Which Renault Duster variant should you buy?

There are 11 ways to buy a Duster, across 5 trims, from ₹10.49L to ₹18.49L ex-showroom Delhi.

Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Iconic: ₹1.70L more than Techno+, and no rung you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee.

The ladder keeps paying to the end here: Iconic is both the last step up and the one that asks least per feature.

How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.
