This mid-size SUV of Renault has got 5 star rating in crash test. Due to the steel body of the car, it can give tough competition to even the strong cars of Tata and Mahindra. Renault India on Monday said that its new Duster SUV has received a 5-star safety rating under the Bharat New Car Assessment Program (BNCAP).<\/p>\n<p>The company said that the new Duster has performed brilliantly in both adult and child safety categories. It got 30.49 out of 32 for adult safety and 45 out of 49 for child safety. V. Vikraman, Head of Renault Engineering India, said that this result is the result of excellent implementation of engineering at the ground level. A number of simulations, physical crash tests and system-level validations were conducted on the Duster, with special attention given to real-life Indian road conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>What were the results of the test?<\/h2>\n<p>Vikraman said that every aspect of the Duster, from the strength of the body structure to the restraint calibration and electronic safety system, has been combined, tested and perfected. The 5-star BNCAP rating reflects the rigor of this entire engineering and validation process. This is the reason why this car, which has returned to India after 4 years, can give strong competition to the cars of its segment. Earlier, Duster used to get tremendous response in the Indian market and its sales were also higher than other cars of the company.<\/p>\n<h2>Which cars will face competition?<\/h2>\n<p>Renault&#8217;s Duster is a mid SUV range car, which comes in the range of Rs 10 to 19 lakh. This car is going to compete with Hyundai&#8217;s Creta and Kia&#8217;s Seltos, Maruti&#8217;s Grand Vitara, Tata&#8217;s Sierra, Toyota&#8217;s Urban Cruiser, Honda&#8217;s Elevate and Skoda&#8217;s Kushaq and Taigun. At present the car has been launched and customers were waiting for the results of its crash test. Now that it has got a 5 star rating, the impact of this result will definitely be visible on its market and demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atawrap\">\n<h2 class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atahead\">About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899\">\n<div style=\"min-height:52px;margin:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" alt=\"authoring\" title=\"authoring\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" class=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/byline\/pramod-tiwari-2837.html\" class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atamail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pramod Kumar Tiwari<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pramod Kumar Tiwari likes to cover stock market, investment tips, tax and personal finance.
