2026 Renault Duster features list
The 2026 Renault Duster comes well equipped on the feature front. It gets a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 10.24-inch digital instrument cluster, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other highlights include dual-zone climate control, ventilated and powered front seats with 6-way adjustment and manual lumbar support, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and six-speaker sound system, among others. There’s also an electric tailgate, with boot space rated at 518 litres up to the parcel shelf and 700 litres up to the roof.
On the safety side, it packs six airbags along with front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, hill start assist, and more.

Renault Duster 2026 engine options
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0-litre Petrol turbo | 100PS | 160Nm | 6-speed manual |
| 1.3-litre Petrol turbo | 163PS | 280Nm | 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) 6-speed manual |
| 1.8-litre Strong Hybrid Petrol + electric motor | 160PS | 172Nm | 8-speed multi-mode |
The new Renault Duster engine range is split between pure petrol and hybrid setups. The smaller 1.0-litre turbo is positioned as the efficiency-focused option and comes only with a manual gearbox. The 1.3-litre turbo sits as the performance-oriented choice, offering both manual and automatic (DCT) options.
The hybrid system uses a 1.8-litre petrol engine paired with two electric motors. One motor assists in power generation, while the second handles wheel drive. The system is backed by a 1.4kWh battery. In urban conditions, the hybrid can operate in electric mode at low speeds and recovers energy through braking. Renault states that a large share of city usage can be covered without relying on the petrol engine.
