Renault India Announces ARAI Certified Mileage of 19.4 KMPL for Duster Turbo
The upcoming sport utility vehicle achieves the certified efficiency through its new platform architecture.
Renault India Private Limited has announced the official Automotive Research Association of India certified fuel efficiency figures for its upcoming sport utility vehicle variant, the new Duster Turbo TCe 100. According to the manufacturer, the localized powertrain configuration has achieved a certified fuel economy rating of 19.41 kilometers per liter. The validation data comes as part of the company's final engineering evaluations ahead of the vehicle's commercial market deployment.
The new SUV is constructed on the carmaker's all-new RGMP platform architecture. The mid-size vehicle is equipped with a dedicated turbocharged petrol engine that has been calibrated exclusively to align with this specific platform layout. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the powertrain is engineered to deliver 100 PS of maximum power and 166 Nm of peak torque, balancing commuter drivability with reduced fuel consumption under diverse domestic driving conditions.
Dr. V. Vikraman, Chief of Renault Engineering at Renault Group India, stated that the certified testing results reflect a core engineering focus on structural efficiency and combustion optimization. The localized development forms a key component of the French automaker's broader corporate transformation strategy, which aims to shift its domestic product portfolio toward more competitive and balanced vehicle architectures.
