Renault Duster 1.0 Turbo Rated 19.41 km/l by ARAI

The lab benchmark makes the 1.0‑litre manual the most economical Duster and tightens fuel‑efficiency competition as Renault readies a strong‑hybrid for Diwali 2026.

Overview

  • Renault India, which announced the figure on June 5, 2026, said the ARAI‑certified fuel efficiency for the Duster Turbo TCe 100 is 19.41 km/l in standard laboratory testing.
  • The TCe 100 uses a 1.0‑litre three‑cylinder turbo petrol engine that produces about 100 PS and 160 Nm and is offered only with a six‑speed manual transmission.
  • Renault says the engine was specifically calibrated for the new RGMP (Renault Group Modular Platform) to optimise combustion and driveline efficiency for the Duster.
  • The 1.0‑litre manual is offered across Authentic, Evolution and Techno trims with ex‑showroom prices around Rs 10.49 lakh to Rs 13.49 lakh, which may lower running costs for budget buyers compared with larger petrol options.
  • While the ARAI number gives a standard benchmark, outlets note real‑world mileage will vary with traffic, load and driving style, and Renault plans a Strong Hybrid E‑Tech Duster around Diwali 2026 to further cut city fuel use.
