All-New Renault Duster 2026: What’s New?

Renault has launched the third generation of its iconic SUV, the Renault Duster, on 26 January 2026. However, the prices will be announced in March. The new Duster is significantly different from the previous model. With a fresh design, advanced technology, powerful engines, and premium features, it is all set to create a strong impact in the mid-size SUV segment. In the market, it will compete with cars such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara. If you are planning to buy the new Renault Duster 2026, let’s take a look at its top specifications.

The new Duster comes with a 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 163 PS of power and 280 Nm of torque. This makes it one of the most powerful engines in its segment. Paired with a 6-speed DCT automatic transmission, it offers quick acceleration and smooth driving performance. Additionally, 1.0-litre turbo (100 PS) and 1.8-litre strong hybrid (160 PS) engine options will also be introduced later this year.

The Duster features an advanced multimedia system with a 25.65 cm (10.1-inch) touchscreen and a 26.03 cm TFT driver display, both equipped with Google built-in. This means you get real-time navigation, Google Assistant, and apps from the Play Store (such as YouTube and Amazon Music), along with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, even without connecting a smartphone. This feature is especially useful for Indian users.

The Renault Duster 2026 offers a panoramic sunroof extending to the second row, front ventilated seats, a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, 48-color ambient lighting, wireless charging, and an electric tailgate, giving it a premium and luxurious feel. It also comes with Multi-Sense drive modes such as ECO, COMFORT, and PERSO.

For safety, the Renault Duster 2026 comes with 6 airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, all-disc brakes, TPMS, and 17 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Autonomous Emergency Braking. Renault claims that the new Duster is targeting a 5-star safety rating, making it one of the safest SUVs in its segment.

With 212 mm ground clearance, a 26.9° approach angle, a 34.7° departure angle, and up to 700 litres of boot space, this SUV stands out as one of the most capable in its category. In terms of design, the Renault Duster 2026 features LED headlamps, C-shaped LED tail-lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, and roof rails. This SUV is perfectly suited for everything from daily city driving to serious off-road adventures.
