Renault Duster Extreme is based on the 2.0-litre flex-fuel four-cylinder engine which is capable to run on both petrol & ethanol.  It produces 143 hp running on petrol and 148 hp running on ethanol. Although the production model of Duster 4×4 has a 6-speed manual transmission on offer, but surprisingly the interior image of the Extreme concept shows a 5-speed manual transmission.

Latin American market is very important for both Renault & Nissan, as they keep rolling out interesting iterations of their vehicles to stay ahead of the competition.
