I trust, love, like, chose and fell reno. Renault duster is not car it's personal happiness..... I love Renault Duster...... thanks for reno teem"
"The All-New Renault Duster is Finally Here: Guys, the New Renault Duster has finally launched in India and from the launch event pics, specs, and everything they showed, I’m already pretty hyped! It’s clearly bigger, sharper, loaded with a proper big touchscreen, comfy seats, and those new engines that promise way better mileage than the old one. I haven’t got behind the wheel yet (still waiting for my test drive slot), but it looks like Renault finally fixed everything we complained about while keeping that same rugged, no-nonsense soul we loved. If you’re hunting for a proper SUV under 15 lakhs that can handle Indian roads, this one might actually deliver."
"Decent Overall Car: Duster will find it a little tough to compete in the already busy segment and with the 2 new competitors in the Sierra and Seltos just being launched it has its task cut out. The car looks good, seems a bit smaller in terms of dimensions compared to the other 2, perfomance and mileage should be good."
"Comfortable And Powerful SUV: Best car of the session, powerful, stylish and reliable car. Duster is always best for long drive. Most value for money car, Affordable family car. Best driving experience, no noise, no vibration smooth driving. Renault duster is going to be the best car of the session 2026. Over all best features in this segment."
"Best Car In This Segment: Comfortable and value for money come with safety rating and pickup is go good. When you press acceleration car instant pick up capture the best speed instantly around 20-25 km/l depending on driving 185mm high ground clearance but on highways you feel like low or unpowered engine handling is not good on highways."
