Renault Duster is priced between Rs 10.29 lakh to Rs 18.29 lakh (ex-showroom) in the Indian market and can be purchased with 2 turbo petrol engine options
Renault has recently launched the new generation of Duster SUV in India with prices ranging from Rs 10.29 lakh to Rs 18.29 lakh (ex-showroom). This SUV, which came in the third generation, has emerged as a stronger option than before with a completely new design, better safety and more premium features.
Talking about engine options, it has two turbo petrol engines, in which the 1.0-litre engine gives power of 100 HP and torque of 160 Nm and it comes only with 6-speed manual gearbox. At the same time, the 1.3-liter engine gives power of 163 HP and torque of 280 Nm, which can be purchased in both 6-speed manual and 6-speed DCT options. Apart from this, the Strong Hybrid version is also scheduled to arrive by Diwali 2026, which is currently fully booked.
The base Authentic variant has been introduced with safety focus, which offers features like 6 airbags, ESP, TPMS, LED lighting and digital driver display. However, it lacks modern infotainment and some comfort features, so this model is suitable for those who are planning to buy a car on a low budget.
The Evolution variant can be considered the best in terms of price. It has features like 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, rear camera and alloy wheels. The special thing is that this variant also offers the option of a powerful 1.3-litre engine. The premium feel of the SUV increases further in the Techno variant. It has features like panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, push-button start and powered tailgate.
At the same time, Techno+ and Iconic variants offer advanced features like level-2 ADAS, 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control and large digital display. However, their price is quite high, so they are better for those customers who want all the premium features. Talking about color options, the lower variants offer limited options, while the top variants offer dual-tone colors like River Blue, Sunset Red and Mountain Jade Green.
So which variant should you get? The Evolution variant has a good balance of price, features and performance, so it can be considered the best option. If you can spend a little more money, then the Techno variant will be better for you as it offers more premium features. Here the details of the features according to the variants are given below.
