Renault Duster Overview

The Renault Duster returns as a new-generation midsize SUV, rebuilt on a fresh platform. It trades the old model's rugged simplicity for turbo petrol engines, more space and a modern cabin, while keeping the tough SUV stance. The name carries weight in India, where the first Duster built the brand's SUV reputation.

Two turbo petrols power the range. The 1.0 litre TCe 100 makes 100 PS and comes with a 6 speed manual. The 1.3 litre TCe 160 steps up to 163 PS with 280 Nm, offered with a manual or a 6 speed DCT automatic. A strong hybrid version is expected to join later. Renault tunes both engines for flexible, low-effort pulling power around town.

Trims climb from the Authentic through Evolution, Adventure and Techno Plus to the top Iconic. Many carry a dual-tone roof for a two-colour look. Prices run from ₹10.49 Lakh to ₹18.69 Lakh, so the Duster spans budget and near-premium buyers. Compare the Duster variants and their kit to place yourself on the ladder.

Space is a real strength. The 518 litre boot swallows family luggage, and 212 mm of ground clearance handles rough tracks with ease. Five people travel in comfort, helped by the long wheelbase. The turbo engines make it a capable highway cruiser as well as a city SUV. The rear bench is wide, so three adults fit better than in most rivals.

For buyers who want a spacious, modern SUV with genuine pace, the Duster earns a close look. Once a trim appeals, see the Duster price for your city to firm up the budget.
