Renault and Nissan have jointly revealed plans for four new SUVs that will hit the Indian market by 2025. At a recent press conference, executives from both companies revealed teasers of the upcoming models, sparking excitement among SUV enthusiasts across the country.
The centerpiece of this announcement is the use of the CMF-B platform, a locally adapted modular platform developed by the Renault-Nissan Alliance. This platform, known for its versatility and efficiency, will serve as the basis for the new SUVs, guaranteeing a combination of performance, comfort and safety adapted to the demands of the Indian market.
Among the highlights is the revival of the iconic Renault Duster license plate, which is expected to adorn one of the 5-seater SUVs. While details remain scarce, early glimpses suggest subtle but distinctive design modifications, including revamped headlights and a redesigned front bumper. At the front of the Nissan, a sleek and dynamic design language is featured, with L-shaped LED daytime running lights.
In response to the growing demand for three-row SUVs in India, both Renault and Nissan are gearing up to introduce 7-seater variants of their respective SUVs. These larger iterations are expected to offer additional space and versatility while maintaining the performance and style of their 5-seat counterparts.
While precise launch dates have yet to be confirmed, industry experts speculate a Renault Duster debut in late 2025, with Nissan’s SUV following suit soon after. Manufacturers reaffirmed their commitment to presenting new models in parallel, guaranteeing consumers a diverse range of options to choose from.
In a fiercely competitive segment dominated by popular models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Hector and the like, the arrival of Renault and Nissan SUVs is set to shake up the market. With a focus on innovation, performance and value, these newcomers aim to carve out their share in India’s rapidly expanding SUV scene.
Furthermore, the announcement of two additional products in the pipeline raises expectations, suggesting the expansion of Renault and Nissan’s offerings in the Indian market.
So the days of the Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano will soon return. We expect the new products to meet the expectations of the Indian consumer with good looks, extensive features and powerful and fuel-efficient engine options.
