Renault Duster Automatic CVT Petrol Review

[@muhammedijas3624]

Sir is it good to buy renault captur or duster because I am getting 2 lakh discount

[@Automowheels]

Good question! The Captur's interiors are more or less same as the Duster's. On the outside the cars diifer completely. Eventually, it boils down to two things- your choice of exteriors and your purpose. The Duster has proper SUV looks and has great presence on the road. The Captur too is big, but has an MPV design. The Captur's sales never took off and probably never will. In such a case, the resale value of the car and availability of spares will suffer. The discount on Captur may look lucrative, but in the long term it may not be a good decision. In short, it's better to go for the Duster. 😊

[@muhammedijas3624]

Automowheels but captur spare parts are identical to duster only body design is different and there is more features offered like start stop button 17 inch alloy wheels and better dashboard design

[@Automowheels]

That's true. But there could be other spares for the body and chassis, which may not be shared with the Duster. The parts may not be unavailable in the near future, but it could be a problem later. If the price difference after discount is huge and you are willing to take the risk, you can still go with the Captur.

[@muhammedijas3624]

Automowheels sorry price difference is 3 lakh discount for captur and how is the service cost and spare parts of renault vehicles you face any problems now what is your odo meter reading

[@Automowheels]

The car is not mine, but a friend's. Service cost is average, it is not high. He already had a major accident and since he had a zero dep insurance his entire expense was covered and the car returned in a reasonable time. Compared to companies like Maruti and Hyundai, spare prices are higher. Otherwise, his car has been used for 3000+ kms and has caused no problems at all. The Captur is also a nice car but the showroom folks were not interested so much in selling it to him. So he eventually bought the Duster.

[@sanjaysilver]

Thank you for the driving instructions in CVT engine. All this time was searching driving instructions for a Duster and you helped out.

[@Automowheels]

Happy to hear that!

Is the used duster CVT a good option in 2020?

[@dhruvdogra1491]

Nice review, youre a decent guy🙂

[@Automowheels]

Thanks a lot. 😊

Great video dear keep going like this 👍😊

Thanks for the appreciation 😊

[@ashok.vardhan.g]

Hi, Which year was the Duster that you reviewed? Does it have a spare tire inside the boot area , or under it?

[@amitmittal17]

We need to run a campaign to convince Renault India to launch the new generation Duster in India. Pl. see link www.dacia.co.uk/vehicles/duster.html Only an engine upgrade here in an outdated old generation Duster is not enough to win over Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta in Indian Market. Renault Duster is STILL THE BEST SUV which is SPACIOUS AND STURDY for proper off roading BUT new generation needs to be launched ASAP NOW AT THE SAME PRICE

[@gokulbondre1544]

Does it have Hill hold assist. Because it is first point we consider before buying CVT

[@Automowheels]

Yes, it does have.

[@princehisaria4362]

Do u know the Ex- showroom price of 2018 new duster in Bangalore which will be launching in 2019 ?

[@Automowheels]

Not yet. But expect it to be on the same lines as current pricing since localization of the Duster is above 90% now.

[@iamdurgeshk]

How's CVT performance as in pickup, mileage, service cost. I am planning to buy but man I am in so much confusion. Should I buy a feature rich car which is under-powered (like Venue DCT) but with more money or a Duster which is best in drivability but again it's outdated. Max budget is 13L on road. I want a true SUV experience, but people say that Duster is good only with AWD version and CVT is not good

[@Automowheels]

The CVT is available on the petrol variant so if you have driven it you'll realize that performance isnt really it's USP. The engine is really refined though and there is a prominent rubber band effect in the CVT. I would like to answer your true SUV question- if you are looking for a car that provides you the closest possible SUV experience- then do go for the Duster, its ride quality is amazing. However, if you are looking for quality interiors and features, even the newly launched 2019 Duster is no good compared to the competition. The Venue DCT is not all that underpowered, but dont expect SUV like credentials. I would very strongly urge you to wait for the Kia Seltos since your budget will get you one and will also give you all that you are looking for. 😊

[@iamdurgeshk]

​@@Automowheels On paper Kia price would be expensive (for my budget). 1.5 CVT would be somewhat around 14.5 L and DCT 1.4 Petrol would be around 17.5L. I want to restrict my set budget or else if I will start adding 1.5L more in-order to get a very good car then I would end up buying BMW X1. I had high hopes with Duster facelift 2019, but it disappointed me. Nothing visible changes apart from grills. Interior still sucks. Just can't ignore the good drive comfort of Duster and that's why still I am considering Duster even after 8 years of launch. And in this segment I don't have much options under Automatic and that too petrol(only Venue DCT and Duster CVT). Nexon and Ecosport might be good but I don't like their appearance.

[@Automowheels]

Nexon is a very capable car but has an AMT. Have you considered the XUV300? The engine packs in a lot of punch and it now comes with an AMT too.(Not sure if you're fine with an AMT). The XUV has great features too.

[@iamdurgeshk]

@@Automowheels an Suv with 180 mm ground clearance? no, thank you :D. I could consider but what's the point of buying a suv car if ground clearance itself can't do the justice which is deal breaker for me. It will be like holding back with driving even if you would be driving a suv. Also, I don't want diesel engine though. Anyways, I'm waiting for kia however I know it would be out of budget. In that case I would come back to Duster cvt. And that's why asked about mileage, service cost and maintenance and if its good car for long run or not.

