New Renault Duster Adventure Edition gets cosmetic enhancements, two turbo petrol powertrain choices and a packed features list
Renault India has introduced the Duster Adventure Edition in the domestic market with prices starting at Rs. 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Unveiled on Bastille Day, the special edition celebrates the legacy of the Duster nameplate which established itself as one of India’s pioneering SUVs in the midsize space more than a decade ago.
It has also earned recognition for its ride quality, handling characteristics and touring capability. The launch ceremony was attended by H.E. Thierry Mathou, Ambassador of France to India, and Stéphane Deblaise, CEO, Renault Group India as the event honoured the French roots of the brand and the significance of the Duster in Renault’s Indian journey.
The Adventure Edition is based on the latest generation Duster which was launched only a few months ago and will be available with Turbo TCe 100 MT, Turbo TCe 160 MT and Turbo TCe 160 DCT powertrain options. Renault says the Adventure Edition draws inspiration from one of the themes most closely associated with the Duster over the years.

The special edition receives exclusive cosmetic additions without any changes to the SUV’s mechanical bits. Among the distinguishing elements are Adventure decals carrying topographical contour lines along with the geographical coordinates of Leh (34.27 N, 77.60 E), acknowledging the challenging terrain where the Duster established much of its reputation.
It also gains Adventure embellishers and premium Adventure floor mats. Alongside the styling package, the Adventure Edition gets a premium equipment list similar to the standard model. It features full LED headlamps, an electric panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, connected car technology through the My Renault application and a 10.1-inch OpenR Link infotainment system.
The SUV also rides on a set of 17-inch alloy wheels. The Duster continues to be offered with Renault’s 1.0-litre Turbo TCe 100 petrol and 1.3-litre Turbo TCe 160 petrol engines. The smaller turbocharged unit is hooked with a six-speed manual transmission while the more powerful 1.3-litre engine can be had with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Commenting on the new launch, Stéphane Deblaise, CEO, Renault Group India, said: “Iconic vehicles are remembered not simply for what they do, but for the place they earn in people’s lives. Duster belongs to that rare category. Over the years, it became part of countless journeys and lasting memories for customers across India. The Adventure Edition celebrates the enduring connection that people continue to have with the Duster nameplate.”
