Renault Duster mileage: common questions
Which Duster is the most fuel efficient?
The TCe 100 manual leads at 19.41 kmpl. Among the TCe 160 cars, the DCT rates 18.45 kmpl, slightly ahead of the manual at 17.75 kmpl.
Does the Duster DCT beat the manual on mileage?
On the TCe 160 engine, yes. The DCT rates 18.45 kmpl against the manual's 17.75 kmpl, since it keeps the engine in an efficient range.
Is the smaller TCe 100 the thriftiest Duster?
Yes, at 19.41 kmpl it tops the range on fuel. It gives up outright power to the TCe 160 but returns the best economy on paper.
What mileage will the Duster give in real use?
Expect figures below the ARAI ratings, especially in city traffic. A steady highway cruise on the DCT comes closest to the official numbers.
