First glance at the Renault Duster is enough to make you realize that it is the ideal urban SUV for India he French car maker Renault has clearly dimensioned the Duster with much larger dimensions than its competitors that are priced similar or a segment or two higher. The design language on the Renault Duster’s outside is simple. The front face of the Duster appears aggressive with the three vertical chrome strips that form its

T

face. The headlights have a neat combination reflector design that is shaped in the flow of the front grille. The dual tone bumpers also enhance the sporty and off-road looks and ability of the Renault Duster. Its unique design allows it to adapt naturally to any kind of terrain. While its unmatched fuel efficiency lets you drive deeper into the wilderness, its state-of-theart safety features keep all worries

at bay. Packed with a host of smart features, it helps you get through everyday life in a breeze.

Drive The vehicle comes powered with a choice of three engine options. The gear ratios are short and spread out with the max torque and power felt in the third shift.

The power and pick up is gradual and not instant as on other

CRDI engine units. The Duster is a hard handler with the steering tuned on the stiffer side so that the driver remains connected and in command at all times. The Renault Dusters 6-speed gearbox has precise shifts.

The shifting is not as soft as the Japanese cars but is just perfect to suit the Mini-SUV. The ride quality

is also superb with the Dusters independent McPherson Strut with coil springs & anti-roll bar in the front and Torsion beam axle with coil springs & anti-roll bar at the rear doing a commendable job to give a very refined and comfortable ride quality.
