    Exterior The exterior looks have come out very well ,gives it a rugged SUV look,the best part is the railers at top,and wheel arches.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space & Comfort is definetly enough,and not many will criticize this,the positioning of various control buttons like,side mirror control, rear ac vent which hurts the elbow when you do quick gear changes and handbrakes. The fit and finish for a price of 1e lakhs on road is not soo great.there are not many feautures but the verdict on interiors will be well to do.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Weight to power ratio is the key point,a 1.5 litre engine with 110 bhp with 248 nm torque is a pleasure to drive it in city and highways,where you will find good responsive engine and very good fuel efficiency.the gearbox is positioned like in any other sedan,and it will give immense comfort on frequent gear changes,considering duster is an SUV. Over all,the less weight of the vechile gives the best in class performance overall.

    Ride Quality & Handling Excellent handling and this car can be used well even as a off roader. fantastic wheel base with overall height of the vechile short than many other SUV's, which ensures very good control, and comfort with a advantage of not much body roll which is a acceptable disadvantage of any other suv. in short, excellent iun this aspect.

    Final Words This is a compact SUV which can be used by any driver,enjoy the pleasure of driving and pay less for the package it is...A normal user who drives less than 1000 kms a m onth can afford it at a cost of 8 lakhs for a petrol verion and a serious traveller can buy the top end diesel with good fuel economy at a price of 13 lakhs and definetly save atleast 3-4 lakhs by not buying any other SUV of this kind.

    Areas of improvement The alternative product for duster is not much,hence currently for the price its positioned very well,only future competition should teach them some areas of improvement if any in future.But saying that,this SUV can definetly improve on the interior part at may be even higher costs,giving the loved ones of the car a better interior styling and ergonomics.
