Renault Duster RXL 110 ps Dt of purchase 16.11.2013

Exterior Excellent looks from front,side and specially from the rear. Wheel size and arch are the centre of attraction.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Five months of driving covering 18000 kms, the defogger light is not working and there is irritating noise from rear wheels which is yet to be rectified by the service centre at Guwahati inspite of two visits for the same.Space in the rear is best for two normal sized person, another thin person can be accomodated.I would prefer 4 persons for long drives.Driving and comfort is excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth however it requires some time to heatup to a normal range in Tawang in Arunachal |Pradesh a high altitude town with very low temperature. Gears needs some refinement.

Ride Quality & Handling Riding quality is top grade. Handling and driving on up and downhill roads of North East region of India is excellent.

Final Words Inspite of all this no regrets, but during my drive to Sangetsar lake situated in the Chinese border in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh,the need for a 4wd was evident.

Areas of improvement Gear box, door noise and electrical switches need to be looked into.

Macho looks, excellent ground clearance and comfort even on rough roadsHead light and upper and lower dipper should not be the same switch
