But as the service centre in Guwahati shut down recently, and also due to the lack of readily available spare parts, I was compelled to sell it.

Recently, I had booked a Renault Duster Adventure 1.3L DCT and might get the vehicle delivered within a week. I have also taken the test drive and liked the power and comfort. But my concern comes from the fact that the sales figures have gone down from 512 units in July 2026 to zero in August 2026. So will it right to go ahead with the Duster, seeing their sales figures going down?

As an alternative, I am looking for the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7 turbo Petrol TC.
