Exterior Cool, Hefty, rugged over all its awesome.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent cabin space, all the necessary features loaded except push button start, comfort wise its good for city and very good on highways.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine with 110 bhp I felt little less for a heavy vehicle like duster but it pulls strongly even after you reach 100 km mark on your speedometer.
I know most of the people will be waiting for knowing the mileage
I got a high way mileage of 17.9kmpl maximum and 16.5 kmpl minimum (speed between 100 - 120)
In city ride the mileage is in between 13 - 15 kmpl depending on the traffic. for your knowledge I belong to coimbatore.
AMT Gear Box, really we have to learn to drive an AMT. with slight accelaration the vehicle shifts gears to 4th, when it reaches 40km then at 90 km it shifts to 6th gear. It is bit slow than manual but its very comfortable in city and also in highways. over taking has to be planned as it takes a moment to understand our urgency in speeding.
Sudden Accelaration in 1st gear wont workout...otherwise its very smooth and downshifts the gear when ever necessary. Manual attached with AMT is very interesting and slick.
Ride Quality & Handling 120 kms on curvy Highway road no problem at all. Handling is good and has got very good control. A very well planted drive even at high speed. Breaking is not up to the mark. we have to apply little bit hard to stop the vehicle. But we get used to it with in two days. suspension is very good even in rough roads. On highways no jerk at all.
Final Words Good vehicle at a decent price, good mileage, AC is good, My family loves to travel in this vehicle.
Areas of improvement
1. Wind noise has to be controlled.
2. Disc break has to be provided for all four wheels.
3. Dash board design can be updated.
4. Front door rubber beading stores dust and when you open the door it falls on you while getting out of the vehicle, that has to be taken care.
5. Driver side power window button control unit hurts the knees. it has to be finished smoothly.
6. Storage area can be improved.
Design, Rugged, Go anywhere kind of ground clearance, mileage, AC etc etc etcFew things...explained in the detailed review
