Interior Design

The days of the Duster having a “basic” interior are officially over. Renault has completely overhauled the cabin, giving it a modern, driver-focused layout that feels a bit like a fighter jet cockpit.

  • The Tech Hub: You get two big screens—a 10.1-inch touchscreen for your music and maps (supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and a 10.25-inch digital display behind the steering wheel for all your driving info.
  •  Upgraded Comfort: For the first time, the Duster feels genuinely “premium.” It now comes with a panoramic sunroof, cooled (ventilated) front seats that you can adjust electronically, and dual-zone AC so the driver and passenger can set their own temperatures.
  • The Feel: The materials have seen a massive upgrade too. Think soft-touch surfaces, leather-like seats with stylish stitching, and some cool Y-shaped chrome accents on the AC vents to keep things looking sharp.
