The 2026 Renault Duster is finally here — and instead of focusing on design or features, we did the one thing that matters most: we drove it. The old Renault Duster was known for its hydraulic steering, rugged ride quality, and diesel performance. This new-generation Duster has big shoes to fill — and surprisingly, it delivers. Powered by a 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine producing 163hp, paired with a manual and a DCT automatic, the new Duster brings back something missing in this segment — driving character. In this video, we explore: • 2026 Renault Duster driving experience • 1.3 turbo petrol performance & gearbox • Ride quality and handling • What’s missing (no AWD, no diesel) • And how it compares to rivals like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Tata Sierra If you’re looking for a driver-focused SUV in India, this might be the one. #PowerDrift #PDArmy #RenaultDuster Join the 3 Million strong #PDArmy: http://bit.ly/PDARMY Merch Drop: http://www.powerdrift.com/merch Listen to the #PowerDriftPlaylist: https://spoti.fi/3Ny2uVr Follow us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/powerdrift/ Facebook: http://facebook.com/POWERDRIFTOFFICIAL/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/powerdrift WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VamrxqfL7UVRtRwR9F3N Threads: https://www.threads.net/@powerdrift Josh: https://bit.ly/3O8Y6fJ

Is it me or this is the best sounding turbo? The sound of blow-off valves going, beautiful 😍
9:20 onwards is probably the nicest thing i have seen an indian automotive outlet do. i see the hagerty reference haha
holy refresh pull
I see what you did at the end Camissa.
Peeps, I think many of us will install a mic under the bonnet and connect it to our speakers for the turbogasm !!!😂😂
The turbo woosh is crazy
editor be like ab deko mera jalwa!!!!😂😂😂 soo damm good man.
The car deserves this review ❤
The duster is back!! And more importantly Powerdrift is back!! finally a video that felt like the Powerdrift of the good old days.. An engaging storyline with amazing shots and soundtrack!!
Phewww… as a Duster owner, I feel people really forgot what a car should fundamentally offer. For the longest time, nothing even came close. Glad the Duster is back to set the benchmarks straight again. Great review, PD 👏 The last 60 seconds = Goosebumps
This guys understands characters in an engine. The other channels are saying turbo lags are bad. But I love it. The move from lag to the exponential acceleration is an amazing feeling.
7:22 holy turbo whistle 😮💨
My boy is metamorphosing into Tenhut. Talks like him, starting to look like him. PD is back on the throne mate!
“Moving living room!” Hello sierra😂
"Moving living room!! Not gonna lie... couldn't control my laughter 😅😅😅😅😅
Okay okay PD, those last 30 seconds ❤that is one hell of a reason youre gonna give a lot more new buyers there new duster 🤯sounds so good and pulls so well!
I bought the Duster after watching Power Drift videos, and it's 10 years old, but I still love that diesel car. It's powerful, confident, and no-nonsense. I've taken test drives of multiple cars for the past 4-5 years, and still no one can beat the Duster in that segment.If you want to buy a good car then you have to spend at least 60 to 70 lacs still. I love my old duster. I don't need any tech. It's fun to drive car.
Powerdrift never disappoints, cheers to brilliant reviewers 😈
