~ My Duster drove up the UK Hardknott Pass, Cumbria, with 5 heavy people on board, the same day, unbeknown to us, when 2,500 cyclists decided to go up that same very narrow 3:1 pass .. Hair raising, but the Duster managed without problem. I love this little SUV .. :-)
Hi Amit. Thanks for adding Duster. Always wanted to see its performance in off roading. Ur videos are just amazing. Always like to watch them. Thanks!!!
Finally, the Duster. If SS-T or someone else pitches in, would be nice to see as to how much better is the older Scorpio in comparison to the older one in off-roading.
the Australian reviews for going off-road for the 2017 model are very impressive . the wheel articulation and approach and departure angles to are very good
+Rahul Pradeep Fortuner's India pricing is too high, the reason not many well informed enthusiasts are buying it and we are unable to get one to offroading.
These people are the calmest off road testing team... Enjoyed watching the Cars being tested. I think the Duster is the best considering its used market price
Paras Mahantan 1. All modern cars have front and rear differentials. 2. Center differential is found in cars which are permanent 4wd or can be enabled to behave like a permanent 4wd. Duster has a center differential which splits torque 50:50 when AWD system is LOCKED.
+Swadesh Deepak Offroad ability: Stock Scorpio vs Duster = Duster is better, Scorpio with MLD vs Duster = Scorpio is better. Overall Duster is a better car.
+Punit Nathani Rexton RX7 has bad AWD system, its as terrible as a 2wd. RX5 has proper 4x4 with low range. Only Rexton in our group is sold, I wouldnt recommend this car, too mediocre with poor service support.
+Raj Pathology 1. New and old XUV are mechanically same. 2. Depends on what your concept of offroading is, for purely offroading XUV or any monocoque is not a good choice.
It has Torque on demand, Automatically engaging AWD system(if set to Auto) but both front and rear differentials are open type. It does have traction control, which helps in some places not all.
Force Gurkha has both front and rear diff locks, diff locks apart, its a terrible vehicle to be sold in year 2018. Ford Endeavour gets selectable diff lock at rear axle, but it gets automatically disengaged based on data from sensors, and it can only be selected in a few modes.
How many of the 4x4 buyers are aware of proper usage and safety risks posed due to diff locks? No manufacturer wants to risk it here in India. True enthusiasts can always retrofit diff locks.
If I say Duster is good offroad, it is good by crossover standards, not by 4x4 SUV standards. As Rohit mentioned, it has no articulation to deal with ruts and open differentials will play spoilsport.
Yes Dacia Duster, sold as a premium car in India as Renault Duster with extra chrome and Beige interiors, essentially started off as world's cheapest SUV.
It should have been the same driver in all vehicles... badly judged and for the Vitara the free wheel has to be spun for traction control to Kick-in and that's when articulation problem is cut as power is not lost on the free wheel
Furthermore, these ramps are custom made for every car, I have attended many such manufacturer organised events. Vitara did not have even simple traction control/esp system in India, forget about Active Traction control.
After watching the complete video I felt that Duster is a highly capable vehicle with underrated reputation
Duster AWD
Duster has an advantage of light weight chassis and powerful engine.

Duster is best Compact 4WD car.
Climb with less afforts
Finally duster is here

Duster has done almost everything.
Hi Amit. Thanks for adding Duster. Always wanted to see its performance in off roading. Ur videos are just amazing. Always like to watch them. Thanks!!!
Finally!!
your videos have reached a quality where I don't even complete watching and hit the like button! 👌
duster always rock's

