Renault is all set to launch the Hybrid version of the Duster in India today, October 17, 2026. Called the E-Tech 160, the hybrid will become the third powertrain option in the Duster line-up, joining the existing 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engines.
Bookings for the Duster Hybrid opened alongside the standard model in March 2026 but were later suspended after demand outstripped availability. Renault reopened bookings earlier this month, with a token amount of Rs 21,000.
The Strong Hybrid Duster will finally be launched in India today. Watch this space to get all the information on it firsthand.
Called the E-Tech 160, it will sit above the existing 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol options.
The Duster’s new powertrain will compete with the strong-hybrid versions of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Victoris and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
