Q. Which is a better VFM car? 85ps RXS Diesel Duster or Nexon petrol XZ+?Yes, mine is a wierd comparison question since both these are actually in different segments and the fuel is also not the same!My confusion comes with the discounted price of duster since with that, the two cars become similar - price wise.Diesel vs petrol is a question to be pondered considering the BS6 norms next April...Maintenance cost is also a factor.I like Duster lookwise (Exterior and Interior) and besides, it has more space than Nexon. But I am not sure about the practical power of 85ps diesel..and I also believe it would be costlier to maintain than the Nexon.Thoughts and advices please.Best RegardsAnoop

Answer

Wait until April bs6 car...is the best option..as of now blindly go for the price cut and buy a mid variant duster..they offer good price cuts on all year ends...maintenance problem can be overcome by giving service at proper time ..and getting an extended warranty..ensure about replacements..ore check the car...they will not call you for service..beware..these tips are enough..engine warranty upto 1 lac...is it ok?...picture abbi bhi baki hai Mr Anoop...electric line up on the way from Renault.
