Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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.
Kia Seltos
- Plenty of charging options for the entire family: 5 USB type-C ports with front wireless phone charging
- Feature-rich: Dual 12.3-inch displays, panoramic sunroof, 8-speaker Bose sound system, 360-degree camera and Level-2 ADAS
- Engine and transmission options: Gets three engines, including a diesel, each with the option of a manual or automatic transmission
- Ride quality: Feels comfortable with improved cushioning than before

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.
Kia Seltos
- Not as poised around a corner as before: Comfy suspension has reduced the sharpness in handling
- Polarising looks: New bold design is a big departure from the earlier sharp and sporty look
- Fuel efficiency with the turbo-petrol and diesel-automatic won’t be great
