I am sorry to have hurt your sentiments here. The Duster is quite popular in France and Spain and is a bestseller SUV in both countries in 2011: If your mind allows you to keep aside the fact that its basically a 14 year old design, you just may find yourself a good vehicle which gives you space, road presence, diesel FE and in Indian terms the “SUV experience” For any potential consumer I would say go with an open mind and test the vehicle.

With attractive finance options from SBI (5 & & year loans) at a rate of 10.5%, it definitely makes the short list of vehicles I will consider when upgrading my Scorpio next year. Overall I was impressed with the Storme, having been a Safari basher all my life. Sales rep claims the Storme will give 13kmpl, of course I asked the all important “ kitna deti hai” question.Delhi evenings have cooled down and the AC on no.2 blower felt very cold and I had to turn it down to 1 towards the end of the drive.At this point the sales rep wasn’t too happy with me checking for body roll by pulling F1 style tyre heating moves 110 kmph was achieved in 4th gear down Aurangzeb road with ease and the car felt stable and grounded.The Storme accelerates well for its size and in 3rd at about 2800-3000 RPM has a solid torquey feel, similar to what I get in my 2.6 crde scorpio.Gear shifts are a bit clicky and not as smooth as the Scorpio, especially in the lower gears (1,2).

On starting the engine you realize that there is much less noise and feels refined from that roar of the DICOR, which gave a truck feeling.

Doors have a nick “clunk” sound when closing, borderline German I would say lol.

The Chrome with the Storme badging looks classy in the front and back.

Best to be folded and fill up the boot with luggage

The jump seats in the rear at best are for kids because no adult can sit comfortably in them.

The arm rest and cup holders in the backseat are of poor quality and look like an after though added from Lajpat nagar market.

Seating in both front and back is very comfortable, I pushed the driver’s seat all the way back and sat in the backseat (I’m 6’1) and my knees did not hit the front seat.

I always wondered why so many members complained about single DIN systems, I now understand you comrades single DIN looks badly out of place in a console as big as the Safari’s.

NO dead pedal, for highway riders like myself this is a major let down.

Overall plastic and faux wood quality is improved and doesn’t give the tacky feeling, though the rather shiny chrome door locks could be toned down.

Same with the AC knobs and temperature control, the fittings don’t give a premium feel for a 14 lakh vehicle.

Interiors are much improved over the previous DICOR, though I wish they had changed the instrument cluster which looks very dated for a “New” safari.I like what TML has done with the subtle changes to the front headlamps, grill and the rear end looks understated and classy with just that hint of Landrover.Anyway paperwork done and we were ready to roll and here are my thoughts after a 20km TD around Central & South Delhi – What I found really odd was from a marketing/positioning outlook the Aria was literally hidden at the back end of the showroom. Inside the showroom they had the brown colored (the color in all ads) parked on what was supposed to be logs and rocks, a half baked attempt at recreating the outdoors. Got to the dealership around 4PM on Saturday and a white Storme VX was waiting for the TD. Later I realized it’s a company owned dealership hence would have the best service. So finally I got back to Delhi over the weekend and immediately called up Concord motors in South Extension to book a test drive, surprisingly they said the car is available which has never happened in the past.
