India, Jan. 27 -- Renault has officially opened bookings for the third-generation Duster in India, marking the SUV's comeback after a three-year hiatus. Discontinued in 2022 with the first-generation model, the Duster now returns directly in its latest global form, as Renault skipped introducing the second-generation version for the Indian market.

Pre-bookings for the 2026 Renault Duster are now open at Rs.21,000. The SUV is scheduled to be launched in March, with customer deliveries of the turbo-petrol variants expected to begin by mid-April. The strong hybrid version will follow later, with deliveries planned around Diwali 2026. Renault has also confirmed a seven-year warranty for the new Duster, a first for the brand in India.
