Renault Australia has cut prices across its Duster SUV range by up to $5000 per variant. The base Duster Evolution 4×2 is now listed at $29,990 drive-away nationwide, down from a previous drive-away deal of $34,990.
Why it matters
The price reduction lowers the entry point to Renault's Duster range for private buyers in Australia. The offer applies to private purchases only and excludes fleet, government and rental buyers.
The base Duster Evolution 4×2 uses a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 113kW and 270Nm, while the 4×4 variants use a 1.2-litre three-cylinder with 48V mild-hybrid assistance producing 96kW and 230Nm. The Suzuki Jimny Lite lists at $31,990 before on-road costs, compared with the Jimny XL auto at $37,490.
The players
Renault Australia
The Australian arm of the French carmaker Renault, which sells the Duster SUV range in the Australian market.

Qualifying purchases must be made by private buyers and delivered between 1 November and 31 December 2026. Renault's advertised models include only the Duster's no-cost Solid White exterior finish, with other colours adding $850.
Timeline
1 November 2026: qualifying Duster purchase and delivery period begins.
31 December 2026: qualifying Duster purchase and delivery period ends.
Market Landscape
Renault's Duster discount places it directly against the Suzuki Jimny in the compact off-road SUV segment in Australia. The reduced drive-away prices narrow the gap between the two models' entry points and the upper trims.
Private buyers who take delivery of a Duster between 1 November and 31 December 2026 can reduce their purchase cost by up to $5000 on three non-base variants. Buyers choosing a non-white exterior should budget an extra $850 on top of the advertised drive-away price.
The takeaway
Buyers comparing compact SUVs should check whether a drive-away price includes on-road costs and whether their chosen colour carries an additional charge. The Duster's current pricing makes the base model a lower-cost option than its previous drive-away deal.
