New-Gen Renault Duster Arriving In Early 2026 – All Key Details

GaadiWaadi -

New Renault Duster will more likely hit the domestic market in early 2026 and it will be packed with features and technologies

The Duster nameplate is pumped up for a comeback in India and this time the timing feels more critical than ever. Having already been seen testing on local roads multiple times, the new-gen model is clearly in the advanced stages of validation before its market debut in the early parts of next year and its Nissan sibling is bound for mid-2026.

But unlike its first innings, the new Duster won’t have the playground to itself. The battlefield has grown brutal packed with heavy hitters like the Hyundai Creta and Mahindra Scorpio N. Add to that the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, recently launched Victoris and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder which have pushed hybrid technology into the mainstream.

It will also take on the MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq and Honda Elevate. Renault’s upcoming Duster for India will be based on a highly localised version of the CMF-B modular platform which has powered several European models. It will be manufactured at the long serving facility in Oragadam near Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

The upcoming Renault Duster features a high centre console oriented toward the driver and an e-shifter gear lever for its automatic transmission globally along with a 10.1-inch openR multimedia touchscreen that supports wireless smartphone mirroring, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, Y-shaped patterns on the door panels and air vents and more.

Other highlights are a dual-zone automatic climate control system, a leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel, wireless smartphone charging, six airbags, electronic stability control, Type-C charging ports and a 360-degree camera system. It also incorporates advanced driver aids like lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking.

Last year, Renault-Nissan released teaser shots of the India-focused Duster alongside its Nissan counterpart and both are currently on road tests. Engine options haven’t been officially confirmed yet but speculation suggests the SUV might get a pair of turbocharged petrol mills – paired with both manual and automatic gearboxes.

The all-new Duster may also be available with a hybrid powertrain as it is being evaluated for the future. The midsize five-seater will make way for a three-row sibling down the line similar to the Boreal found in the international markets.
