Renault Duster [2015-2016] User Reviews

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.

car is good but compared to its compertitors its interior is not gud and in other means it is gud and coming to its comfort it is not such gud but it have a presence in road and my cayene orange colour is super i luv it

This car is a different identity in itself. It changes the style of every person looking at it.feel proud The identity of good people is this car. I like this car. The modal and look of this car itself is a different identity

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.

Exterior

 Very good, looks like a beast, has the qualities of suv but I would not call it an SUV but true compact SUV. has a rigid and tough body (better than Hyundai).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Space and comforts are good however, not very good with interiors but still worth the cost. ample leg room for a six foot man. good seat position but cabin looks bland. Powerfull AC and also good driver information from the trip meter. however just one button for many options.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Noise and Vibration are comparetively on the higher side but can be considered, engine does an amzing work in terms of power and milage is of about 13 in city (Bangaluru traffic) and about 19 in the highway under moderate driving. Gear box is lilttle hard. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Amazing driving experince, no blind spots my wife feels comfortable drving this than I20 (my previous car). road view is very good, no much body roll, stability on road is good, overall a very nice experience when it comes to driving.

Final Words

 As said a true compact SUV worth the money and definitly beats the compitators overall, however misses few latest technology like auto AC, one touch electonic windows and a arm rest.

Areas of improvement  

 Quality of interior.

ABS and EBD to be as standard across all varients.

smooth gear box.

 

 

Worth for the money (After the discount ), ground clearece, maneuverability, external looks,Interiors could have been made better

Very affordable, value for money and fuel efficient SUV. It is in the reach of middle class who wants to upgrade in SUV category. It is good for rough roads due to wheel size and good ground clearance.

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.

4WD, ABS, EBD, dual toned interiors, big boot space, comfortable cabin, easy clutch and good handlinnone

I bought duster AWD right after it was launched. I just loved how it worked in extreme conditions and I was really thrilled to see how many changes were made in it interior wise. The test drive was amazing and it helped me realize that this car was just the one I was looking for. The space is ample, leg room, head room and boot space are very comfortable for long journeys. The two suspension system is quickly noticable when you drive off road and the AWD makes it a whole new experience. The traction control and the 4WD make a big difference when driving on moist roads or on the beach. The eco mode does get the most out of the engine and I love how fast its pickup is. It is the best SUV in the category and I am so happy I bought it. This is what an SUV must feel like and those looking for a car exclusively for the purpose of being able to drive it anywhere and everywhere should definitely check this car out.
