Modern and muscular design
It seems clear to see the new generation Renault Duster that the company has not made any agreement with its DNA. The SUV looks as strong and muscular as before, but now Modern Touch has also been added to it.
The front profile features slim headlamps, with eyebrows shape LED DRLs giving it a sharp and premium look. The grill design is set aside from the European model, so as to better suit the Indian market test.

Side and Rear Design
Let me tell you that the side profile of the 2026 Duster has a siluette square, but body lines now look more clean. Rear door handles are provided on the C-pillar, which gives the SUV a slightly coupe-like feel.
The thick cladding around the wheel arch is reminiscent of the old Duster. Top variants are expected to feature 18-inch larger alloy wheels, which will further strengthen its road presence.
