Duster Highlights
On Target
The 2026 Renault Duster makes a confident return with a stronger, more modern package while retaining its core rugged appeal. It stands out for its tough build, capable performance, and genuine go-anywhere ability, setting it apart from typical soft-roaders. With the addition of turbo-petrol engines and a more feature-rich cabin, it now feels more complete for everyday use. Overall, the new Duster blends durability, practicality, and modern usability into a well-rounded SUV that stays true to its roots.
What we like
Powerful turbo engines, a well-equipped cabin, muscular looks, and segment-best boot space make it a well-rounded SUV that caters to both families and adventurers.
What we dont like
The old Duster had a 4x4 drivetrain and a diesel engine, which the current one lacks. In its segment, it doesnt offer anything particularly special or extra that sets it apart.

Expert Verdict on Duster

Pros & Cons of Duster
What we admire in this car
Macho styling - its tough design gives it the presence of a true off-roader
Top-notch build quality
Among the most powerful in the segment - 160 PS and 280 Nm of torque
Will also come with strong hybrid powertrain
Built-in Google Maps and other connected features
700 litres of boot space – best in the segment
Feature-loaded - includes Level 2 ADAS, ventilated seats, and lumbar support
What could have been better
No diesel on offer
The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol is the entry-level engine, and it may feel underpowered for a car of this size
No 4x4 option, unlike the older Duster
Nothing exceptional feature on offer
Renault Duster Detailed Review
- The new Renault Duster features a bold, upright SUV design with a boxy stance, giving it a much stronger road presence than the older model. It gets a chunky front grille with prominent ‘DUSTER’ lettering, LED DRLs, and a muscular bumper that adds to its rugged appeal. Although it doesn’t come with a 4x4 drivetrain in India, it certainly looks like a proper off-roader.
- Along the sides, the Duster rides on large 18-inch alloy wheels and gets squared wheel arches with heavy body cladding. The high ground clearance of 212 mm and roof rails further enhance its proper SUV character.
- Lower variants offer - 17 inch alloy wheels, with less-chrome inserts, and with that too it looks bold.
At the rear, it comes with connected LED tail lamps with a shaped signature, a sculpted tailgate and a rugged bumper with skid plate elements, completing its modern yet tough exterior design. - The 2026 Renault Duster is offered in six colours - Mountain Jade Green, Pearl White, Moonlight Silver, Stealth Black, Sunset Red and River Blue - with availability varying by variant. While White, Silver and Green are widely available in single-tone, Red and Blue are mostly limited to higher trims with dual-tone (black roof) options. Overall, the range mixes subtle shades with sportier finishes, with dual-tone options adding a more premium look.
Duster body specifications:
| Wheel Size | R17 & R18 |
| Seating Capacity | 5 seaters |
| Ground Clearance | 212 mm |
| Boot Space | 518 liters |



- The 2026 Renault Duster is offered with multiple petrol engine options, starting with a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol that produces around 100hp and 160Nm, aimed at everyday usability and efficiency.
- Moving up, there is a more powerful 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering up to 163 PS and 280 Nm, making it the performance-focused option in the lineup. It is available with both a manual and a 6-speed DCT automatic gearbox, which uses a wet clutch. This setup is generally more reliable than the dry-clutch DQ200 used by some German cars.
- Renault will also introduce a strong hybrid powertrain (E-Tech 160) later, which combines a 1.8-litre petrol engine with dual electric motors. This version will focus on delivering high fuel efficiency, with an expected mileage of around 29 - 30 kmpl, and it will compete with the Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
- The 2026 Renault Duster comes well-equipped with a dual-screen setup, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
- It also gets Google built-in (OpenR system) and connected car tech with over 60 features, making it one of the more tech-focused offerings in the segment.
- On the comfort front, the SUV offers ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control with PM2.5 filter, and wireless charging, adding a premium touch to the cabin.
- The Duster also packs in 48-colour ambient lighting, powered seats and a well-thought-out storage layout, improving overall cabin experience and practicality.
- In terms of safety, it gets 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control and multiple driver assistance systems.
- Overall, the new Duster feels significantly more feature-loaded than before, bringing it in line with rivals like the Creta and Seltos in terms of technology and equipment.
Duster features:
| TPMS | Yes |
| Wireless Charger | Yes - Front |
| Ventilated Seats | Front Row |
- The 2026 Renault Duster focuses heavily on usability, offering a massive - 700-litre boot space, making it one of the most practical SUVs in its segment for luggage and long trips.
- Inside the cabin, it gets a large glovebox and multiple storage areas, including well-sized door pockets that can easily hold bottles and small items.
- The centre armrest storage is deep and spacious, providing ample room for everyday essentials, while the wireless charging pad area is thoughtfully designed with enough space to accommodate even larger smartphones.
- Rear seat practicality is also well covered, with a foldable armrest featuring two cupholders, along with seat-back pockets for additional storage.
- Overall, the Duster stands out with its well-thought-out storage solutions and family-friendly practicality, making it ideal for both daily use and long-distance travel.
