About the Renault Duster

Renault's rugged mid-size SUV — turbo-petrol and strong-hybrid options with genuine off-road ability.

The Renault Duster is a mid-size SUV with a reputation for tough, practical everyday usability. It is offered with turbo-petrol power (the 999 cc unit makes around 99 bhp and 166 Nm with a manual) and a strong-hybrid option, and available all-wheel drive on select variants gives it more genuine rough-road capability than most rivals. The range now includes a new Adventure Edition (from ₹12.99 lakh) that layers exclusive styling — full-LED headlamps, an electric panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate and a distinctive colour palette — on the 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol powertrains.

NCAP 5★

The Duster punches above its weight with a 5-star NCAP rating, 6 airbags, and 6 ADAS functions—rare for the price. Strong tech suite (7 features) and ventilated seats add genuine comfort, though the 161 bhp petrol engine feels adequate rather than exciting and fuel efficiency lags rivals.

!Gives us pause

  • 17.75 km/l efficiency trails rivals—fuel costs add up
  • 161 bhp feels modest in real-world performance
  • No sunroof limits premium perception at this price
  • Powertrain refinement isn't segment-leading
