Pros Cons of Mahindra KUV100

Pros

  • The KUV100 has a small foortprint but offers good space
  • There is good enough bootspace for the occupants' bags
  • Available in both manual and AMT transmissions

Cons

  • The middle seat in the front row is not the best place to be in
  • The engine, though refined, is not the peppiest in the segment
  • Gear changes can be a little cumbersome because of the long travel of the clutch

Verdict

M&M has facelifted its smallest offering, the KUV 100 and given it as many as 40 changes overall. The KUV 100 NXT is an improvement on the car for sure. But it is still far from being the segment best. It's quirky and does attract with its SUV appeal. Mahindra should see some renewed success with the facelifted car - though should start to think about better connectivity interfaces like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto.

Pros Cons of Renault Duster

Pros

  • Gets a powerful turbo petrol engine
  • New CVT automatic unit performs well
  • The Duster continued to offer great ride and handling

Cons

  • No diesel engine on offer
  • Could do with more premium features
  • Doesn’t get 4x4 option anymore

Verdict

The Renault Duster does miss out of some of the more common premium features in its segment like a sunroof, rear AC vents, wireless charger, or ventilated seats. However, it’s the most affordable SUV in its class, and for the price you get decent creature comforts, a powerful turbo petrol engine, and great driving dynamics, which make it one of the best driver’s SUV in the segment. And if you are looking for that then the Duster is worth considering.
