    Exterior The has decent exterior with good paint finish which has not given away since 5 years I have owned the vehicle . Renault has proved why they are known in Europe. Looks like a decent European car. Some would say rear is boxy , but by passing time , you start loving the look. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Simple is the only word . Lacks the posh looks 7 lakh+ sedan , but is decent for a person who buys the car for performance and not looks . The window and other control switches are slightly akwardly placed , but one gets used to it . The space in the car is good . Comfortable rear leg space. 4 people can sit easily . Surprisingly this car has more rear leg space than its younger sister Duster.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is really good . As is with all the modern diesel vehicle the low end torque is bit sluggish , but after 1500 rpm , it is very responsive . It picks up even at the touch of the accelerator . The engine is underutilised and could have been given more torque at lower rpms . Good FE of 19-20 kmpl on an average . The gearbox  is not exactly smooth , but seems to be sturdy and gives a lot of confidence . A slightly hard clutch which gives a message " dont press me complete" . If one learns that , its a cakewalk . Braking is very good and give lot of sense of confidence.

    Ride Quality & Handling It is a very comfortable car for both city and highway drives . It is a no nonsense car with a good suspension and responsive power steering.

    Final Words All in all, it is a no nonsense car made for the people who give preference to performance rather looks and styling. The car has a superb built quality much better than the indigenously manufactured cars.

    Areas of improvement Lack of ABS , Service centres , Mahindra should not have cannablised the car to promote the types of Xylos and Boleros.

    Good fuel economy , responsive engine, good boot and leg spacelack of market , poor low end torque , lack of ABS
