New Renault Duster

The new Duster delivered a highly competitive performance across both adult and child occupant protection categories:

Adult Occupant Protection: 30.49 / 32
Child Occupant Protection: 45 / 49

The rating is based on tests conducted on the EVOLUTION (Turbo 160 MT), TECHNO (Turbo 160 DCT) & ICONIC (Turbo 160 MT), with the 5‑star certification applicable across the entire range, reinforcing Renault’s approach of offering advanced safety without variant‑based compromise.

From the early stages of development, the new Duster was engineered to meet stringent 5‑star safety targets, and the BNCAP result decisively validates that ambition. Built on a robust RGMP platform with enhanced structural integrity, the SUV has been designed to deliver consistent and predictable occupant protection across crash scenarios.

At the same time, the new Duster continues to build on its legacy of confident, well‑balanced driving dynamics, with a focus on ride comfort, handling stability, and assurance across diverse Indian road conditions. The 5‑star BNCAP rating now completes this proposition, bringing together driving capability and verified safety performance in one cohesive package.

This achievement aligns with Renault’s global Human First Program, where safety is embedded early into design, engineering, and product validation.

The all‑new Duster comes equipped with 35 safety features as standard, ensuring a comprehensive and consistent safety baseline across all variants. Key features include:

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
6 Airbags
Hill Hold Control & Hill Descent Control
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors
3-point seat belts for all passengers
Seat belts reminders for all passengers

In addition, the SUV offers 17 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), strengthening active safety and driver awareness in real‑world conditions. These include:
