Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

Renault Duster

  • New Turbo Petrol makes it one of the most powerful offerings in the segment. CVT and manual transmission options. Still offers outstanding ride over all road conditions.

Skoda Rapid

  • Build quality. Peppy and efficient turbo-petrol engine. New 6-speed torque converter has no power lag. Ride and handling.

Renault Duster

  • Interiors still not the most spacious. No diesel option.

Skoda Rapid

  • Missing modern features. Transmission too eager for slow daily commutes and weak infotainment package.

    Awesome Car 

    Always dreamt of owning an SUV, and in November 2015, I got the Renault Duster Rxe dci. Driven it for 60,000 km. Happy for its road presence, ease of driving, good ground clearance, and fuel efficiency. But, somewhat high servicing costs and 2 instances of starting issues. Had smaller cars before. The Duster feels big compared to them and suits my simple driving style. Despite being withdrawn after BS6, it brought success to Renault. Hoping for its comeback and more good products. I've seen the Dacia Sandero and think Renault should bring it to India. Good luck to everyone on Zigwheels.

    Excellent Car 

    This is an excellent car that we've driven extensively. The mileage is impressive, and the build quality is solid, not subpar. It's quite substantial in weight and offers a lot of fun while driving.
