The new Renault Duster is a small SUV that went on sale in Australia in July 2025.
It's available in two equipment grades (Evolution and Techno) and with two turbocharged petrol powertrains: a 113kW/270Nm 1.3-litre engine powering the front wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission, and a 96kW/230Nm 1.2-litre mild-hybrid engine driving all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
The range opens at $31,990 plus on-road costs for the front-wheel drive 1.3L Evolution auto, and tops out at $37,990 plus on-roads for the all-wheel drive 1.2L Techno manual.
The new 2025 Duster is offered with a five-year, unlimited-km warranty.
