A teaser of the two upcoming midsize SUVs was released, with the two still in concept form. The SUVs will be based on the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s modular, heavily localized CMF-B platform that underpins a number of global models for both the manufacturers, as well as Renault’s sister brand Dacia.
However, the newly teased CMF-B SUV features some styling changes over the global-spec Duster, including redesigned headlamps as well as a restyled front bumper. The Nissan SUV boasts L-shaped LED DRLs that are connected together with a light bar running across the nose.

The manufacturers confirmed that the products from the two brands will be introduced parallelly.
