Priced from Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the new edition arrives just days after Nissan introduced the Tekton, adding fresh attention to the mid-size SUV space.
Design And Equipment
The Adventure Edition gets a set of visual touches that set it apart from the standard SUV. These include exclusive Adventure decals with topographical contour lines and the coordinates of Leh, 34.27 N, 77.60 E, a nod to the kind of terrain associated with the Duster's image in India.
