Re: Renault Duster Road Test Drive Review

Guys strange too see the Dusters forum almost dead after the release of Ecosoprt but the Duster has some real mettle, I ts got the attention of the world and its gaining popularity like HTC(Quitely Brilliant), the Duster is super comfy, a Skoda Yeti owner who took Yeti 1 week before the release of Duster was my met by me and my friend and the Yeti guy surprisingly was not happy with Yeti, He claims Duster is more comfy than Yeti in rough roads and handling of Yeti is on par with Duster and except for some sturdy plastics the Yeti seemed too much costly for him(19.6 lakh on the road Kochin) and Duster more comfy than Yeti?thats something I heard from a Yeti owner, unbelievable
Fine job renalult Fine job 100/100 for this kind of ride quality(wonderwhat car is there to beat Dusters ride quality) I checked duster vs yeti and this is what i found

Re: Renault Duster Road Test Drive Review

Went to Renault OMR yesterday to TD Duster 85 PS RXZ with option pack just to compare how it stands up against Ecosport.

The SA told that this month the insurance is free and with Insurance free the OTR price of 85 PS RXZ with option pack now comes at 12.99L i.e 13L.

Re: Renault Duster Road Test Drive Review

Renault India has initiated a club named “Gang of Dusters”. Its members (who have to be Duster owners) can participate in the official expeditions for a fee. More in this link.
1. What is Renault's Gang of Dusters all about? And what exactly is the West Coast Expedition?

Initiated and managed by Renault, the Gang of Dusters is the official fan club for Duster owners in India. Think challenging cross country trips, exciting impromptu rallies, exhaustive servicing sessions and fun networking meets, we have it all. The West Coast Expedition is the first ever trip of the Renault's Gang of Dusters as a community. It is a 5-day drive starting from Mumbai on 15th August, 2013 and moving through Panhala, Dandeli, Goa, and Kolad before culminating at Mumbai on 19th August, 2013.

2. Can we hire vehicles from Renault India for participating in the West Coast Expedition?

No. All the selected participants need to have their own Dusters serviced and ready for the trip.

3. If I am not a Duster owner, can I participate in the expedition?

No. You will need to have a Duster to be eligible for this thrilling drive.

4. What is the schedule of the West Coast Expedition?

The trip starts from and ends back at Mumbai, covering the entire Konkan stretch with stops at Panhala, Dandeli, Goa and Kolad. For more details, visit our Schedule section.

5. How much is the registration fee?

The charges for Indian Nationals for participating in the expedition are Rs. 35,000/- for two people exclusive of taxes. An additional participant will be charged Rs. 8,000/- and will have to stay in the same accommodation / room.

6. How can I register for the event?

You need to be a part of Renault's Gang of Dusters to be a part of this trip. Register for Renault's Gang of Dusters from Join the Gang section. Once you have registered, you can be a part of the expedition by paying the applicable charges in full and completing the related documentation, as specified in the registration form. Registrations will close once 20 vehicles / 40 participants have been registered. The selected participants will get a confirmation call and an e-mail.

7. What are the payment options?

You have an option of paying through a demand draft, cheque or direct bank transfer. The cheque / demand draft should be in favour of Cougar Motorsport Private Limited. Bank transfer should be in favour of Cougar Motorsport Private Limited, current a/c no. 00090210001400, IFSC Code - UCBA 0000009, MICR Code - 110028004 with UCO Bank, H-46 Connaught Place, New Delhi 110001.

8. Can I make the payment at the nearest dealer outlet?

No. The only modes of payment are the ones mentioned above.

9. Can I make a payment on the day of the event?

No. Since your registration is considered complete only after the payment is received, we would request you to make the payment as soon as possible.
10. In the event of a cancellation, am I entitled to any refund? Would there be any deductions?

The charges paid will be refunded on cancellation of the registration by the participant or cancellation of the expedition by the organisers. In case of a cancellation by the participant, the refund would be reduced by any amounts that we are unable to recover from the hoteliers/contractors. The charges will NOT be refunded for ANY OTHER reason.

11. When is the last date for registration?

The last day for registration is 9th August, 2013.

12. When is the next event? Are you conducting events in my region?
For a list of upcoming events, refer to Other Expeditions on the site.

Renault Duster RxZ Plus introduced

Renault India has added another variant to its popular Duster SUV lineup called the RxZ Plus.

This variant comes with all features available on the top-end RxZ variant but does away with the rear air-con unit.

According to some dealers, this variant was introduced after taking feedback from customers as there was not much space left for the second row middle passenger due to the rear air-con unit taking up most of it.

Renault has priced the Duster RxZ Plus diesel at Rs 12.13 lakh (ex-showroom,Delhi) which is Rs 5,000 less than the Duster RxZ Option Pack trim (Rs 12.18 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi) that comes with leather seats and satellite navigation system as well.

Re: Renault Duster Road Test Drive Review

Logan/Verito use Mahindra Maximile (Rs. 9xx for 4.1 litres). But do remember that when the same engine block is made to produce almost 67% more power, it is bound to bear more stress.

However, my friend did inform me that the service centre had given him an option of replacing the engine oil with mineral oil too, but he went ahead with synthetic anyways. Indeed, his last oil change was done with mineral oil.

Shall try to eke out the last service bill and post it here.

Re: Renault Duster Road Test Drive Review

I have booked a Renault Duster 85 PS (O) after cancelling my Ford Ecosport booking. Going to get delivery by end of next week.
Congrats on your booking Neelkanth. What color have you chosen and when is the delivery expected? As there are a few offers going on the Duster these days, would love to hear what offer did you get on the variant you booked?

Thanks man. [:)] I am going to get delivery on 28th October if all goes well with SBI loan processing. I have chosen White colour and they have ready stock of the car.

I got 60k in exchange bonus and 10k cash discount. After these discounts the OTR came to 12.68L for 85 PS RXL(O) in Chennai [cry]
