Renault India in order to boost sales of Duster and other car models, has introduced an exchange bonus besides other discount schemes. As seen in the last couple of months, the sales of Duster have taken a beating from the EcoSport and so to lure more buyers, the company is offering discount, exchange scheme and free insurance.

The hot compact SUV is been offered with an exchange benefit of Rs 25,000 on the diesel variant of both 85PS and 110PS while the petrol model attracts an exchange of Rs 15,000. Apart from this, the manufacturer is also offering free additional warranty for two years and free road side assistance for four years. We spoke to few dealers and they confirmed that this is a limited period offer and exchange bonus will depend upon the condition of the car. Moreover, Renault Pulse and Scala are offered with free insurance, free additional warranty for two years and free road side assistance for four years while the Koleos attracts two years of free warranty and four years of free road side assistance.
