Renault India has opened bookings for the much-anticipated all-new Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160. The hybrid SUV will feature a 1.8-litre four-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol engine paired with two electric motors and a 1.4kWh battery. The powertrain will produce a combined 160PS and 172 Nm of torque. One of the key highlights of the Renault Duster Strong Hybrid is its ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 29kmpl. The strong hybrid powertrain on offer will ensure that the Renault Duster remains a compelling proposition in the midsize SUV segment. It is poised to be a worthy competitor against the rival Hyundai Venue and Tata Punch in the entry-level segment while also offering a fuel-efficient alternative to the conventional petrol SUVs on the market.
Renault’s Duster has always been synonymous with style and utility, and the E-Tech hybrid powertrain on offer will only elevate the driving experience. With the introduction of the E-Tech 160, Renault will enable its customers to experience the best of both worlds- the power of a petrol engine and the efficiency of an electric motor. The 1.4kWh battery pack will complement the 1.8-litre naturally-aspirated engine and will add to the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain.
Renault India has begun accepting bookings for the new Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160.
