New Renault Duster - Good Enough for 2026?

The new Renault Duster 2026 is finally here, and I got the chance to see it in person at its unveil event in Chennai. While the launch is still two months away, I gathered whatever information I could that would help you shortlist your purchase in case you are considering buying it. The Duster 2026 is based on a new platform, and will get three engine options - a 1.0L turbo, a 1.3L turbo and a 1.8L hybrid. There won't be any diesel on offer, and I don't think Renault is even considering bringing its AWD version as well. While the prices will be out in March 2026 for the turbo versions and the deliveries for those will begin in April, the Duster 2026 Hybrid will be launched by Diwali 2026. I have tried to cover all the information you need to finalise your purchase. Note - The unit I shot on was provided by Renault during the Duster's unveil at Nehru Stadium, Chennai.
