Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara
- Premium looks: LED headlights, LED DRLs, upright SUV stance, connected tail lamps and 17-inch alloy wheels.
- Good creature comforts with features like ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and rear sun shades.
- Multiple powertrain options: mild-hybrid, strong-hybrid, CNG, manual and automatic transmission options and all-wheel drive.
- Super efficient: Hybrid powertrain returns more than 20kmpl in the real-world.
- Ride comfort: Excellent ride quality on all kinds of surfaces.
Renault Duster
- Simple, rugged design. Looks ready to take on harsh Indian conditions.
- Brilliant suspension tuning. Exceptional ride comfort and sharp handling too!
- Loaded feature list: Panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats etc.
- In-built Google integration: Google Maps, music streaming apps live inside the car, not your phone.
- Biggest usable boot space: gobbles up check-in sized luggage bags with ease.

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara
- Misses out on diesel engine offered in rivals like Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
- Boot space: Compromised boot in the hybrid variants can only accommodate medium-sized suitcases and smaller bags.
Renault Duster
- Rear seat space is average. Enough for a six footer behind another, but not exceptional.
- Plastic quality in certain places could be better.
- 360° camera quality is sub-par. Grainy and low res.
