The top-end Renault Duster RXZ 110PS Diesel is now cheaper than the Hyundai Creta SX (O) diesel manual by Rs 2.73 lakh!
Renault has launched the 2018 model year Duster and the SUV has received a significant price cut right from the base petrol model to the top-spec diesel AWD (all-wheel-drive). Renault says that the price reduction is owing to increase in localisation. The Duster is manufactured at Renault’s Chennai facility along with its other siblings, and Nissan and Datsun models. The new prices are effective from March 1, 2018, and here’s a comparison between the old and new prices.
Renault Duster | Old Prices | New Prices | Difference |
RXE Petrol | Rs 8.50 lakh | Rs 7.95 lakh | Rs 55,925 |
RXL Petrol | Rs 9.30 lakh | Rs 8.79 lakh | Rs 51,816 |
RXS CVT Petrol | Rs 10.24 lakh | Rs 9.95 lakh | Rs 29,746 |
Std 85 PS Diesel | Rs 9.45 lakh | Rs 8.95 lakh | Rs 50,663 |
RXE 85 PS Diesel | Rs 9.65 lakh | Rs 9.09 lakh | Rs 56,560 |
RXS 85 PS Diesel | Rs 10.74 lakh | Rs 9.95 lakh | Rs 79,034 |
RXZ 85 PS Diesel | Rs 11.65 lakh | Rs 10.89 lakh | Rs 76,237 |
RXZ 110 PS Diesel | Rs 12.49 lakh | Rs 11.79 lakh | Rs 70,976 |
RXZ 110 PS AMT Diesel | Rs 13.09 lakh | Rs 12.33 lakh | Rs 76,970 |
RXZ 110 PS AWD Diesel | Rs 13.79 lakh | Rs 12.79 lakh | ~ Rs 1 lakh |
The variants that have received the maximum price cut are the premium ones, including the diesel AWD which attracts a whopping reduction of Rs 1 lakh! It appears that the move has also been taken to give the Captur more breathing space. The Captur (priced between Rs 9.99 lakh - 14.05 lakh) is a comparatively better-loaded product however the price overlaps were possibly causing some cannibalisation. With the price cut, Renault seems to have covered the Rs 8-15 lakh price bracket with two products more effectively.
