Exclusive: Renault Duster Facelift AMT Review

It is evident that Renault has gone back to the drawing board a few times to ensure what we get is a well-engineered product that is also reasonably smooth and responsive.
The ZF-sourced AMT system has been tweaked to provide the maximum smoothness.
The Duster gets a new front grille and very edgy headlamps being the most significant changes.
The central console is now finished in piano black with a more solid premium feel.
Cabin space and seat comfort are exactly as before good!

I am a duster awd owner ... Unsatisfied!!
Why :
1. High service costs
2. Inherent problem with diesel engine injectors, which has a tendency for failure after 30k kms ...
3. Faulty rear shock absorber ... Which have just an average life span of 30to 40k kms ... And high replacement costs
4. After sales services ... Dealers changing anything on their own will
5. And above all renault knows all about this ...has been highlighted on various platforms ... Teambhp.com . what is renault doing about this ? And guess what they dont even cover their shockers in extended warranty .
My opinion ... Duster old vehicle ... Renault just doing facelifts to face the competition ...whereas it should be focussing on making its products durable to retain customers.

I bought my Duster (RXL 85 ps) in Dec 2013, done 47000 km. One of the best, most comfortable car, driven by me. I went to Hyderabad from Pune more than 3 times. Since my first tank fill-up, the worst average is 22.8 and median average is 26.3. I have always got above 24.7 for the last 40000 km. The service center guys took picture of my mileage! I don't drive wildly. I am a passive driver, never race but just enjoy the comfort of the ride. Nothing beats this car in terms of ride comfort. May be 35 lakh plus Audi and Benz/BMW may be it but I have not paid that price. Just yesterday, I sat in my friend's Alto and I was wondering did I sit in this small car for 9 years! (I owned a Maruti 800 for 9 years, Fiat Palio for 7 years). I think this review will sum-up in just one sentence. If I were to buy another car, I will not have any hesitation to walk back to the same Renault showroom. This means I do not have anything else in mind!
