Renault Duster is probably the most anticipated car launch of 2026 and the wait seems to have been worth it. We say this because new Duster is vastly praised by SUV buyers and it thoroughly impressed us at the media drive in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. You can read more about it in ourfirst drive review.
Lower variants have been reaching showrooms and we can see a Techno+ mid-spec variant in a detailed walkaround video by Area Of Interest. This variant sits below the top-spec Iconic and Iconic Launch Edition trims and packs most features many would need. Lets take a closer look at everything offered with Duster Techno+ mid variant.

Techno+ brings a host of features, technology and equipment than Techno, which is already a good VFM proposition to begin with, in the C Segment 4.2m to 4.5m SUV space.
