The other big French brand at the Expo is Renault. The brand will display various iterations and special editions of the Pulse small car, just like we saw when the car was revealed before the Indian grand prix. The Fluence sedan too will be on display and we expect minor upgrades to the same as well. The Koleos SUV will also be there to enhance brand awareness. But the centrestage will be occupied by the Duster. Based on the Logan platform, the Duster is a compact SUV from the Dacia brand, which is a part of the Renault Group. The Duster will be sold in India with a Renault badge and will be offered with a choice of both petrol and diesel engines. The diesel in question will be the super fuel efficient 1.5- litre dCi, which also serves the rest of Renault's cars.The Duster however will be launched in a two-wheel-drive format and that is sure to restrict it from going into the business of serious off-roading, which its chunky looks promise. Nevertheless in this country of SUV lovers, that the Duster will be offered with an affordable pricetag of around Rs 7 to 9 lakh is definitely going to work in Renault's favour. The company will also announce its future plans and products for the Indian market.
