Renault Duster 2026 - The Definitive Review | 1.3 Turbo 6 DCT & Manual | Watch Befoee Buying

The Renault Duster is back — and it's making a serious case for itself in India's most competitive SUV segment. In this definitive review, we drive both the 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol variants — the 6-speed DCT automatic and the 6-speed manual — across city roads, highways, and broken terrain to give you the complete picture before you book yours. We cover everything: real-world performance, ride quality, NVH levels, boot space, ADAS features, safety ratings, fuel efficiency figures, and how the Duster stacks up against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun. Is the Duster's French DNA still alive in 2026? Is the DCT gearbox smooth enough for Indian traffic? Does the suspension setup actually handle Indian roads better than the competition? We answer all of it.
