Renault has launched the all-new BS6 compliant 1.3L Turbo Petrol engine on the Renault Duster SUV at the price starting INR 10.49 lakh ex-showroom available in manual and CVT automatic gearbox options spread over 5 variant trims. With the new 1.3-litre Turbo-Petrol engine the Renault Duster claims to be the most powerful SUV in the segment.
The new 1.3-litre Turbo-Petrol unit is an advanced, high-power, Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) Dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT), BS6 compliant engine that offers best-in-class power of 156PS @ 5500 rpm and 254 Nm of torque @1600 rpm. The turbo-petrol engine claims to deliver a fuel efficiency of 16.5 kmpl in manual transmission and 16.42 kmpl in the CVT version.
The 1.3-litre Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection with Dual VVT is matched to a 6-speed manual transmission and an X-Tronic 7-step CVT gearbox. The direct injection system along with the variable valve system ensures high fuel efficiency along with reduced exhaust gas emissions and higher low-end torque.