Finally, the Duster.
If SS-T or someone else pitches in, would be nice to see as to how much better is the older Scorpio in comparison to the older
one in off-roading.
+sheel priye Surely whenever we get an oppurtunity.
damn the duster is suprisingly good
anshuman..please get a drone...the footage will be mindblowing...
Super video.Daster Ist byutifel
the Australian reviews for going off-road for the 2017 model are very impressive . the wheel articulation and approach and departure angles to are very good
+Rahul Pradeep Fortuner's India pricing is too high, the reason not many well informed enthusiasts are buying it and we are unable to get one to offroading.
Duster AWD seems capable enough.
+ABU GEORGE THARIAN K Yes, its capable by crossover standards.
These people are the calmest off road testing team... Enjoyed watching the Cars being tested. I think the Duster is the best considering its used market price
duster vs thar
which is better for both off-road and long-drive through (NH)situations??
Duster is better all rounder
duster awd best
Had been following for long, finally subscribed after seeing a duster ;)
Excellent job fellows.
as im going through on comments here tht duster AWD has shorter gear ratios, wht will be its effects on highways? n wht is d top speed of duster AWD?
What to buy? Duster or Ford Ecosport? All d reviews in youtube seem to suggest Ecosport, so i m confused. plz suggest
Ecosport is one size smaller than Duster, for road usage pick either Creta or Ecosport, they are overall better packages.
You earned a sub . Gr8 job
Jinko SUV Ka meaning he nhi pata wo bechare breeza venue EcoSport Creta ko he SUV mankr khrid lete hai.
And 4wd are getting obsolete nowadays. Sad reality 😢
Is the grand vitara a good purchase in 2023 from the used market?
duster awd is a superb little car
+Raj Patil Yes its nice, but too expensive for what it offers.
Anshuman Bishnoi Totally agreed. Its much expensive. Rather i would buy a XUV 500 here.
Amit Jatt yes right
Raj Patil little?😂😂😂 lol
Hey... you forgot to introduce the 4X4 resting between the Isuzu and Suzuki :D
Duster😍
Grand vitara khaha se ayi
Thank u bro
Finally Duster AWD is here
I'm waiting for this car only since i subscribed
Ur channel
This is the new version of Dacia Duster :
ruclips.net/video/nJu1fVZ43Ws/видео.html
nice to see awd cars doing some climb.
love the duster.. weight is an enemy, some companys know this well.
Hi Anshuman is it worth buying GV in 2020 for mild off roading and spares into consideration?
If you are getting a well maintained 2.4 in a good price, go for it. Excellent car, not as offroad capable though.
awd duster is automatic or manual ?
+jhon clark Manual
thanks for reply bro :)
@Jhon Ckark : Renault Duster Automatic doesn't come with AWD /4x4.
hello Anshuman nice job brother..I have a facelifted duster awd and I want to whether it has differential in it or not...
+Paras Mahantan Did you mean differential lock? Or center differential?
Paras Mahantan
1. All modern cars have front and rear differentials.
2. Center differential is found in cars which are permanent 4wd or can be enabled to behave like a permanent 4wd.
Duster has a center differential which splits torque 50:50 when AWD system is LOCKED.
The system is similar to XUV's AWD system, just one 2wd mode is extra in Duster.
Had the duster in the video a Petrol or Diesel engine?
AWD come in diesel only
Is XUV 500 W10 AWD reliable for on road and off road use?
Duster may favourite
Those taillight from Duster? are they aftermarket?
They OE lights from factory.
Some markets have different options available..
hi anshuman... u r doing pretty interesting stuff. all the best and one question .. which one is better , Scorpio 4*4 or duster 4*4
+Swadesh Deepak Offroad ability: Stock Scorpio vs Duster = Duster is better, Scorpio with MLD vs Duster = Scorpio is better. Overall Duster is a better car.
thanks anshuman for responding my question. feeling happy.
Is Sangyong RX7 that bad for off roading that you guys have never tried it or just no one in your group has it??
+Punit Nathani Rexton RX7 has bad AWD system, its as terrible as a 2wd. RX5 has proper 4x4 with low range. Only Rexton in our group is sold, I wouldnt recommend this car, too mediocre with poor service support.
Sir I take new fortuner or endever please help me sir
can we have the new fortuner if possible ??
Duster AWD😍
i have an ecosport thats why i am asking
Really feel that Indian manufactured cars need to have wider and bigger tyres
How will that help?
1-Is new XUV is best than older XUV
2-Does XUV is nice choice for offroding
Please suggest sir
+Raj Pathology
1. New and old XUV are mechanically same.
2. Depends on what your concept of offroading is, for purely offroading XUV or any monocoque is not a good choice.
so which is nice one under Rs23 lakhs
+Raj Pathology Increase budget, get Endeavour 2.2 Trend 4x4
Thanks for your suggestion sir
Does the duster get an auto locking differential?
It has Torque on demand, Automatically engaging AWD system(if set to Auto) but both front and rear differentials are open type. It does have traction control, which helps in some places not all.
What are the cars in Indian Market that comes with a OEM diff lock which can be operate manually not sensor based ?
Force Gurkha has both front and rear diff locks, diff locks apart, its a terrible vehicle to be sold in year 2018. Ford Endeavour gets selectable diff lock at rear axle, but it gets automatically disengaged based on data from sensors, and it can only be selected in a few modes.
Thats really sad. You don't get to buy a pure off-roader in the Indian market. Thanks to us only. 😪
How many of the 4x4 buyers are aware of proper usage and safety risks posed due to diff locks? No manufacturer wants to risk it here in India. True enthusiasts can always retrofit diff locks.
Renault Duster Is Best
Alright, If you say so
i would like if you guyz can take duster to that axle twister obstacle where only MLD works no other car crossed it ...thanks
Duster AWD won't cross it either. The ruts are too deep in that obstacle and Duster has limited articulation. It's a soft-roader in its abilities.
If I say Duster is good offroad, it is good by crossover standards, not by 4x4 SUV standards. As Rohit mentioned, it has no articulation to deal with ruts and open differentials will play spoilsport.
NO RENAULT DUSTER TURKISH DACİA DUSTER
thnxx sir for the videoo....👌👌👌
hey i hv a captiva i also want to test my car and i m frm ggn
Your Captiva is 2WD or AWD?
its 4wd
Bai creta k sath m off roading krke dikhao
+funny videos rm whats the point? 2wd cars are meant for on road use.
Ok sir
xuv 500 is a good off- roader than duster
+Shyam Sunil Not really but they are close
Anshuman Bishnoi .but i think that xuv offers high power,features etc
Yes it does
ok sir
romanian car..👍
Yes Dacia Duster, sold as a premium car in India as Renault Duster with extra chrome and Beige interiors, essentially started off as world's cheapest SUV.
Anshuman Bishnoi How much it cost , cause in Romania is 11.000-17.000 E ;(
where is ecosport
+harshit bajaj We don't do 2wd cars!
It should have been the same driver in all vehicles... badly judged and for the Vitara the free wheel has to be spun for traction control to Kick-in and that's when articulation problem is cut as power is not lost on the free wheel
For your information, Grand Vitara does not come with Traction control system & we know what we were doing.
Furthermore, these ramps are custom made for every car, I have attended many such manufacturer organised events. Vitara did not have even simple traction control/esp system in India, forget about Active Traction control.
I didn't know that the Indian version does not - So you are correct here!!!
