The spyshots suggest that the new Duster facelift will feature LED or LED-effect taillights with the unchanged cluster design, and a new pair of alloy wheels. Since the prototype was camouflaged, the minimal front details are available. Though, it is expected to get a revised front fascia with slightly different grille, headlights and bumper design. Other exterior updates could be fog lights with blacked out surrounds, silver skid front and rear plates and revised body cladding. If reports are to be believed, the 2015 Duster facelift might draw its design inspiration from the Duster Adventure Edition.
