Renault Duster Sandstorm Edition launched

Ahead of the festive season, Renault India has launched a special, Sandstorm Edition of its Duster at Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Based on the second last RxS variant of the compact SUV, it gets aesthetic changes on both inside and out. However, it can only be had with the 1.5-litre diesel motor but the good thing is that one can have it in both the states of tune – 85PS and 110PS. Previously, the 110PS was only limited to the top-end RxZ trim.
