Renault Duster [2016-2019] User Reviews

Riding experience was exclent having best suspension mileage is superb I got 17.325 km/liter. Looks and performance was great but servicing and maintenance cost is very high .it increases in multiple after warranty.my suggestion-1.service and maintenance cost should be reduced. 2.warranty period should be equal to Hyundai Cr eta and toyta vehicle. Than Duster would be no1.

1- bought it when the market was booming with dusters in 2014 for 13.5 lacs for RXL DCI 85PS. Not upto the mark 2- the car tries to perform better but can't . Can't feel the kick in pants when you try to red line it 3- looks like some outdated french car sent to india thar made sense then 4- low maintenance 5- pros - spacious boot and enough leg space . Cons - many to mention

Buying experience: Was Ok. Every company give good buyexperience since they want to sell...In this case They just dumped a faulty new car.
Riding experience: Its just Ok sort of not impressive. Interior plastic is below average. Car will give frequent repair issues. In my case my break got fails after 3 years.
Details about looks, performance etc: Highy Non performance car...NEVER BUY RENAULT VEHICLE. Engine parts need costly replacements...you wont have any other option. Just replaced suspension and fuel pump with related parts. They will say that we might have used contaminated fuel...Means really??? Just paid 80K in this service vehicla ran just 46,000 KM.
Servicing and maintenance: Really very high...frequent breakdowns
Pros and Cons: Pros - They will be after you like anything to sell car...Never Buy. Cons - Very Bad Performance and costly repairs...else drive faulty car

Look and body is muscular. Very nice pricing. Auto gear AMT performance is not good. Pickup took lots of time to think and then takes late action. Only in 30000kms clutch plates are damaged due to that you can't drive it on hill stations.

Fantastic drive experience, enough space for sitting, pickup, mileage of the car is superb. For long drive imaging experience to drive this suv, infotainment system, leg space, boot space, ground clearance everything is perfectly fine.

This is one of the most valuable car with less price and muscular looks by it's body . The most amazing of this car is that it has high mileage than others suvs and also in cheap.

Dont look at Exterior and fall into ditch.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox (Worst design of conne connectivity between Airfilter to Engine) Which gets disconnected just after a long drive. Reno will not give solution but they talk more. Dont landup in problems after buying Reno products. I have almost visited more than 15 to 18 times to Reno Service center to get this issue fixed. But still they have a solution.

Ride Quality & Handling U mean to say handling Secvice center is a problem for you.

Final Words Dont go for this vehicle.

Areas of improvement Engine design and provide solution to customer when they have an issue with your car.

I am not happy with Reno serviceEngine design is bad

It has ben almost a year now (some 8000 Kms) since I bought my Duster CVT in Bangalore and have drove to some places like Hyderabad, Mahabalipuram, Nandi Hills, Beemeshwari etc in a short span from Bangalore.

Exterior Great Look, masculine and head turner.  One of the best in the market (across many segments). The new black thick roof rail adds to the look. However, the drawbacks on this are also quite a few. An electric sun roof is badly missed and the absence of chrome rail in between two head lamps is really felt which is available in other variants of Duster. Although there are a few accesories wich can be added to further up the look like- Ranault logo tail lamp, exhaust pipe chrome finish etc.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nothing excellet on this front. I would rather term the interior as Pathetic and very basic. Many hatchbacks comes with far better interiors :( . Unfortunately, could not even find any good accesoreis to ramp up the interior look except for blue coloured door lights. The dashboard is pretty ordinary. Display screen is also very basic and without navigation. The gear handle look is also feels like from ancient models. However, the space and confort is awesome. You will not feel the tireness even after miles of driving.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great driveing experience between speed of 55 Kmph and 110 kmph. anything outside this range is a problem. Extremely slow pick up, specially in the first gear (equivalent in CVT), feels like pulling very heavy. The rubber band effect can be easily felt during gear shifts (specially around 45-55 kmph speed). However all this can be overcome to a large extent by pressing the accelerator harder and fuller (but may strain your legs on the long run) or shiifting to manual. Fuel economy is decent -gives around 9-10 kmpl in city (Bangalore) and around 13 on highways (with AC). AC performance is poor.

Ride Quality & Handling All thumbs up to this segment. The ride quality and handling is just great and that is where Duster scores well. However, bad AC is a set back specially with such big interior space.

Final Words Overall, value for money. Easy to drive and extremly comfortable. May be termed as best at this price range.

Areas of improvement Imrovement in AC and Interiors are much needed. May come up with some accessories to boost up the interior look (like something for better dashboard, wooden like cover for central part of dashboard around the screen and central AC vent, software upgrade for the screen to include navigation, some space managers or sometinng similar to boost the look for area from around the gear handle and hand brake etc).

Great Exterior, Hill drive Assist, Ample Boot SpacePick-up, Pathetic AC, Bearable Audio system, No navigation, Bad Interiors

It was one of the best choice i have ever made. I bought it 3.5 years ago and it has done 1,25,000 kms Since. I have never has a problem from the beginning. I have to say that it is a gem of a car. But there a little bit of things that have to be improved. Like the rattling sounds from the doors, The position of the music system. The drive experience is absolutely fine
