Renault India is doubling down on its iconic Duster nameplate to reclaim market share in the world's third-largest auto market.

The all-new Renault Duster features a turbo-petrol performance and a sophisticated new platform designed to compete in the mid-size SUV segment.

Prices for the turbo-petrol range start at ₹10.49 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), with an introductory price of ₹10.29 Lakh via the R-Pass pre-booking program until March 31, 2026.

The Turbo TCe 160 engine delivers 163 PS and 280 Nm of torque, with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed wet-clutch DCT available.

The E-Tech Strong Hybrid variant has seen exceptional response, with its entire 2026 allocation already sold out.

Renault is introducing a 7-year "Renault Forever" warranty and flexible subscription options to bolster consumer confidence.
