Common questions
- Which Renault Duster variant gives you the most equipment for the money?
- The Adventure 1.3 Turbo Petrol MT. It costs ₹1,00,000 more than the base Evolution 1.3 Turbo Petrol MT, and adds 8 features we value at ₹1,26,000 — the most equipment per rupee of any upgrade on this car — which is a measurement, not a recommendation.
- How many variants does the Renault Duster have?
- 14 across 4 powertrains (1.0 Turbo · Petrol manual, 1.3 Turbo · Petrol manual, Petrol DCT, Hybrid automatic), from ₹10,49,000 to ₹19,49,000 ex-showroom.
- Is it better to buy a lower trim and add accessories afterwards?
- It depends on what you're after. Cosmetic items — alloy wheels, seat covers, infotainment screens — can usually be fitted afterwards. Safety and structural equipment such as additional airbags, ESC, ADAS and a factory sunroof generally cannot be retrofitted, so if you want those they have to come from the factory.
