Overview
- An official video confirms the Duster’s India unveiling on January 26 with a nostalgia-led message that brands it as an icon returning.
- Teaser frames and spy shots point to India-specific styling touches such as Y-shaped DRLs and a connected rear light bar not seen on the global model.
- The SUV sits on the Alliance’s CMF-B architecture with localized production at Oragadam, laying groundwork for exports and a planned three-row derivative later.
- Early India test mules feature a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine, with AWD reportedly on the cards and strong-hybrid and CNG options expected to follow.
- A Nissan-badged sibling named Tekton was spied testing alongside the Duster with distinct lighting and fascia, with media expecting its arrival in the second quarter of 2026.
