Know before you choose

  • Authentic has no touchscreen or speakers, manual AC and steel wheels. Evolution is the realistic starting point.
  • The 1.0 turbo is manual-only and stops at Adventure. For an automatic you need the 1.3 DCT, from ₹14.49 lakh.
  • Turbo petrol: ADAS and the 360° camera are Iconic-only; blind-spot warning and front sensors start at Techno+. The hybrid range does not offer these features, including on Emotion.

Delivery checklistKnow what to check before taking the keys.

Duster delivery checklist

A quick pre-delivery inspection (PDI) before you accept your car.

  • Match the VIN, Duster variant, powertrain and paint on the vehicle against your order and invoice before accepting delivery.
  • Inspect the clean car in daylight: paint, panels, glass, tyres, lights, seats and every promised accessory. Photograph concerns and get a written resolution.
  • Ask the dealer to demonstrate a normal start, dashboard warning-light self-check, air conditioning, keys and the controls fitted to your variant.
