Renault has introduced the new Duster Adventure Edition in India with an introductory starting price of ₹12.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on the Evolution trim, the special edition adds distinctive cosmetic elements and several premium features borrowed from higher variants. Available with all three existing powertrain options, the Adventure Edition is aimed at buyers looking for a more rugged appearance without sacrificing practicality or everyday usability. It also becomes the second special edition in the Duster lineup after the limited-run Iconic Edition.

ADVENTURE-INSPIRED EXTERIOR

The most noticeable highlight of the Adventure Edition is its exclusive topographical contour graphic placed on the rear quarter panel. The design also features the geographical coordinates of Leh (34.27 N, 77.60 E), paying tribute to the challenging terrain where the Duster underwent extensive testing. Matching Adventure Edition plaques on the front doors and specially designed floor mats further distinguish this model from the standard SUV while giving it a more adventurous identity.

FEATURE-RICH PACKAGE

Built on the Evolution trim, the Adventure Edition receives several premium features usually reserved for higher variants. Equipment includes a panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate and dual-zone automatic climate control. Other standard features comprise a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, LED lighting, 17-inch alloy wheels and six airbags, making it a well-equipped offering in the midsize SUV segment.

ENGINE OPTIONS

Renault offers the Adventure Edition with the complete Duster engine lineup. Buyers can choose the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 100 hp and 160 Nm, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. Those seeking higher performance can opt for the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 163 hp and 280 Nm, available with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
