Updated Renault Duster (2026) Price & Specs
The updated Renault Duster has touched down in South Africa. Here’s a look at what’s changed, along with pricing and specifications.
This updated Renault Duster is sourced from Renault’s factory in Chennai, India which means the Romanian Euro-spec Duster era has come to an end. This is the same factory which assembles the Nissan Tekton, the Duster’s twin.
It is assembled on the Renault-Nissan Alliance CMF-B platform and will be available in a five-model line up with a choice of two engines and two transmissions. Sadly there’s no sign of a 4×4 configuration or a diesel engine.
The engine range kicks off with a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol motor which makes 74 kW and 160 Nm. This is available with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Next up is a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 116 kW and 260 Nm, and that can be had with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, badged as EDC.
Customers have the choice of five colours; Moonlight Silver, Mountain Jade Green, Pearl White, Sunset Red, River Blue. In terms of trim, there are four levels. Renault’s OpenR Link infotainment with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay is standard as are 6 airbags, stability control, hill start assist, tyre pressure sensors and a rearview camera.
How much does the updated Renault Duster range cost in South Africa?
The prices below include a 3-year/45 000 km service plan and a 5-year/150 000 km warranty. We understand that the 4×4 mild-hybrid manual derivative from Europe will continue to be sold alongside the newer models.
New Derivative New Price Old Price
Evolution 1.0T Manual R339 999 New
Evolution 1.3T Manual R379 999 New
Techno 1.3T EDC R399 999 1.3T Zen R489 999
Techno+ 1.3T EDC R439 999 New

Why is it called a Duster?
Because these French Pieces of Shyte only go usefully fast in one direction, down a mine shaft, taking all the dust with them.

Updated (India-built) Renault Duster: price and specs
Renault South Africa has launched the updated, Indian-built Duster in our market. See pricing below…
Renault South Africa has introduced the updated Duster to our market. The revised model is built at Renault’s Chennai Plant in India and is underpinned by the firm’s new CMF-B modular platform. The Duster’s bodywork measures 4 343 mm in length, 1 813 mm in width, 1 656 mm in height, and 2 657 mm between front and rear axles. The refreshed Duster has a ground clearance of 212 mm. The new model is 3 mm longer, 35 mm narrower and 3 mm shorter than the outgoing variant.
Buyers can choose between two powertrain options. The first is a 1.3-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol developing 116 kW and 260 N.m – the latter delivered to the front wheels via either a six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch transmission (EDC). The second is a 1.0-litre turbo-triple petrol engine producing 74kW and 160 N.m. The less powerful unit is exclusively coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox.
