Overview

• The Duster is priced from $31,990 to $37,990 before on-road costs and is available in FWD automatic and AWD mild-hybrid manual configurations.
• Front-drive models use a 113kW/270Nm 1.3-litre turbo four with a seven-speed dual-clutch, while the all-wheel-drive versions run a 96kW/230Nm 1.2-litre turbo mild-hybrid with a six-speed manual.
• Renault touts off-road features such as hill-descent control, off-road driving modes and a 212mm ground clearance with approach and departure angles of 31 and 36 degrees.
• Reviewers commend the Duster’s expansive 358-litre boot (stretching to 1,424 litres with seats down) and seating space for tall adults, but they note a utilitarian interior and fussy infotainment menus.
• ANCAP testing is still pending, early allocations are capped through early 2026, and Renault plans an aftermarket styling package alongside inconsistent reports on prepaid service-plan pricing.
