Renault will announce prices for the 2026 Duster in the Indian market on March 17. Deliveries will begin in April.

At launch, the 2026 Renault Duster will be available with two engine options: a 1.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 100 hp from the smaller Kiger, and a 1.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 163 hp. The smaller engine comes only with a 6-speed manual transmission, while the larger engine also offers a 6-speed DCT.

Compared to the international model, the Indian-market Renault Duster features a slightly different design. It has new LED headlights with eyebrow-shaped daytime running lights and a glossy black grille with the Duster badge instead of the Renault logo. The bumper includes large air intakes and fog lights on a black lower section, with a silver trim that adds distinctiveness to the front end.

In profile, the car stands out with 18-inch black alloy wheels, rear door handles on the central pillar, and cladding on the wheel arches and lower doors. At the rear, there are triangular LED taillights connected by a light bar with the Renault logo in the center, and a black bumper with contrasting silver trim.

The interior of the Renault Duster features a two-tone black and green color scheme with leatherette seats in matching tones. All seats have adjustable headrests and three-point seatbelts. Front and rear passengers get center armrests.

Renault has equipped the 2026 Duster with numerous modern amenities, including a 10.25-inch digital driver display, an infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless phone charging. Additionally, the car features power-adjustable and ventilated front seats, along with 48-color ambient lighting.

For safety, the standard Renault Duster comes with six airbags, a Level 2 driver assistance system, a 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, front and rear parking sensors, and disc brakes on all four wheels. The vehicle is covered by a standard warranty of 7 years or 1.5 million kilometers, whichever comes first.

The 2026 Duster will compete with mid-size SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, Toyota Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Citroen Aircross, and MG Astor. It will also rival similarly priced coupe-SUVs such as the Tata Curvv and Citroen Basalt.
