Why Renault Duster was a success in India

The Renault Duster has created an overwhelming buzz in the Indian car market, which was never seen in recent times. Ever since it was launched in July 2012, the Renault Duster has won the hearts of all Indian car enthusiasts, in spite of being a European car predominantly. Renault needed something that could offer a super turbo boost to its sales figures in the Indian market. Renault Duster helped to catapult the fortunes of Renault in India. The Duster was so successful that Renault had to triple its production within months of the car launch.

Renault Duster After the debacle of the Logan, the Duster is actually Renault’s first ‘real offering’ to the Indian market, as expert reviews say. For Renault Duster overview, it can be said that the 2012 model has been given a cosmetic makeover by the French car makers along with some added technical features to deliver high class performance, and Renault has launched the 2014 Duster.

The new Duster has been given 'Anthracite' alloy wheels and darkened head lamp clusters which look magnificent. It has also been redesigned with a spaced out chrome grille. The Duster also gets new and upgraded LED tail lamps that light up like ‘S’ at night providing a signature style. The interior seat comfort and cabin retains the same look with the additional use of new fabric in brown shades to make the seats look and feel comfortable. The console at the centre is finished off in piano black tones, and the AC controls have been restyled intelligently with touch screen. Ample space inside the car along with a whopping boot capacity of 410 litres makes for a comfortable ride.

The Renault Duster with manual transmission is available across its five variants available in both petrol as well as diesel. The 2014 Renault Duster comes with a 1.6-litre petrol motor delivering power of 102bhp. Additionally, the diesel version comes in two types 83bhp and 108bhp. The biggest change in the new Renault Duster is the AMT version. The 108bhp comes with an optional six speed AMT along with a standard six speed manual transmission system, while the 83bhp gets a five speed manual transmission system. Duster claims to offer fuel efficiency of 13.06 kmpl for the petrol, 19.87 kmpl for the 83 bhp and 19.6 kmpl for the 108 bhp
diesel engines – in both manual and AMT variants.

On road price of Renault Duster shows figures that starts from 9.37 lakh and shoots up to 15.63 lakh in Delhi.

 Athough, the new Renault Duster is more expensive than the older one, this compact SUV has always been a great car to drive both in the city and off the road for its sheer technical excellence. Apart from the mechanical alterations, the commendable step that Renault has taken to make the Duster a complete SUV is the integration of the AMT which will certainly make the success of Duster in India very crucial.
