The gist of the matter is the BS6-compliant 1.3-litre TCe turbocharged engine, which makes a substantial 50PS and 108Nm more than the existing petrol engine. The Duster has always been an SUV with strong dynamics. We think the new turbocharged petrol engine combined with the Duster's handling capabilities will be a fun-to-drive package.
