2026 ModelRight Hand Drive·SUV·16 Variants
Last updated
The 2026 Renault Duster is a five-seat compact SUV sold in India, offered in 16 variants across six trim levels and three powertrains: a 1.0L turbo petrol with a 6-speed manual, a 1.3L turbo petrol with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT), and the newly added 1.8L Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 with a multi-mode hybrid automatic. All variants are front-wheel drive and share the same 4,346 mm body, 2,657 mm wheelbase and 212 mm ground clearance.
The headline addition is the Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 range in Evolution, Techno and Emotion trims. It pairs a 1,789 cc petrol engine with dual electric motors and a 1.4 kWh self-charging battery for 160 PS combined and 208 Nm, with an ARAI-certified 29 kmpl and a claimed range of over 1,400 km. It never needs plugging in: the battery is recharged by the engine and by braking energy.
