Renault is preparing to bring an all-new Renault Duster 7-Seater SUV to the Indian market by mid-2026. Expected to be positioned above the upcoming third-generation Duster, this new model will take on rivals like the Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV700. While the official name for India is yet to be confirmed, it is likely to be called the Renault Boreal in line with international markets.

Renault Duster 7-Seater SUV Launch and Price
The new Renault Duster 7-seater India launch is expected around July–August 2026, with prices likely in the range of ₹16 lakh to ₹26 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV will be manufactured at Renault’s Chennai facility alongside the new Duster.
Design and Dimensions
The Boreal will be based on the CMF-B modular platform and will be designed as a proper three-row SUV, not just an extended version of the Duster. Internationally, it measures 4,556mm in length, but the India-spec version could be slightly longer (around 4.7 metres) to provide more space in the third row. It is expected to have a bold front grille, wide LED headlamps, and a rugged stance with 213mm ground clearance.

Renault Duster 7-Seater SUV Interior and Features
Inside, Renault is aiming for a premium feel with a practical layout. The SUV will get dual 10-inch displays – one for the infotainment system and one for the digital driver’s display – along with features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat, and LED ambient lighting. Convenience features such as a 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, and a premium audio system are also expected.
On the safety front, the SUV will offer multiple airbags, ESP, hill hold assist, hill descent control, and a host of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.
Renault Duster 7-Seater SUV Engine and Mileage
Under the hood, the Renault Duster 7-Seater SUV will use a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 156hp and 270Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. While official mileage figures are yet to be revealed, this setup is expected to deliver competitive efficiency in its class. A hybrid version is also planned for 2027, combining a petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of around 155hp.
With its modern design, feature-rich cabin, and proven engine, the Renault Duster 7-seater could be a strong addition to India’s growing SUV segment when it arrives in 2026.
