The anticipation has come to an end! Following a grand re-launch in mid-March, the 2026 Renault Duster's deliveries are officially underway across India this week.

The third-generation Duster has already amassed over 50,000 bookings, with most customers choosing the powerful 1.3-litre turbo-petrol variants.

Renault has truly elevated the interior experience, outfitting the new Duster with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Google built-in features, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front seats.

Safety takes center stage with 6 airbags as standard and the introduction of Level 2 ADAS, marking its debut in a Renault vehicle in India.
