2020 Renault Duster turbo-petrol: Prices and Variants explained

Renault India has recently launched the Renault Duster with a new 1.3-litre turbo-petrol motor. This motor debuted in India with the Nissan Kicks last month and has now been added to the Duster as well. Meeting BSVI norms, this engine effectively replaces the K9K diesel engine that has now been discontinued.

This 1,330cc turbo petrol makes 156PS at 5,500rpm and generates 254Nm of torque at 1,600rpm. The ARAI-rated fuel economy figures are 16.5 kmpl for the manual and 16.42 kmpl with the CVT version. This Energy TCe motor features direct injection and variable valve timing and has been jointly developed by Renault-Nissan and Daimler. Internationally, it debuted on Renault cars in Europe in 2018 on the Scénic and Grand Scénic. It has since been made available on the Clio, Megane and international-spec Captur. For Mercedes-Benz, this motor powers its line-up of compact cars like the A-Class, B-Class, GLA, GLB and CLA.

In India, the 1.5-litre petrol will continue to be sold alongside this engine, with prices starting from Rs 8.59 lakh. The base Duster with a turbo-petrol engine starts from Rs 10.49 lakh. The new engine pairs with either a six-speed manual or a seven-step CVT.
