Pros Cons of Renault Duster
Pros
- Modern buyers will find a practical list of safety and comfort features.
- The highway stability and overall ride quality are excellent.
- Supportive seats with ventilation make long drives comfortable.
- Both turbo-petrol engines offer strong performance and good drivability.
- Engaging steering and driving position boosts driving experience.
Cons
- The 1.3-litre turbo returns a real-world city mileage of about 9kmpl.
- Both engines display some turbo lag during slow-speed driving.
- Centre console intrudes into left knee space, more so for taller users.
- The three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine emits more NVH and has no automatic option.
- Average rear-view camera quality and the DCT gearbox feels jerky sometimes.
Verdict
The Renault Duster still has the genes of the original, which it such a success in India. Sure, it does not try to attract buyers with flashy functions or an endless feature list. What it does is focus on delivering a comfortable ride, superb stability, strong turbo-petrol performance and that true SUV driving experience.
Bilal Firfiray stated in his review:
"It’s engaging enough to make enthusiastic drivers smile, yet comfortable enough to keep families happy."
If your priority is a well-rounded SUV that can go over poor roads, cruise comfortably on highways, and still offer an enjoyable driving experience, the Duster ranks quite high in its segment. Just be aware that not the automatic gearbox is not an option on all powertrains and variants, unlike some rivals.
Pros Cons of Honda City
Pros
- The cabin offers ample space
- The 1.5-Litre i-VTEC petrol engine is refined
- Ride quality is exceptionally comfortable
- Standard six airbags and Level 2 ADAS features
Cons
- The feature list lacks some premium additions
- Rear seat headroom is tight for taller passengers
- There is no diesel or turbo-petrol engine option
- The manual transmission can feel jerky at lower speeds
Verdict
The Honda City continues to hold its ground in India's sedan segment well. Owners have often mentioned how it rarely sacrifices everyday practicality, passenger comfort, and long-term reliability, regardless of the generation launched. From our side, we firmly consider this vehicle a reliable car that is intended to provide a relaxed driving experience. Furthermore, the eHEV variant has brought a new age of exceptional fuel economy to the sedan. If you intend to own a dependable, spacious, and family-oriented vehicle, the Honda City remains a highly sensible investment.
Girish’s review summarises this about the sedan,
“The facelift and the enhanced feature list justify the car’s price tag even more. The City has always been like that: a no-nonsense car that gets the job done with very little drama. It still is the same. One can argue whether that is better or not in the current world of make-believe, but there is little doubt it fits into the various Indian scenarios with ease, even more effortlessly now.”
