planet, including the extremes of the Himalayas, to ensure that when this Icon returns to India, it does so fully prepared for real-world Indian conditions.

"We believe true capability cannot be rushed. This milestone reflects our confidence that the reborn Duster is engineered to deliver uncompromised performance, safety, and durability — no matter where or how it is driven."

The icon will be unveiled on January 26 coincing Republic Day.
