Renault already revealed modern design, updated interior and powertrain of the Dusters months ago when it started to accept pre-booking of the SUV at Rs 21,000. The company will be offering several variants of the Dusters to cater different audiences. Renault Duster 2026 sits in a segment that is highly competitive with SUVs like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Tata Sierra and others. To recall, Renault Dusters used to be the most popular compact SUV in the country back in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renault Duster price and variants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renault Duster price in India starts at Rs 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and the top of the line variant is price at Rs 18.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Buyers will have options to pick from 5 variants &#8211; authentic, evolution, techno, techno+ and iconic. The variants wise pricing of the new Renault Duster can be found below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"226\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-776821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png 1976w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png?resize=300,66 300w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png?resize=768,169 768w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png?resize=1024,226 1024w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png?resize=1536,339 1536w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-17-at-11.27.45-AM.png?resize=150,33 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renault Duster engine options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renault Duster will be offered three distinct powertrain options. An entry-level 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces around 100 PS and 160 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. A 1.3-litre turbo-petrol unit, making about 163 PS and 280 Nm, will be available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT). A strong-hybrid petrol setup (1.8-litre + electric motor) producing a combined 160 PS is expected to join the lineup later in Diwali 2026, paired with an 8-speed automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renault Duster 2026: Design highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The completely new Duster marries a tough, SUV look with modern design elements. It boasts LED headlamps, distinct eyebrow-style daytime running lights (DRLs), a prominent new grille featuring the &#8216;Duster&#8217; name, and substantial body cladding that really highlights its off-road capability. For the Indian market, this model also incorporates specific features such as pronounced wheel arches and a horizontal LED rear light bar, which distinguishes it from the version sold globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Duster-4.jpg?w=850\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-774601\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2592818158394041;width:572px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Duster-4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Duster-4.jpg?resize=300,238 300w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Duster-4.jpg?resize=768,610 768w, https:\/\/news24online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Duster-4.jpg?resize=150,119 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renault Duster 2026 cabin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cabin is expected to feel quite high-end, featuring quality materials and a design focused on the driver. Renault will probably include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic air conditioning, cooled seats, and several USB ports across all versions. The more expensive models might also come with wireless phone charging, a better sound system, and features that connect the car to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large
