Exterior Design
You might know that the old Duster design was a bit classic and simple. Its front grille was small and the headlights came in round design. The bumper was given round fog lamps and a silver skid plate below, giving it a light rough look.
Now talk about 2026 New Duster, then Renault has given a new face to it. The wide grille, the large “RENAULT” logo and Y-shape’s LED DRLs give it a futuristic look. The same bumpers are now more muscular than before and the depth in the design is clear. In addition, the front skid plate and bold lines make it quite athletic.
Side Profile
The side look of the old Duster was quite popular in its time. Its flared wheel arches, roof rails and high ground clearance gave it rough and tuff appeal. At the same time, the design of its alloy wheels was simple but attractive.
The side profile of the new Duster is very sharp and clean. Straight lines are given in the body and wheel arches are now in square design. It features 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, giving it a premium SUV feel. The special thing is that the rear door handles are now integrated into the C-pillar, making the side view look even more sleek.
Rear Look
If the rear was talked about, the back design of the old model was quite simple. Oval shape taillights, flat tailgate and clean design were its specialty.
At the same time, the rear of the 2026 Renault Duster features Y-shape inverted LED taillights that match the design of the front DRLs. The “DUSTER” logo spread in the middle gives it a more premium touch. Also, the new bumper gives it a sporty and powerful look.
Interior
Talking about the interior, Renault has completely changed the game here. The interior of the old Duster was very basic — small infotainment system, old-fashioned analog dial, round AC vents and hard plastic finish.
The new Duster now offers floating touchscreen infotainment systems, digital driver displays, flat-bottom steering wheels and silver finish details. The design of AC vents is also quite modern and the entire cabin has a premium vibe feel.
Features
Renault has left no shortage of features in the new Duster. It now features advanced driver assist features such as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 360-degree camera, automatic climate control and ADAS.
In addition, features such as panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, auto-dimming IRVM, wireless charging and premium sound system can also be given in top variants.
