Renault Duster vs Tata Tiago Comparison

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.

For first-time buyers and small families, the Tata Tiago is one of the safest and most practical city hatchbacks available in the Indian market today. We agree that it’s quite vocal with the three-cylinder motor and the occasionally resisting AMT gearbox. But Tata Motors has addressed such shortcomings in its offering with class-leading safety features and structural integrity. Since there are multiple powertrains available, the car is also an attractive choice for different daily requirements or buyer budgets.

Furthermore, the cabin feels well put together, the audio system is brilliant, and the supportive front seat is appreciated. The suspension is ideal for local roads, keeping passengers comfortable over uneven terrain. Overall, if you want a safety-first car, a comfortable riding unit, and a functional package at an affordable price, the Tata Tiago deserves to be at the top of your list.

Jaideep’s review summarises,
“Yes, the Tiago does have some downsides, such as its ageing design, lack of flashy features, and the AMT feels lethargic, but these are certainly not deal-breakers. If you can live with these shortcomings, this is very much a car to consider for your city commutes.”
