Renault Duster 2026: Major competitors
Expectations are high for an aggressive pricing strategy that positions the new Duster as a strong contender against segment leaders like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and Honda Elevate. Industry estimates suggest a starting price around Rs 10-12 lakh (ex-showroom) for base variants, potentially stretching to Rs 18-20 lakh for top-end models with hybrid options.
Renault Duster 2026: Features
The 2026 Duster turns heads with its boxy rectangular LED headlights paired with sleek LED daytime running lights. Check out the bold “Duster” badge smack on the grille, plus rugged fake skid plates front and back. Side air vents flank the lower bumper, wrapped in tough black plastic cladding everywhere. At the rear, C-shaped LED taillamps connect via a glowing light bar, topped with a built-in spoiler, wiper, washer, dark tailgate panel, and shark-fin antenna.
Blacked-out accents hit the mirrors, B- and C-pillars, roof rails, and alloys for that aggressive vibe. Color choices span six shades: Jade Mountain Green, Pearl White, Moonlight Silver, Stealth Black, River Blue, and Sunset Red, with dual-tone options incoming too.
