The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • 5-star Bharat NCAP rating (2026) on its India comeback, for adults and children
  • Level 2 ADAS and a 10.1-inch OpenR Link infotainment system, genuinely modern for the segment
  • Wide choice of turbo-petrol tunes (TCe 100 and TCe 160) with manual or DCT automatic across most trims

Worth knowing

  • Turbo-petrol DCT top trims push close to Rs 18.7 lakh
  • Nameplate was absent from India since 2022, so long-term reliability data on this generation does not exist locally yet
  • Strong Hybrid variant is not yet on sale in India, Renault has only said it is expected around Diwali 2026

Source Notes / Discrepancies

Source Notes Rebirth of the legendary Duster on CMF-B platform with 217 mm ground clearance, 4x4 with 31° approach angle, E-Tech Strong Hybrid option (24.5 kmpl), Level 2 ADAS, Starkle scratch-resistant body, and YouClip modular cabin accessories. Sourced from Renault, CarWale, and Autocar India. Update 30 Sep 2026: the Engine & Performance Mileage row still carried the old fictional 1.2L Turbo/E-Tech Hybrid figures left over from an earlier bad source; corrected to the real TCe 100/TCe 160 ARAI figures already used elsewhere on this page. Photos and colours checked against Renault India's own 3D configurator (renault.co.in/cars/renault-duster/configurator.html): studio cut-outs on white for the 3 colours it currently offers, Pearl White, Moonlight Silver and Stealth Black. The previously stored 6-colour list (Dusty Khaki, Terracotta Brown, Sandstone, Pearl Black, Glacier White, Cedar Green) does not match any colour name in Renault's own configurator or its embedded pricing data and has been replaced; it may have described a different market's Duster.
