The new Renault Duster uses a 1.0-litre Turbo TCe 100 engine with a manual gearbox as the entry powertrain option. Higher variants use a 1.3-litre Turbo TCe 160 engine, with a choice of manual transmission or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Renault continues with a front-wheel-drive layout for all variants at launch.

The Duster line-up in India is spread across Authentic, Evolution, Techno, Techno+ and Iconic trims. Bookings are open at dealerships and on the Renault India website, with deliveries expected to begin in the coming weeks depending on variant and location. Renault is positioning the Duster against midsize SUVs from Hyundai, Kia, Maruti, Toyota and others.

Renault is also offering an R Pass programme that brings lower effective prices on select variants. The brand aims to use this pricing and variant spread to reach buyers in both urban and non-urban markets who want a turbo petrol SUV with multiple gearbox options.
