NCAP 5★

“The Duster has a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating and 6 airbags on every version, which is rare at the money. The new Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 answers the old complaint about fuel bills with a claimed 29 kmpl and a quiet, smooth automatic. The catch is how Renault has split the kit. Level 2 ADAS, the 360-degree camera and adaptive cruise sit on the petrol Iconic, and the pricier hybrids go without, so the choice is genuinely between efficiency and active safety.

✓Stands out

  • 5-star Bharat NCAP rating with 6 airbags on every variant
  • Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 claims 29 kmpl, the best in the segment
  • Electric panoramic sunroof from the Adventure Edition upwards
  • 212 mm ground clearance and a genuinely tough-feeling body
  • 700-litre boot on the petrol versions, among the largest here

!Gives us pause

  • No ADAS, 360-degree camera or adaptive cruise on the hybrid trims
  • Hybrid boot drops to 544 litres because the battery sits under the floor
  • Front-wheel drive only, so no all-wheel-drive option in India
  • The 1.0-litre petrol's 99 bhp feels modest in a car this size
