The new Renault Duster

Renault Duster 2027: A Bold New Era for the Iconic SUV

The Renault Duster returns with a completely reinvented design, advanced technology, and a broader range of powertrains, setting the stage for its next generation as the 2027 model year SUV. This latest iteration marks a major step forward for the rugged compact SUV, blending modern refinement with the adventurous spirit that made the Duster a global success.

Striking New Design

The 2027 Renault Duster introduces a more assertive and contemporary exterior, distancing itself from the previous generation while retaining its unmistakable SUV character. Key visual highlights include:

• A muscular, upright stance with flared wheel arches and heavy-duty cladding.

• Signature Y-shaped LED headlights and taillights that frame a bold new grille with the prominent Renault logo.

• Functional skid plates and modular roof bars capable of carrying substantial gear — ideal for adventure-minded buyers.

• A slightly larger footprint that improves both presence and interior space.
  
  

Inside, the cabin has been completely reimagined, with a focus on practicality, comfort, and digital connectivity. A spacious interior, ergonomic seating, and clever storage solutions emphasize usability for daily driving and weekend trips alike.

Advanced Technology & Connectivity

The Duster’s tech suite has been significantly upgraded for 2027, bringing features once reserved for premium segments into a more affordable SUV:

• A large 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Renault’s latest user interface.

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with wireless smartphone charging.

• A 7-inch digital driver display that provides customizable information at a glance.

• Optional premium audio systems and multifunction connectivity.

• A suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — including blind-spot monitoring, rear view cameras, and stability control — enhances safety and confidence on both city roads and rural tracks.
  
  

Powertrains: Petrol, Hybrid, and Efficiency Focus

For the 2027 model year, Renault offers a variety of powertrain options designed to balance performance, efficiency, and emissions compliance:

• Strong Hybrid E-Tech: A powerful hybrid setup combining a petrol engine with electric assistance. This system enables significant electric-only driving in city environments and efficient highway cruising.

• 48 V Mild-Hybrid Turbo: This option pairs a turbocharged petrol engine with a 48 V electric motor to reduce fuel consumption and enhance low-end torque.

• Bi-Fuel Petrol-LPG (ECO-G) and Other Variants: Some markets may see bi-fuel and alternative fuel options that boost flexibility and reduce running costs.
  
  

All-wheel-drive capability with selectable terrain modes — such as Snow, Mud/Sand, Off-Road, and Eco — ensures that the 2027 Duster remains capable in diverse conditions. Ground clearance is high, and approach/departure angles are designed for serious off-road adventures.

Comfort, Practicality & Off-Road Prowess

The new Duster combines everyday practicality with true SUV capability:

• A spacious cabin with increased legroom and cargo volume.

• Modular storage systems and durable materials tailored for active lifestyles.

• Excellent off-road geometry and a ground clearance that remains competitive in its segment.
  
  

Sustainability is also part of the package, with recycled materials used in exterior cladding and interior components — a nod to Renault’s broader environmental goals.

Positioning & Market Strategy

The 2027 Renault Duster arrives as part of Renault’s broader “International Game Plan 2027,” reinforcing the brand’s commitment to key global markets beyond Europe, such as India and the Middle East.

In regions like India, where it has already been unveiled for the 2026 model year, the Duster is expected to compete directly with popular compact SUVs — leveraging its rugged appeal, advanced tech, hybrid options, and strong value proposition to capture market share.
