The extensive testing phase included terrains and weather conditions that demonstrate the Duster’s stability, composure, and endurance, irrespective of the climatic conditions.

Commenting on the testing milestone, Stephane Deblaise – CEO, Renault Group India, shared, "Completing 1 million kilometres of testing across three continents is not just a validation target for us — it is a statement of intent. We have taken the new Duster to the most demanding terrains and climates on the planet, including the extremes of the Himalayas, to ensure that when this Icon returns to India, it does so fully prepared for real-world Indian conditions.

"We believe true capability cannot be rushed. This milestone reflects our confidence that the reborn Duster is engineered to deliver uncompromised performance, safety, and durability — no matter where or how it is driven."

The icon will be unveiled on January 26 coincing Republic Day.
