All-new Renault Duster has been launched in turbo petrol variants with a petrol-electric hybrid variant scheduled to follow by Diwali
Renault today launched the all-new Duster in India at very aggressive prices. On top of the value-for-money pricing, there’s a standard 7-year/1,50,000 km warranty to sweeten the deal. Here’s how the all-new Duster’s ex-showroom prices compare with all the key rivals.
The all-new Renault Duster is available in India with 1.0- and 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engines. 1.0-litre is a manual-only variant priced from Rs. 10.29 lakh to Rs. 13.19 lakh with pre-bookings and Rs. 10.49 lakh to Rs. 13.49 lakh normally. The 1.3-litre variant is available in manual and automatic, with prices starting at Rs. 12.69 lakh to Rs. 18.09 lakh with pre-bookings and Rs. 12.99 lakh to Rs. 18.49 lakh normally.
The Tata Sierra is the closest rival of the all-new Renault Duster, and it is available with 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol, and 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engines. The naturally aspirated petrol engine and turbocharged diesel variants are available with manual and automatic transmissions, priced in the range of Rs. 11.49-16.79 lakh and Rs. 12.99-21.99 lakh, respectively.
