Renault Duster [2015-2016] User Reviews

Duster was not even on my mind when I decided to buy a car. I was hell bent on buying a sedan and buying the Honda city was what I was going to do until a distant cousin came to visit us along with his duster. I decided to take a drive and that evening we went off road from Nagpur towards Nagzira. It was a wonderful experience, the car was not only smooth to drive but the suspension was truly amazing. This was the 110 ps Duster AWD. I was totally impressed with how the car felt on the highways, very good pickup and performance when it comes to the engine. The clutch and steering were light so never felt exhausted. It is very spacious and comfortable too, even the interiors are really good with red and black upholstery. I booked it just after the drive and I have been driving it around since past six months. With respect to driving, handling, comfort and off road driving, this is the best SUV to buy.

On dated 16.07.2015, my car Duster, which break down in patpatganj, Delhi due to clutch problem. No assistance had been given despite making various calls to AVIA Dealer Patparganj, Delhi, and I was only half km apart from the above mentioned dealer. I have also made several calls on toll free complaint N0 180030044444, but after standing more than 2 hours on road, No kind of assistance has been provided by dealer , service centre and by on road service assistance. Then I tow the vehicle myself to AVIA Auto Services Pvt Ltd Patparganj Industrial Area.

I have purchased the above vehicle on 1 April 2015. First service was being done on 9 June 2015. My vehicle has covered only approximately 1900Km and I am very much surprised and shocked that clutch problem arises in New vehicle which has cover less than 2000 km. Till date my vehicle is not rectified and I am not satisfied from after sale service of Duster plz note that I am sharing my personal experience. From Neeraj Gupta, Bhajanpura,Delhi 110053 Mobile: 9312XXXXXX.

EXTERIOR IS GOODI HV OBSERVED CLUTCH PROBLEM AFTER COVERING ONLY LESS THAN 1900 KM & VERY POOR AFTER SALE SERVICE

Final Words Very bad experience. I bought that vehicle 4 months back looking the style but the engine performance is very bad. Before 2nd service I went to service station at Bhubaneswar by refilling engine oil. But there is no leakage of engine oil. The engine was about to seize. Breaking arrangement is good ,look is very good. This vehicle is ok for running in High way but not on ghat road. In the humps u have to come back for 1st gear cant drive in 2nd gear.Shockabsorber is very good. But the engine performance to be improved as in my vehicle the engine oil burnt before 2nd service which is an alram to the engine performance.Nobody can compromise withh the performance of the engine. If engine is not ok then what for the look is? company should take care of the engine how to perform best. Looking forward best coperation from the company to solve customer issue.

Good styleGood interiors & spacious

I have purchased the Duster car for more than a year now.

This was from the JP Nagar Showroom in Bangalore. Guruprasad was the sales guy for the accessories. 

The sales guys convinced me to go for a video player that was sold as an accessory. It did not come cheap. Close to 35K.

Right from the time it was delivered it did not work with the Steering Controls. Now I have followed up with the Sales guys several times, every time they say they will send the vendor, or someone to fix the issue but that never happened.

During the first service, they said this was missed and they will send someone to fix it. 

Now during the second service they say that the product recommended is not compatible at all with the Steering controls. 

 

I just feel completely cheated by Renault.

My number is +91 99456 93822.

This car is best of all sedan cars and it has a comfy space . I have used this car many times and I'm in love with it, it is just becomes my travel mate . A little drawback of this car is that it is being heavy to your pocket as it consumes more amount of petrol comparatively.

I have driven this car for 10,000 kms for the past 7 months & I must admit driving this mini beast is a delight.

I just love the driving & ride comfort. The shock absorbers / suspension of the car is awesome. You will rarely feel the potholes & bad roads even at high speed. This car is really stable and cut out for handling bad roads.

I took this car for hill driving and the experience was fabulous. The car was really stable and handles sharp bends relly smoothly.

I have heard -ive reviews about interiors but honestly, I find them more than decent. The Air-conditioning is very nice. Music system is also very good. 

The cabin is extremely quite. You would hardly be distracted by any engine noise or the sound of the wind outside. 

The seats at the back are wide and 3 normal sized people can sit comfortably. Boot space is also very spacious and we can put in a lot of luggage. 

I am tall person (approx. 6 ft) and the height of the vehicle is really nice & comfortable for me. Driving for long hours is no pain at all.

I drive a Petrol engine and I find the engine extremely responsive.  In city traffic its very comforable to wade through bad roads, traffic. Manouvering the car is easy which is remarkable for car of this weight (approx. 1200 kgs) & size.

I personally like the look and design of say Terrano (Duster's cousin) & Creta a little more. In comparison to these 2 Duster looks a little bland. However, the performance of the car is so good and steady that I have undoubtedly become a Duster fan.

Brilliant Suspension, Drive Comfort, Engine StrengthExternal Looks

I bought the duster AWD about 4 months ago, and I am really happy with its performance. It has a very effective suspension and you can feel the 4WD kicking in if you happen to take it off road, in hilly and wet terrains. It is spacious and comfortable and its rugged looks are an added advantage. It goes strong on highways and the engine will not disappoint. Handling wise it is much better than the older version and the interiors have been improved as well. They should bring more premium feel to the car in the next version. The ground clearance helps it a great deal to get off from tough, high spots and the suspension makes sure you don’t feel displaced while you drive. I took it to the north and it was a fun trip, and the hill assist is really convenient. Go for this car if you are adventurous. Worth every penny.

Its very nice car, no car compare for boot space and second row space and ground clearance. Its ideal for highted persons. I suggest one thing that every duster must be feeted an airbags compalsury because its a heavy car and every driver drive it high speed.

I bought this car coz i was bored with my hatch. The main problem with the hatchbacks is the suspension and with indian roads these get worse in some years. Also because of low ground clearance its difficult to ride in urban areas. So i decided to move to SUV. I took test drive of ecosport but it lacked in power punch and then its overall dimension is not impressive. Then i thought of Creta, it had an impressive torque and power but i dint liked the suspension system. I beleived this comfort driven suspension system will become a problem some years later. The price tag with creta is also a big question specially when you look at how the models are placed (1.6 S is not an option). So finally I moved to Duster . I liked the power, torque initial grudge for speed and the gear ratio. I also liked the suspension (independent).Boot Space is best in class. After 3 years the torque and suspension are still in very good shape which is what i was looking for and so Duster has met all of my expectations with 3 lacks less than Creta.
