New Renault Duster Launched in India; Turbo Petrol Price Starts at INR 10.49 Lakh, Dispatches Begin Nationwide.

The new Duster is available with two turbo-petrol engine options at launch. A 1.0-litre turbo-petrol produces 100hp and 160Nm and is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. A larger 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine develops 163hp and 280Nm and is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Over 90% of bookings across markets are for the 1.3 litre turbo petrol model.

Renault will also introduce strong-hybrid petrol powertrain. It combines a 1.8 litre 109hp petrol engine with a 49hp electric motor and a 20hp hybrid starter generator, supported by a 1.4kWh battery. Total output is 160hp and 172Nm. This Strong Hybrid bookings receive exceptional response; full 2026 allocation sold out.

Nearly 40% of customers opted for the hybrid during pre-bookings, and Renault confirmed that planned hybrid capacity for 2026 is already fully allocated, with bookings set to reopen ahead of deliveries around Diwali.

Built on Renault Group Modular Platform (RGMP), the new Renault Duster has been developed with a clear focus on structural robustness, efficiency and future-readiness.
