The video pays a nostalgic tribute to the SUV, and starts with children playing with toy Dusters, revising scenes of the original model driving through mountains, juggles and water crossing. It ends with a celebration of the “Gangs of Duster” community, blending memories with adventure and setting the way for the Duster’s return in 2026.
All-New Design
Based on the CMF-B architecture, the new Renault Duster will feature a completely new design language with a few market-specific changes. The front fascia will appear bolder than before with a newly-designed grille, Y-shaped LED headlamps and DRLs, new fog lamp assembly and sporty bumper with large air dams. Other design highlights will include Y-shaped LED taillamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, massive side cladding, pronounced wheel arches and roof rails.
Premium Features
The India-spec new 2026 Renault Duster will have cabin layout and features similar to the globally available model. The all-new SUV will be significantly more upmarket and feature-loaded than the previous generation. The expected feature list includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch colour driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, a panoramic sunroof, an Arkamys Classic 6-speaker sounds system, ambient lighting, Level 2 ADAS and more.
Engine Options
In India, the new Renault Duster 2026 is likely to be offered with two petrol engine options – a 1.3L turbo and 1.2L mild hybrid. A strong hybrid variant is expected to join the lineup at a later stage. Transmission choices will include both manual and automatic gearboxes, while the 4X4 drivetrain system will be reserved for the higher trims.
Competition
Once launched, the all-new Duster will go head-to-head against the Hyundai Creta, Tata SierraKia Seltos, Maruti Victoris and Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyrider, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun.
