Renault has detailed the three trims of the Duster Hybrid, priced at Rs 16.99 lakh for the Evolution, about Rs 19 lakh for the Techno and Rs 19.49 lakh for the Emotion (ex-showroom). All variants share a 1.8-litre petrol engine, two electric motors and a 1.4 kWh self-charging battery delivering 157.8 hp combined. Renault claims a certified mileage of 29 kmpl and a range of over 1,400 km, with electric mode covering up to 80% of city driving.

Standard features across all trims include six airbags, hill start assist, cruise control with a speed limiter, rear park assist and a rear camera. The Evolution trim offers a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, LED taillamps and 18-inch flex wheels. The Techno adds a panoramic sunroof, LED headlamps and push-button start, while the Emotion brings a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, powered tailgate and ventilated front seats. Renault also offers the Protect 360 package with three years of comprehensive insurance and a 60% assured resale value.
The Rs 2 lakh jump from Evolution to Techno delivers features many buyers may consider essential, such as a panoramic sunroof and LED headlamps, while the Rs 49,000 step to Emotion adds ventilated seats and a powered tailgate, making it the cheapest upgrade per feature. The hybrid’s Rs 1.5 lakh premium over the 1.3-litre turbo variant means the payback depends entirely on an individual’s annual fuel savings. The Protect 360 package’s eligibility by trim is a detail the buyer must confirm before factoring it into the decision.
