New duster is big Dad..

I am a Renault lover I already have 8 years old kwid & a 9-year-old Duster Renault is my family member, big bro duster and small bro kwid ... 9 years go but not possible without Renault brand, anything any other company..... I trust, love, like, chose and fell reno. Renault duster is not car it's personal happiness..... I love Renault Duster...... thanks for reno teem

Detailed review after a year.

Great buying experience in Delhi. The car is driver-friendly with plenty of features even in the base model. Best fuel efficiency (15-16 km/l) achieved by driving at 80-90 km/h with 2000-2400 RPM. Value for money, but service centers in tier-3 cities need improvement. Driven 8000 km, detailed review after a year.
