About

The Renault Duster Automatic Diesel is a well-rounded mid-size SUV that has been a staple in the Indian market since its introduction. It boasts a powerful 1.5L DCI diesel engine that delivers 110PS, paired with an AMT gearbox that, despite some minor quirks, provides smooth and efficient transmission. The Duster is renowned for its excellent ride quality, thanks to its independent rear suspension, and its high ground clearance makes it adept at handling various terrains. The vehicle offers a spacious cabin and a large 475-liter boot, making it ideal for family trips and long road journeys. Additionally, features like Hill Assist and a comfortable rear seat add to its practicality. While the interior design and build quality may not be the most modern, the Dusters overall package of performance, comfort, and practicality makes it a compelling choice in its segment.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Renault Duster Automatic Diesel is a robust and practical choice for those seeking a reliable mid-size SUV. Its K9K 1.5L DCI engine, producing 110PS, offers ample power and refinement, making it suitable for both city commuting and long highway trips. The AMT gearbox, while not perfect, is generally smooth and efficient, especially once you get accustomed to its slight jerks and hesitations at slow speeds. The Dusters ride quality is one of its standout features, providing excellent comfort and stability across various road conditions. However, the interior and build quality could be improved, and the lack of an AWD option with the AMT is a notable omission. Overall, its a solid choice for those prioritizing ride comfort, ground clearance, and a spacious cabin, but it may not appeal to those seeking the latest in interior design and features.

Price

The Renault Duster Automatic Diesel, specifically the AMT variant, is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price typically ranges between 12 lakh to 15 lakh, depending on the trim level and features. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can go up to 16 lakh to 19 lakh. This pricing makes the Duster a viable option for those looking for a mid-size SUV with automatic transmission, especially considering its strong performance, spacious interior, and excellent ride quality. However, the premium for the AMT over the manual transmission is noticeable, and buyers should weigh this against their specific needs and preferences.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 29 November 2023 06:19 PM The new Renault Duster, set to launch in India in early 2025, will not feature a diesel engine option. This marks a significant shift as it will be the first Duster to be offered solely with petrol engines. I think this move is a step towards embracing more environmentally friendly technologies.

Saturday, 18 November 2023 06:59 AM Renault has confirmed that the 2024 Duster will be available with three petrol engine options, but none of them will be diesel. The engines include a 1.6-litre petrol with a full hybrid system, a 1.2-litre mild-hybrid petrol, and a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol/LPG-compatible engine. This change aligns with the global trend of reducing diesel offerings.

Wednesday, 08 November 2023 10:35 PM The upcoming Renault Duster has been revealed, and it will be built on the new CMF-B global platform. This platform change does not include any diesel engine options, marking a departure from previous models. I believe this platform will enhance the overall performance and efficiency of the vehicle.

Wednesday, 09 August 2023 07:12 PM Renault has officially announced that the 2024 Duster will not have a diesel variant, focusing instead on petrol and hybrid options. This decision reflects the companys strategy to adapt to changing market preferences and emission standards.

Monday, 08 May 2023 04:43 PM The design of the new Renault Duster has been unveiled, showing a sleek LED headlight setup and Y-shaped LED DRLs, but there is no mention of a diesel engine. The vehicles interior features a 10.1-inch floating touchscreen and a 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster, indicating a modern and tech-savvy approach.

Thursday, 20 April 2023 10:37 AM Renault has stated that the new Duster will be manufactured in India and exported to both RHD and LHD markets, but it will only be available with petrol engines. This local production will help in pricing the vehicle competitively in the Indian market.

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 09:15 PM The 2024 Renault Dusters absence of a diesel engine is part of a broader strategy to reduce emissions and comply with stricter environmental regulations. This move is expected to impact the vehicles appeal in markets where diesel engines are still popular.

Friday, 10 February 2023 05:32 AM Renaults decision to drop the diesel engine from the new Duster is seen as a response to the increasing demand for more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. This shift could attract a new segment of buyers who prioritize these factors.

Wednesday, 25 January 2023 07:46 PM The new Renault Duster, without a diesel option, will compete against other popular SUVs in India such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara. The lack of a diesel engine might affect its competitiveness in this segment.

Thursday, 15 December 2022 08:22 AM Renault has emphasized that the new Dusters petrol and hybrid engines will offer improved performance and efficiency, compensating for the absence of a diesel option. The vehicles advanced features and new platform are expected to enhance the driving experience.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 10:18 PM The Renault Duster Automatic Diesel offers respectable fuel efficiency, especially considering its size and capabilities. In city driving, it can return around 12.9-14.8 kmpl, while on highways, it can achieve up to 17.4-19 kmpl. These figures make it a reasonable choice for those concerned about running costs, as the AMT gearbox does not significantly compromise the fuel economy compared to the manual transmission.
