Renault India have confirmed that the all-new 2026 Duster will be officially launched in India on March 17, 2026. The new-generation Duster was unveiled earlier this year, marking Renault’s return to the competitive C-segment, where SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra and the Maruti Grand Vitara and Victoris operate.

While Renault have already opened bookings for the 2026 Duster for an amount of Rs. 21,000, the prices have not yet been revealed. We expect Renault India to officially announce the prices of the new Duster’s turbo petrol variants during the launch event on March 17. Deliveries of the turbopetrol variants is likely to begin soon after the official price announcement. As for the strong hybrid variants, we expect them to launch around the 2026 festive season.
At launch, Renault will offer the Duster 2026 with 2 engines – a 1L turbo petrol with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 1.3L turbo petrol equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). A 1.8L strong hybrid powertrain will follow later in the year.

The India-spec Duster offers several features such as:

When launched, the 2026 Duster will become the first Renault model in India to offer ADAS. Apart from the usual list of ADAS features, the new Duster will also offer 6 airbags, a 360-degree surround view monitor, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic parking brake (EPB), and disc brakes on all 4 wheels.
