2026 Renault Duster: An Overview
The third-gen Duster has been given a tweaked fascia for the Indian market that looks bold and more rugged over the international-spec versions. Key design highlights include the imposing ‘Duster’ moniker in the grille, sleek eyebrow-style LED DRLs, and dual-tone alloy wheels.
Renault has also given the new Duster 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, roof rails, a kink in the windowline near the C-pillar, wraparound LED tail lights with an illuminated connecting strip, and a rugged rear bumper.
Its interior is the biggest step up when compared to that of the last sold iteration of the Duster in India. The new model features soft-touch material throughout the cabin, sleek AC vents, a 3-spoke steering wheel with gloss black accents, and dual-digital displays. There’s also a carbon fibre trim insert on the co-driver side of the dashboard and brushed silver finishes in the centre console, on the door panels, and even on the dashboard.
The 2026 Renault Duster is equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch all-digital driver’s display, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and dual-zone climate control.
Its safety net comprises six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), rain-sensing wipers, a 360-degree camera, and even some advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
