"156PS and 254Nm, it makes 50PS and 112Nm more than the standard Duster petrol."
The Renault Duster Turbo made its first public appearance at this year’s edition of the Auto Expo. Renault is now set to launch the most powerful version of the Duster in August 2020. The model will feature slightly sportier aesthetics and a brand new 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol. With the launch of the Turbo variant, a CVT auto will also be reintroduced in the Duster’s lineup.
It gets red colour inserts on the front grille, fog lamp housing as well as on the Duster badging on the tailgate and roof rails. It will also get redesigned 17-inch alloys, a size bigger than the standard model.

The new engine is good for 156PS and 254Nm, that is 50PS and 112Nm more than the standard Duster petrol. It is even more powerful and torquier than the previously offered 1.5-litre diesel engine (110PS/245Nm).
The Duster Turbo will come equipped with a 6-speed MT and a 7-step CVT. On the other hand, the regular Duster is offered with a 1.5-litre petrol engine (106PS/142Nm) mated to a 5-speed MT. This is the same engine that was recently introduced with the Nissan Kicks.
