I was waiting this Duster from few month back and thinking that if price of duster would be less than 10 lakh of top model then certainly it will lead the SUV and also break the record of Mahindra 5oo selling but did not happen as such. If you compare the base model of Mahindra 5oo and top model of Renault Duster ,You find the Mahindra 5OO is for better in looks, features, performence , space, and etc. Mahindra is 7 seater more spacious and silent engine very smooth driving as I drove it few kilometer of my friend`s car. I monitored that the response of booking after declare of price is decresed from earlier. I also disappointed after seeing the price tag. Now a days security

Disappointed ! Renault should have atleast offered one 4x4 varient in petrol/diesel for the hard core offroader.Waiting for 7 seater 4th gen safari storm with efficient 4x4 would be better option.
