The 2026 version of the Renault Duster has been launched in India and is one of the country’s best-selling SUVs. The new Duster has had a complete design overhaul, incorporating new modern styling and technology, with a specific focus on technology. The intention is to reclaim its dominant position in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment.

The new Duster has been designed with younger and technology-focused consumers in mind. It features a more aggressive appearance, a more powerful look, and includes a number of premium options.
High-tech safety features to provide the highest level of safety
The Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System is one of the most exciting elements of the 2026 Renault Duster. It has 17 safety functions, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.
In addition to the vehicle’s new safety features, it also received an overhaul in terms of interior technology. For example, the new Duster has Google-enabled technology and an industry-leading 10.1” touchscreen infotainment system, which is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and works wirelessly, as well as a fully digital 10.25” driver display.
Other high-end features are:
- Sunroof that opens all the way around
- A camera with 360 degrees
- Seats with air flow
- Climate control in two zones
- Different types and booking information
It looks like the SUV will come in several versions: Authentic, Evolution, Techno, Emotion, and Iconic. Each version will have different features and price points.
Price and Competitors
The Renault Duster 2026 is expected to cost between ₹9.5 lakh and ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom), which makes it a strong competitor to well-known SUVs like the Tata Nexon and Mahindra Thar ROXX.
Deliveries should start by the middle of April 2026, and a hybrid version should come out closer to the holidays.
