Pros Cons of Renault Duster

Pros

  • Modern buyers will find a practical list of safety and comfort features. 
  • The highway stability and overall ride quality are excellent. 
  • Supportive seats with ventilation make long drives comfortable.  
  • Both turbo-petrol engines offer strong performance and good drivability. 
  • Engaging steering and driving position boosts driving experience. 

Cons

  • The 1.3-litre turbo returns a real-world city mileage of about 9kmpl. 
  • Both engines display some turbo lag during slow-speed driving. 
  • Centre console intrudes into left knee space, more so for taller users. 
  • The three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine emits more NVH and has no automatic option. 
  • Average rear-view camera quality and the DCT gearbox feels jerky sometimes.

Verdict

The Renault Duster still has the genes of the original, which it such a success in India. Sure, it does not try to attract buyers with flashy functions or an endless feature list. What it does is focus on delivering a comfortable ride, superb stability, strong turbo-petrol performance and that true SUV driving experience. 

Bilal Firfiray stated in his review: 

"It’s engaging enough to make enthusiastic drivers smile, yet comfortable enough to keep families happy." 

If your priority is a well-rounded SUV that can go over poor roads, cruise comfortably on highways, and still offer an enjoyable driving experience, the Duster ranks quite high in its segment. Just be aware that not the automatic gearbox is not an option on all powertrains and variants, unlike some rivals.
