About the Renault Duster

Renault's rugged mid-size SUV. Turbo-petrol and strong-hybrid options, with genuine rough-road ability.

The Duster is a mid-size SUV with a long reputation for being tough and practical. The 999 cc turbo-petrol makes about 99 bhp and 166 Nm with the manual, and a strong hybrid is available too. All-wheel drive on select variants gives it more real rough-road ability than most rivals. There is also a new Adventure Edition from ₹12.99 lakh, which adds full-LED headlamps, an electric panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate and its own colour palette, on the 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engines.

NCAP 5★

The Duster delivers 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 comfort. Against that, the 161 bhp petrol engine feels adequate rather than exciting and fuel efficiency lags rivals.
