Soon after launch Renault Duster had become the highest selling SUV in India at the time. While the Duster continues to be popular, it no longer sells in such high numbers.

To make the small SUV more appealing to buyers, Renault brought out the Adventure Edition earlier this year.

As the name indicates, the adventure edition is a more rugged version of vehicle and features the following changes:

A grille guard with integrated lights, smoked headlights, protective plastic cladding on the sides and wheel arches, alloy wheels, white ORVM cover and Adventure decals on the D-pillar.

The interior of the Adventure Edition comes with a lime green theme. The bright colours appears on the seats, door elements, and carpet. The seats and carpet also wear the "Duster" wordings.

Until now, the Duster Adventure Edition was only available with the 110 PS RxL variant, with a price tag of INR 12.18 lakh, in Delhi before taxes.

In a bid to make the adventure edition more popular, Renault has decided to make it more affordable. This has been done by introducing the same vehicle with the smaller 110 PS engine in the RxL trim. The price has thus gone down to INR 9.16 lakhs (ex-Showroom New Delhi).

In comparison, the standard Duster 85 PS RxE comes for a price of INR 8.61 lakh.

The 1.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine develops 85 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. The engine is coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission that transfers power to the front wheels.

Renault's strategy is likely to pay off as it offers a good value for money.
