We’ve already spotted the upcoming Renault Duster testing in India multiple times, but now, fresh spy shots have revealed Nissan’s iteration of the Duster, which could make a comeback under the Terrano nameplate.
Nissan’s Strategy for the Indian Market
Alongside the launch of the new Duster, Nissan is planning to roll out its own version for Indian buyers. Earlier, the brand teased its upcoming line-up for India, which included:
- A Triber-based 7-seater MPV
- A Duster-based mid-size SUV to rival the Creta
Although Nissan has not confirmed the official name yet, there’s a strong chance it will revive the Nissan Terrano badge. Recently, the new SUV was spotted testing for the first time on Indian roads. Despite the heavy camouflage, its proportions and design cues seem consistent with Nissan’s teaser images. The SUV’s tall and wide stance hints at a strong road presence — an important factor for Indian SUV buyers.
What to Expect from the Nissan Duster / New Nissan Terrano
The Nissan SUV will share its platform and mechanicals with the new Renault Duster, but it will feature Nissan’s own design language. This could mean a unique front grille, distinct lighting elements, and slightly altered bumpers to differentiate it visually.
The interior layout is expected to be largely similar to the Duster, which offers:
- A practical cabin with ample storage space
- Premium upholstery options
- Well-placed controls for easy accessibility
Expected features include:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Wireless smartphone charger
- Large touchscreen infotainment unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Leatherette ventilated seats
- Powered driver’s seat
- Dual-zone climate control
Safety features likely to be offered:
- ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
- 6 airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Hill hold assist and hill descent control
- 360-degree surround camera
- Electronic parking brake
Engine and Performance
Globally, the Renault Duster comes with multiple engine options, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid setups. However, for India, both the Duster and the Nissan SUV are expected to use a Mercedes-sourced 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine, producing:
- 150 bhp of power
- 250 Nm of torque
This engine will likely be paired with manual and CVT automatic gearbox options.
Launch Timeline & Pricing
- Renault Duster: Reveal by late 2025, price announcement in early 2026
- Nissan Terrano / Duster: Launch expected a few months after Renault’s launch
Pricing will be aggressively positioned to compete with the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun.
