Renault is once again bringing its iconic SUV, the Renault Duster, back to a new and ultra-modern avatar in India. The company plans to launch it on January 26, 2026, and has been seen during regular testing for the past several months. Spy shots clearly show that the new Duster looks more muscular, stylish and modern than ever. The rough and tuffiness of the previous model remains, but this time it looks even more stylish and take-loaded, resembling a premium SUV. If you are looking for an SUV that is also reliable and gives a strong presence on the road, then the new Renault Duster 2026 is the car for you.
Price
The new generation’s Renault Duster is expected to have an initial price in India of ₹11 lakhs, allowing it to directly compete with popular models in its segment such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara.
Design
The design of the new Duster has been completely redesigned and is more attractive. On the front, Y-Shape’s LED DRLs, new polygonal headlamps, thicker, more robust front bumpers, and larger Renault branding give the SUV a bold and premium look. On the side profile, polygonal wheel arch, thick body cladding, strong roof rail, and door handles hidden in the C-pillar further enhance its modern styling.
At the rear, a sporty rear spoiler, shark fin antenna, and Y-shape’s LED taillamps further improve its rear profile. Looking at the overall design, it is clear that Renault has done a lot of work on the look and mass appeal of the SUV, making it look strong on the road at first glance.
Interior
The biggest feature of the new Renault Duster interior is its triple-screen dashboard layout, which gives a completely new and premium feel to this price segment. The cabin features a large 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and modern connectivity features such as Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, dual-zone climate control, OTA update support and improved cabin quality make this SUV even more comfortable for families and long trips.
Performance
The new Renault Duster will debut in India with a petrol engine option. Later it will also include Strong Hybrid version and there is a possibility of CNG option in future. This will give good variety to customers in terms of SUV mileage, performance and long-term kifayat. Its engine tuning in India will be adjusted according to driving conditions to provide better power delivery and smooth performance in both the city and highway.
