New Renault Duster To Launch By Diwali 2025
The Renault-Nissan partnership has begun developing its midsize SUVs for the Indian market after committing USD 600 million (about Rs 5,300 crore) to its next phase of investment. The partnership anticipates a combined volume of 1.5 lakh units per year between all four vehicles by 2026 – for both the domestic and foreign markets. Four vehicles are now being prepared for India.
“By Diwali 2025, the first model built on the CMF-B platform is anticipated to be on the road. The new Renault Duster generation is most likely involved; a Nissan version is also anticipated at the same time. A longer version of these cars will debut in six months, somewhere in mid-June 2026, according to a source who wished to remain anonymous.
Both Nissan and Renault’s midsize SUVs are most likely to only be offered with petrol engines. In the next two years, the group will evaluate the market for hybrid powertrains. If it determines that there is a need for electric vehicles, it may import the equipment and offer it as a premium model. Hybrids, however, are not currently being localized. Renault India did not reply to an email addressed to them till this story was published.
Nissan prioritizes customers’ requirements and preferences while creating new vehicles, according to a representative for Nissan Motor India, who added that the business is unable to provide any details at this time. In order to achieve sustainable growth, we are putting together a promising pipeline of new items that will satisfy consumer expectations and local market needs.
The Renault-Nissan group announced an additional $600 million in investment in new goods and technology in February 2023. The Renault-Nissan partnership will launch three new domestically produced products, two C-segment SUVs, and one A-SUV in the EV market, each, in accordance with the investment plan.
The representative for Nissan Motor continued, “This significant investment highlights our dedication to the Indian market and our determination to provide our customers with the most cutting-edge technology and innovation.”
According to Ashwani Gupta, the worldwide COO of Nissan Motor Corporation, the company intends to boost domestic and new exports over the next four to five years to improve the current plant’s utilization from its current 49 percent to 80 percent (4.5 lakh units).
Achieving a 3 percent market share in India, the third-largest market in the world was described as “not a big thing” by Gupta, who had previously informed employees that Nissan’s global market share is 6 percent. The achievement of 80 percent plant capacity utilization, he continued, “is not a big challenge.”
We are only targeting 15% of the market and have gained a 1.5% market share. I believe a market share of 3.5 percent is achievable if we increase our coverage to 40 percent. Making and selling 4.5 lakh cars is no longer a pipe dream for Nissan, which can produce and sell approximately 2 lakh domestic units in addition to exports. You guys will deliver, I have no doubt. There will be 2,25,000 cars for the domestic market and another 100,000 for export if you get a 3 percent market share. That is my maths,” Gupta remarked in reference to his plans for India.
