Renault Duster launched Priced between Rs 10.49 lakh and 18.49 lakh Most powerful SUV in its category
The long-awaited new-gen Renault Duster has finally been launched in the Indian market. The company has already started accepting pre-orders for the SUV at a token amount of Rs 25,000, and deliveries are being promised to commence from April 2026. The new Duster initially comes with two turbo petrol engines; however, a strong hybrid version will join the line-up by October 2026.

The new Duster comes with an aggressive price tag, thanks to the inclusion of the 1.0L, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine and higher level of localisation. The new Renault Duster price in India starts at Rs 10.49 lakh and extends up to Rs 18.49 lakh, ex-showroom. The SUV will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Tata Sierra and Toyota Hyryder.
The new Duster is available with two engine choices, a 1.0L, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol and a 1.3L, 4-cylinder, turbo petrol. While the former is good for 100hp and 160Nm, the 1.3L turbo unit produces 163hp and 280Nm. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual as standard and a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic with 1.3L turbo unit. The new Renault Duster is the most powerful model in its category, as its direct rival Creta/Seltos and Sierra offers 158bhp, 1.5L turbo petrol engine.
The hybrid version of the SUV will get a 109bhp, 1.8L, 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 49bhp electric motor, a 1.4kWh battery pack and a 20bhp hybrid starter generator (HSG). The combined power and torque output stands at 160bhp and 172Nm, respectively.
