Renault Duster
The upgrade our valuation covers best is Techno → Emotion on the Hybrid automatic: ₹50,000 buys ₹1,25,000 of equipment — 250% of the price rise, so the kit alone covers what it costs.
Renault's new-generation Duster, launched in India on 17 March 2026, with a strong hybrid added on 17 October 2026. A 1.0-litre turbo petrol (TCe 100, manual), a 1.3-litre turbo petrol (TCe 160, manual or DCT) and a 1.8-litre strong hybrid (E-Tech 160), across Authentic, Evolution, Adventure, Techno+ and Iconic, and Evolution, Techno and Emotion on the hybrid.

How the Renault Duster compares with its segment
Ranked among the 18 cars we track in the Mid-size SUV segment. Prices are ex-showroom, Delhi; dimensions are each maker's own. Measurable facts only, not a verdict on the car.

- Joint highest power output among the 18 cars in its segment: 161 bhp, level with the Nissan Tekton.
Where the money buys the most equipment, and where it buys the least
One variant on the Renault Duster is covered outright by the kit it adds. Another is mostly paying for something else. Both are computed from the same feature valuations, not chosen by hand.

Renault Duster: questions buyers ask
Which Renault Duster variant is the best value?
Techno 1.8 Strong Hybrid AT to Emotion 1.8 Strong Hybrid AT costs ₹50,000, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹1,25,000 — 250% of the price rise. That is the variant upgrade where equipment explains the most of what you pay. The kit alone covers what the variant costs extra. The figure is computed from the feature difference, not chosen.
Which Renault Duster variant gives back the least?
Adventure 1.3 Turbo Petrol DCT to Techno+ 1.3 Turbo Petrol DCT costs ₹1,30,000, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹40,000 — 30% of the price rise. The rest of that money goes on things we do not itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin.
How many variants does the Renault Duster have?
14, across 4 powertrains, from ₹10,49,000 to ₹19,49,000 ex-showroom. Every trim and engine Renault prices. Left out: the Iconic launch edition and the dual-tone paint versions.
What is the EMI on the Renault Duster?
About ₹20,238 a month for the cheapest variant, Authentic 1.0 Turbo Petrol MT: ₹12,25,828 on the road in Delhi, 20% down, and a loan of ₹9,80,662 at 8.75% a year for 5 years. A different rate, tenure or down payment changes it — the EMI calculator works it out for your own figures.
What are the Renault Duster's dimensions, boot space and ground clearance?
It is 4,346 mm long, 1,815 mm wide and 1,701 mm tall, on a 2,657 mm wheelbase. Boot space is 518 litres. Ground clearance is 212 mm. The fuel tank holds 50 litres. These are Renault's own figures.
When was the Renault Duster launched?
The Renault Duster on sale now, the third generation, was launched in India in Mar 2026. It has not been facelifted since.
Is a new Renault Duster or a facelift coming?
Renault has announced nothing, and we found no credible reports of one as of 1 Nov 2026.
What colours does the Renault Duster come in?
Renault lists 6 colours: Pearl White, Moonlight Silver, Stealth Black, River Blue, Sunset Red, Mountain Jade Green. Not every colour is offered on every variant.
What is the Renault Duster's safety rating?
Bharat NCAP (Apr 2026): 5 stars for adult occupant protection and 5 stars for child occupant protection (30.49/32 and 45.00/49 points). The rating covers only some variants. Not listed: the Adventure trim on any engine, the Evolution 1.3 DCT, and the 1.8 strong hybrid (launched Oct 2026).
What is the on-road price of the Renault Duster?
The cheapest variant, Authentic 1.0 Turbo Petrol MT, comes to about ₹12,25,828 on road in Delhi — ₹10,49,000 ex-showroom plus road tax, insurance, registration and TCS where it applies. Road tax is set by the state, so the total moves by a lakh or more between them.
How we checked these figures
Data notes — where these figures come from
Prices from Renault's own configurator price list (document BAE8, applicable 28 Oct 2026), ex-showroom Delhi. One exception: that list puts the Iconic TCe 160 manual at ₹18,99,000, above the Iconic DCT at ₹18,49,000, while Renault's own price page and its launch release both say ₹16,99,000, which is stored. The hybrid prices are Renault's introductory ones, valid on deliveries to 31 Dec 2026. Left out: the Iconic launch edition (TCe 160 manual ₹17,19,000 and DCT ₹18,69,000), which is the Iconic in a dual-tone paint with black 18-inch wheels and decals, and every dual-tone paint option (₹20,000). Equipment from Renault's configurator, which marks every item standard or not per version, checked against the launch press release (17 Mar 2026) and the petrol (Jul 2026) and hybrid (Oct 2026) brochures. Where they disagree we under-credit: the configurator lists the hands-free card, electric mirrors and the rear light bar on the base Authentic, but the launch release has the Authentic on remote keyless entry and adds the mirrors and light bar on the Evolution, so the Authentic gets neither; the configurator lists wireless charging and auto-folding mirrors on every version, but the launch release adds both with the smart key, so they are credited only where the smart key is. The Authentic's audio is not credited: Renault lists no head unit for it. The Iconic DCT alone has adaptive cruise with stop and go, so Level 2 ADAS is credited there and not on the Iconic manual, which has the rest of the camera suite; hill descent control is also Iconic DCT only. The Techno+ and Iconic had LED fog lamps at launch, but the current configurator lists none, so none are credited. Not credited, each because Renault says less than our entry needs: the TPMS (the type is not stated), the Iconic's 48-colour ambient lighting (where it runs is not stated), its PM2.5 filter with ionizer, and the Authentic's 17-inch steel wheels with wheel caps. The hybrid Evolution and Techno's 18-inch 'ridge' flex wheels count as wheel covers, and the Techno's semi-leatherette seats are not credited as leatherette. The 10.1-inch screen sits at our 9-inch level and the electric 6-way front seats at the 4-way level. Renault prints the engines in PS: 100 PS and 166 Nm (its engine page says 160 Nm; the brochure and configurator say 166), 163 PS and 280 Nm, and for the hybrid 160 PS system output with the 1.8 engine's 175 Nm (the motor gives 208 Nm). The hybrid's 29 kmpl is certified under Rule 115(G); Renault publishes no certified figure for the petrol engines, so none is stored. The roof bars carry 50 kg, which earns roof rails.
