Kia Seltos vs Renault Duster

Question 1

Q. What is the difference between turbo variants and non turbo variants?

Answer

If you want more power then you may go for turbo engines, on the other hand, the naturally aspirated engines would be best suited for city commutes and good enough for calm driving. However, you may feel the power lag on highways and when sudden acceleration is required. The Duster Turbo is powered by a 1330cc four-cylinder turbocharged engine that makes a healthy 156PS of power and 254Nm of torque, a huge jump over the 1.5-litre motor (106PS/142Nm). The first thing that you notice as soon as you start driving the Duster Turbo is just how refined this motor is. You barely hear it at idle and save for some vibrations through the steering and pedals, it is a soothing place to be in. Being turbocharged you do get some throttle lag below 1600rpm but even here this engine doesn’t feel dead and has enough grunt to pull forward without much hesitation. However, this motor does tend to stall easily if you release the clutch a bit too quickly, something you have to keep in mind in stop-go traffic. Thankfully, because the Turbo version comes with a start-stop system this issue is somewhat negated. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.

Question 2

Q. Duster 1.3 RXZ CVT or Seltos Kia DCT. Duster clearly has the best boot space but lacks features.

Answer

Since both cars are from different segments, selecting one would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, features required, etc. DCT is a dual-clutch it has two different clutches which operate two sets of gear ratios, one odd and the other even. When driving around, a computer pre-selects what it feels will be the next required gear using the second clutch, and thus, at the time of the gear shift, the difference between the two is negligible whereas CVT is the most different kind of transmission on this list as they don’t have actual gears. They instead work on a belt-driven system that is suspended off two pulleys. These pulleys can change their radii to mimic any kind of gear ratio, meaning they are capable of offering infinitely different gear ratios. A transmission control unit decides what gear ratios to use depending on your throttle input, speed, incline, and other factors. The Seltos is impressed us So much that all we could complain about was a lack of under-thigh support and the rather stiff ride quality. GTX Plus DCT is fun to drive and feature-loaded too. And more than anything its pricing makes it one of the hottest picks in the segment On the other hand, the Duster has a smooth engine, an easygoing gearbox, and epic ride quality on its side. The new 156PS turbo petrol makes this a very interesting proposition for the enthusiast. It's still a great looker with an updated interior along with a very robust mechanical package. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealer.. Read more -Kia Seltos vs Renault Duster.

Question 4

Q. Which is the best car between Maruti Suzuki XL6 and Renault Duster?

Answer

Selecting between the Renault Duster and Maruti XL6 would depend on your preference of the segment, budget, space, features required and more importantly, usage of the car. If you are looking for a comfortable MPV with a refined and tractable engine then you may opt for the XL6. Maruti has done enough with the XL6 to distinguish it from the Ertiga but a few more wow features and a better safety package would have made it an irresistible package. As it stands it's a good option for a large family looking for one car that could do it all. On the other hand, the Duster has a smooth engine, an easygoing gearbox and epic ride quality on its side. The new 156PS turbo petrol makes this a very intresting proposition for the enthusiast. It's still a great looker with an updated interior along with a very robust mechanical package.

Question 5

Q. Which is better to buy in terms of cost, long run and performance between Duster 1.3 Turbo RXZ or Creat EX?

Answer

Overall, the Duster has started to feel old when it comes to interior design and fit and finish, and it also lacks the wow features. But even now the Duster does feel appealing thanks to its rugged styling and phenomenal ride quality. If you love driving then you should definitely consider buying the turbo version. The powerful and refined petrol motor makes the Duster fast and exciting to drive and it also adds a layer of sophistication in an otherwise simple SUV. If you want convenience then it comes with a CVT transmission option. On the other hand, the Hyundai Creta is clearly an impressive compact SUV. It is spacious, comfortable, loaded with features and easy to drive. It does have some shortcomings like the polarising design. But other than that, it is hard to fault the Hyundai Creta and it comes across as a well-rounded product. If outright performance is not your priority and want a spacious car with smooth ride quality, refined engine and great interiors, you may go for Hyundai Creta. Both cars are easy for pocket to maintain. However, you may get an idea about the service cost of Creta and Duster. keeping the car for long will totaly depend on how the car is driven and maintained. You may compare both cars accordingly.
