Renault Duster - I'm Loving it!

Exterior

Simply loving the way the exterior of this car designed. You will certainly fall in love with this one with the beautifully placed curves. I must say that the exterior design helped a lot to create a bulky look eventhough it is not that big.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

I am not a big fan the way the interior design done for this car. Even the top end version doesn't look premium inside the cabin. But the fact is you have all the required stuffs inside. Space is just ok. But very comfortable for long drive. Very good thigh support. Recently went for a long 700km drive and I didnt feel tired driving.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Probably the most interesting stuffs in this car is the engine performance and the way this 110ps pick up the power. I am just loving it. My decision to go for 110PS was worth enough and I realised it when I drove this car in high range. Fuel economy is OK. Getting 15+ for me..

Ride Quality & Handling

Simply love driving this machine. I drove this one at 160km/hr and i must say the car was steady. Ofcource I was not riding in 160 for long. Our roads will allow to do so only for a minute or so and I am happy to see this machine didnt dissappoint me..

Final Words

Really a good one to have. I suggest to go for 110ps to enjoy the complete performance and ride quality of this car. You may crib saying some of the key features are missing. But end of the day weigh it against the engine performance , ride quality & the way you able to handle this machine. I am loving it.  strongly recommend.

Before buying this car I was skeptical about the Service as I  heard a lot negative feedback about Not customer friendly Service Team. I am owning this car in Chennai and I must say categorically that all the Service personal i met before and after sale of this car were truly friendly and knowledgable in giving me proper service advices.

It won't be fair if I am not mentioning about this service engineer who helped me a lot in getting my car serviced on time and also with lot of important tips. Vivek Viswanath in Khivraj Motors Mountroad Service centre. I am specifially writing comments about Service culture here because I got really surprised to see the big difference in what it was written in some reviews against my true experience. I agree there were people who may not be friendly everywhere. But you have the rights to complain to the Sevice Manager or above if you are not getting the right support.

 

Areas of improvement  

-> I simply hate the rear AC vent and its looks like a motor sitting inside. Please change this one to a small one.

-> Can improve the quality of plastics in some areas without affecting the price

-> Please add more industry standard features like auto sensing wiper, head lamp, auto climate control etc.
