With regards to constant feedback from Indian audiences, Renault has finally made alterations to its new avatar with the introduction of a new All Wheel Drive driving mode and a tuned Diesel unit that promises to deliver better power along with efficiency. Built on a monocoque chassis, the compact SUV is offered with both petrol and diesel engines. The sole petrol unit is powered by a 1.6 litre K4M engine which manages to deliver 104 PS of peak power at 5750 rpm along with a maximum torque figure of 148 Nm at 3750 rpm. This variant comes only with a 2WD (2 Wheel Drive) option that sends power to the front wheels and is further mated to a standard 5 speed manual gearbox. The petrol variant offers good throttle response but due to its low torque, one surely finds a dearth of power especially when revving the engine. The real buyers choice are its diesel engines which are both powered by a same 1.5 litre dci configuration but they are tuned to deliver different power output. The smaller diesel unit manages to clock 85 PS of power at 3750 rpm along with an impressive 200 Nm of torque starting at 1750 rpm. This again is a 2WD setup and is mated to 5 speed manual transmission. The real performer of the lot is the similar capacity (1.5 litre) tuned diesel unit which can catapult this SUV with 110 horses under its hood raging to be unleashed at 4000 rpm along with an outstanding torque of 245 Nm available at 1750 rpm. This tuned engine gets an AWD (All Wheel Drive) configuration which means torque is transferred to all the wheels of the SUV. One gets a rotary drive mode select dial on the centre console which allows easy shifts between 2WD and AWD on the go along with an Auto mode as well. The tuned diesel unit is well catered to a 6 speed manual transmission and we will soon witness an automatic variant on the cards from Renault. The powerful Diesel unit also gets an additional anti roll bar onto the suspensions whereas the other models get standard Mc pherson struts on the front and trailing arm with coil springs on the rear. With the introduction of anti roll bars, the ride of this compact SUV has become more planted and stiffer which is a blessing for off-road usage. On the city as well, Duster doesn’t disappoint at all. To further increase its efficiency figures, Renault also provides an ECO mode button which reduces overall performance to enhance fuel efficiency on the go.
