Francisco Hidalgo Marques, VP, Sales & Marketing, Renault Group India, said, “Since the moment of its reveal, the Duster has appealed to Indian customers with its strong SUV design, outstanding ride and handling, and confident performance. With this latest achievement, the Duster now also makes a compelling case for rational buyers combining one of the best fuel efficiency figures in the segment with a 5-star BNCAP safety rating for adult and child occupant protection, and the added reassurance of a best in-market 7 year warranty.”
Dr. V Vikraman, Chief of Renault Engineering, India, noted, “This result is rooted in engineering execution on the ground. The Duster was subjected to extensive simulations, physical crash tests, and system level validations, with a strong focus on real world Indian driving conditions. From body structure performance to restraint calibration and electronic safety systems, every element was engineered, tested and refined to work together. The 5 star BNCAP rating reflects the rigour of that end to end engineering and validation process.”
