New Renault Duster 2026 live launch and latest updates: The new Duster returns to India in its third generation. It will get an all-new powertrain, design and a platform as well. Once launched, it will go against the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun.
Renault is ready to pull the covers off the next-generation Duster for India today, bringing back one of its most recognisable nameplates.

Here’s a full review of the Kia Seltos, which was recently heavily updated for the Indian market. It will be one of the biggest rivals for the upcoming Renault Duster.
Renault also sells the Triber in India. The MPV was recently updated, and it is the most affordable 7-seater vehicle in the market.
Renault’s India volumes have been largely driven by the Kwid, underlining the need for a strong, higher-value SUV.
Despite early success, the Duster gradually lost momentum due to an ageing design, limited updates, and rising competition.
Before the flood of midsize SUVs, the Duster stood out for its ride quality, diesel efficiency, and go-anywhere character.
The new Duster is expected to feature a more rugged, squared-off design, moving away from the softer styling of the outgoing model.
The original Duster played a big role in making midsize SUVs mainstream in India. Its comeback is crucial for Renault as SUVs continue to dominate the market.
Renault first launched the Duster in India in 2012.
Renault will launch the new Duster in Chennai where the event is taking place. Starting at 6:30 PM, the event will start and interested people can also watch it on YouTube.