[@Automowheels]

Sorry I missed the other parts Mileage is about 11 in the city and 15 on the highway. Renault service isn't steeply priced, so no worries on that front. My friend has had a couple of accidents and then visits to the service centre. 😊

[@dksharma1092]

How did the eco button affect the performance? Does it also regulate the ac effect???

[@Automowheels]

Hello! Performance does become slightly sluggish, but the AC performance does not worsen a lot; in fact you will not notice it much.

[@hashimjamalYT]

I recently sold my old swift and planning to buy a new Duster (Petrol) but curious to know when Renault is launching the new Duster global 2018 version here in India.

[@Automowheels]

It's definitely not launching this year. Expect it to launch in early 2019.

[@bollinisathish]

How about mileage in City and highway ?

[@Automowheels]

Thanks for watching! That's one point I forgot to mention in the video. City is 10kmpl whereas highway is 15kmpl.

[@vsm3331]

Sir what was the price of side claddings and also the rear parking camera which you fitted additionally, please answer

[@Automowheels]

Side claddings will cost ₹ 1500-2000. Rear parking camera setup (with the rear view mirror) will cost about ₹ 3000.

[@indianstig69]

@@Automowheels from where u got that ? Any specific brand? Available online?

[@Automowheels]

It's available as a Renault provided accessory in the showroom

Automowheels no they are unable to provide any Renault standard accessories......though where exactly u get the sensor output???is it on the looking glass it self...???

Whether RXS CVT of Duster has side view mirror electrically foldable.

[@Automowheels]

Side view mirror is not electrically foldable

[@kcd80]

@@Automowheels can it be fitted after market

[@Automowheels]

In my opinion, it should be possible as a Renault genuine accessory since the feature is available on the RxL variant.

[@vsm3331]

Did you fit the side body claddings or were they factory fitted

[@Automowheels]

Hi. The side cladding is an added genuine accessory for extra cost and can be fiited at Renault showrooms.

[@rajibbhuyan4121]

Do u know when is the 2018 model gonna launch??early 2019 or end?

[@Automowheels]

Certainly in 2019. But not sure about which quarter. We'll keep you posted!

[@SuperBibhuti123]

Petrol RXS CVT Vs Ecosport Trend Plus AT Vs Breeza ZDI AMT Vs Tata Nexon XZA Plus petrol? Which one should I go for? Pls guide.. all price are almost same

[@Automowheels]

Would be unfair to comment without driving any of these. Would definitely recommend a test drive of all before deciding on one. But do remember that besides the Duster, all others are 4m SUVs, hence they are not as spacious. Also, out of all 4, the Duster is definitely the most rugged and SUV like.

[@ripugoswami8231]

How are the gear ratios?

[@Automowheels]

Thanks for watching! If you mean for the gear steps, the ratios seem well-spaced and are more towards the tall side.

[@vinayaksrivastava]

Should we Buy this one or Wait for New Duster 2018...

[@Automowheels]

Thanks for watching! The new Duster is not scheduled to come before 2019 according to various sources. If you can, it's wise to wait for the new model. But if you need a car this year, this is still a really great buy at this price!

[@vinayaksrivastava]

Thank you... I will wait

[@ritheshkm]

what will the mileage of petrol CVT ?

[@Automowheels]

It's approximately 9-10 kmpl in the city. Around 15-16 on thr highway.

[@ritheshkm]

Automowheels I’m planning to buy a suv petrol automatic, is there any good cars other than duster? Its on road price is 12.60 im little confuse about the mileage or this is the mileage (10-11) we can expect in the petrol automatic cars?

[@Automowheels]

There are others as well but in your budget this is the best you can get. Otherwise, you will have to opt for sub-4m SUVs like Brezza, XUV500, Venue, etc. These cars have slightly better mileage but not a lot.

would you recommend to buy Duster Petrol?

The petrol engine is very refined and has good enough punch. The performance is not thrilling, but is good for in-city driving.

[@ansh9225]

@@Automowheels is there any other car that you can recommend in the same range that could be better. my monthly running would be around 500 KM on an average

[@Automowheels]

You could look at the EcoSport too if you want a more premium looking cars and modern features. However, space is nowhere as lenient as the Duster's.

[@Iamsaved2000]

Hi, we would like to buy a SUV. I liked the appearance of captur and went to the show room. They advised to go for duster. What is your suggestion now we are in a confusion stage. Please advise honestly.

[@Automowheels]

Hi. From the looks if it, the Captur is going to be discontinued soon. Ever since launch, Renault has not stopped giving discounts on the Captur. The plus point is you get a car better than the Duster for a good price. Negative is low resale value and probably not-so-good after sales service. My recommendation would be wait a few months and go with the new Duster which is coming up.

[@iamdurgeshk]

@@Automowheels Only the facelift version is coming up this Diwali which has no change in interiors and exterior will get DRLs and parking sensors. The next-gen Duster(which was showcased in Auto-Expo under Dacia) is likely to be launched in Mid-2020.

I own duster CVT. Your review is poor and you fail to explain the pros and cons of the engine. Come on, you even don't know how to use manual mode. It is advised to know things before reviewing. Sorry if I am harsh, but this video is not useful.

[@Automowheels]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure why you feel I don't understand how to use the manual mode- maybe it didn't come across in the video well. For the benefit of others, could you please explain the pros and cons of the engine since you're in a better position to answer that as an owner?

[@Vsangana]

@@Automowheels You shouldn't be pressing the button on the gear rod for switching to manual. Also even to switch between speeds. Hence that sound is coming, else its so smooth.

@chitrasthala - Since you are owning it - you should have at least summed it up so that it would have helped others. (I don't own it and just did a test drive - so many not be the right person)
