Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Volkswagen Taigun
- Styling that'll age well. New elements like the illuminated logos make it stand out more.
- Boot space: Not the biggest on-paper, but very practical for daily use
- Driving dynamics: Feels fun to drive without any big compromise in ride comfort
- Performance: Both 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines offer good performance
- Cabin: Good space and practicality for 4 adults
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.

Volkswagen Taigun
- No ADAS features could be a miss for people who do long intercity trips
- Rear-view camera: Poor resolution limits usability. No 360-degree camera option
- Powertrain options: No CNG, diesel or hybrid powertrain options
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.
