Renault has launched the Duster recently and many customers would have expected something unique this time because this is the third generation facelift and they have made some design changes inside and out but they have remained to showcase that they have launched a facelift and the car looks good and it is a change of design in some aspects at the front and preferably rear because with that thick black piece running in between the rear stop lamps it does look sporty.
Ok! Let us discuss the changes that could bring more customers towards Duster are:
Ok! Let us discuss the changes that could bring more customers towards Duster are:
Engines: Engines are punchy regarding the price range it is in and it has no complaints except some major things like NVH levels, an automatic gearbox and not AMT which one might feel they are offering because AMT is different from the auto gearbox. They have the chance to increase the price because they are offering more and can make customers understand that. One more thing is the features that are offered in AMT are not there in the RXZ AWD variant which is the top end manual variant and also costs the same as the AMT but fails to bring more features like the AMT.
Interiors and Exteriors: The cabin of Duster does feel spacious but it lacks the upmarket or the futuristic appeal which other rivals offer with more ease and when an SUV like Duster is going to be released there will be some expectations and to fulfill them I must say Renault has failed a bit. Duster can bring sales I am not denying it but definitely not like the other SUV's in this price range while looking at the sales of other rivals in this segment.
The sunroof has become common in many cars and SUV's because sunroofs actually create an airy feel and of course, Duster is spacious with the leather seats but this one could bring more in my opinion. The other things I would like to discuss is about the infotainment system, this is also one more reason and I obey that now it offers android and apple car play but it doesn't look futuristic or upmarket when you look at it competition-wise and Renault should step the game up else they will fall back in sales. Not only that but the steering is literally feels blank and with those controls down the steering will feel like odd placement and very little no of buttons also not looking good and appealing as well so things like steering mounted controls, sunroof, different styled door handles, LED headlamps and also an auto gearbox, responsive infotainment system and push start button and all are required in the changes block but don't know when Renault would bring changes like these and bring it in an all new avatar. We just have to wait for it to be like this and this happens only if they realise these kind of requirements are needed for the customers as well. Please comment down your views on this post.

Nice post. As for Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster is also the better choice for low budget.
ReplyDeleteyeah! good choice only but you need to compromise on so many good features and there are so many things in it which needs updation.
