Renault Duster Review
The Renault Duster has made an impressive entry into the Indian passenger car market with the Fluence and recently with the Koleos premium SUV. However, as expected, the company has now confirmed that they will eventually be making the Duster SUV at the Chennai plant and launch in in mid of 2012. The SUV is a tough and reliable off-roader and is also one of the cheapest full grown SUVs to be sold in the world. India will get the latest and the updated version that is sold under the Dacia brand name in key international markets.
The Renault Duster is a funky looking SUV and one of the cheapest in the world. The Duster is not a soft-roader; it manages to hold its own off-road quite well. The 210mm of ground clearance and chunky 215/65 R16 tyres complete the SUV image.
The Renault Duster is offered with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. The 4x4 variants make use of Nissan's all-wheel drive system which allows the driver to choose from three different driving modes: Auto, in which the front/rear torque split is calculated automatically as a function of available grip; Lock, whereby 50 per cent of torque is consistently fed through the rear axle, and 4x2 where the transmission is locked into two-wheel drive for maximum fuel efficiency.
The Duster has found a niche and promises to deliver on all it is promising. Will it succeed in making Renault a renowned brand like the Scorpio managed to do for Mahindra?
The Renault Duster will be available with a 1.6-litre, 105PS petrol or the familiar 1.5-litre turbocharged common-rail diesel that will offer either 85 or 110PS. Size-wise, the Duster is a little smaller than the Mahindra Scorpio and will seat five in comfort.
