Renault Duster ARAI Mileage Revealed, But There's a Catch!

Renault India has officially announced the ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of the all-new Duster powered by the 1.3-litre Turbo petrol engine.

Its DCT variant returns an impressive 18.45 km/l, while the 6-speed manual delivers 17.75 km/l. However, the catch is that Renault has not announced the ARAI fuel efficiency figures for the 1.0-litre powertrain yet.

Dr V Vikraman, Chief of Renault Engineering, Renault Group India, said,

“The ARAI-certified figures highlight the strength of our technology and our commitment to delivering superior all-round value. New Renault Duster’s Turbo 160 engine integrates advanced solutions such as low-friction coatings and high-pressure fuel injection to optimise combustion and efficiency.

Paired with Renault’s latest DCT automatic transmission, which ensures fast and seamless gear shifts, the powertrain delivers an excellent balance of performance and fuel efficiency while remaining strong and responsive on the road.”

The new Duster is currently offered with two engine options.

Its 1.3-litre Turbo petrol produces 160 bhp and 280 Nm of torque, making it the strongest in its class.
