2024 Renault Duster: French automaker Renault has officially unveiled the 2024 Duster SUV globally. Images of the new-gen Duster were revealed in the morning that showcased the exterior design and interior features of the third-gen SUV. As the 2024 Duster has now officially been revealed, all key specifications about its powertrain are also known. We reported about the exterior and interior details revealed of the SUV earlier in the day. Now, let’s get to the powertrain specifics of the new Renault Duster.

The new-generation Duster has been developed by Renault’s subsidiary brand Dacia. It is built on the more flexible CMF-B platform which will result in a more spacious interior for passengers. The usage of CMF-B platform has also opened up the possibility of electrifying the Duster SUV in the future while offering hybrid-powertrain configurations in the current iteration of the SUV. 

2024 Renault Duster - Powertrain and Performance  

The 2024 Renault Duster will be offered with three powertrain options - 1.6-litre four-cylinder hybrid petrol engine with two electric motors, 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and a 1.0-litre petrol-LPG engine. The 2024 Duster is equipped with performance features like a 4x4 Terrain Control with five driving modes - Auto, Snow, Mud/Sand, Off-road and Eco. 

The 1.6-litre four-cylinder hybrid petrol engine is paired with not one but two electric motors and an electric automatic gearbox. The engine churns out a power output of 92 bhp while one electric motor provides an additional 48 bhp and the other motor serves as a high-voltage starter generator. These motors source their power from a 1.2 kWh battery pack which recharges itself easily through brake regeneration. 

The 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine is offered with a 48V mild hybrid motor. Both these power houses are utilised while starting the car or during acceleration which results in lower fuel consumption. A 0.8 kWh battery is also present that charges itself with the help of a brake regeneration system. Power will be sent in two drivetrains - 4x2 and 4x4 via a 6-speed gearbox.

The 1.0-litre petrol-LPG engine can be run on both petrol and LPG fuel. This configuration is fitted with two 50 litres tanks - one for petrol and one for LPG. The transition between the two fuel types can be conveniently made through a switch placed on the dashboard that allows you to do so.
