]]> Renault Duster Set to Challenge Hyundai Creta with Return and Hybrid Options https://newsanalysisindia.com/auto/renault-duster-set-to-challenge-hyundai-creta-with-return-and-hybrid-options/ Sat, 09 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 http://newsanalysisindia.local/renault-duster-set-to-challenge-hyundai-creta-with-return-and-hybrid-options/ The Renault Duster is poised to make a comeback to the market, positioning itself as a major competitor to the Hyundai Creta. Production of this SUV is scheduled to commence in September 2025, with a launch expected in the first half of 2026, possibly in the first quarter. A hybrid version of the Renault Duster is also planned, to be introduced within 12 months of the petrol model’s launch.

Globally, the Duster is known as the Renault Boreal. A 7-seater version could be launched in late 2026 or 2027. However, these details are based on media reports. Renault India has not yet made any official announcements regarding the launch of the Duster hybrid or 7-seater versions. Nissan will also launch its own models of the new Duster and its 7-seater version, which will feature some different characteristics.

One of the key features of the new Renault Duster is its range of engine options. These include a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, 1.0-liter or 1.3-liter turbo petrol engines, and a strong hybrid engine. In global markets, the SUV is available with a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 94 bhp. This version incorporates two electric motors and a 1.2 kWh battery, delivering a combined power output of 140 bhp.

A CNG version of the Renault Duster is also in the works. According to reports, this CNG option might not be directly from the company but could be fitted through partners like Minda Westport. Furthermore, an electric version of the new Renault Duster is also under consideration. With such a diverse range of engine options, the new Duster is set to offer robust competition to the Hyundai Creta, which is also slated to introduce a hybrid version in 2027.
