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.

Pros Cons of Kia Carnival

Pros

  • Captain Seats In Limousine Variant Is A Must Buy
  • Great Ride Quality
  • Diesel-Automatic Combination Is Great

Cons

  • Poor Safety On Lower Variants
  • Low Ground Clearance
  • 9-Seater Variant Offers Little Practicality

Verdict

The Carnival comes to India as a Completely Knocked Down kit, and while it has all the makings of a benchmark MPV, its higher price tag and the fact that Kia is still a relatively new brand is making a lot of MPV buyers shy away from the product. That said, it is undoubtedly a solid product and if you are out looking for a large, premium, chauffeur-driven vehicle, that can also double up as a family car or maybe a workplace on wheels, then you must consider the Kia Carnival.
