Maruti S Cross vs Renault Duster

Question 1

Q. Best option between Maruti Suzuki S Cross Zeta & Renault Duster Turbo (RXZ) for Daily office commute & occasional highway use, please suggest.?

Answer

Renault Duster gets a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine that generates 156PS/254Nm and is mated to a 7-step CVT, whereas, the S-Cross gets a 1.5-litre petrol engine that churns out 105PS and 138Nm mated to a 4-speed AT. If you are looking for a rugged SUV with a powerful engine, good ride quality and quality interiors then you may go for the Duster. 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. On the other hand, if you want a capable city car with a spacious cabin, refined petrol engine with good efficiency and brilliant ride quality then the S-Cross would be a better pick. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for Dealership details.

Question 2

Q. Which car is the best, S-cross or Wagon R?

Question 3

Q. Which car to buy, S-Cross or Taigun?

Answer

Among the two options, we would suggest you to go with the new Volkswagen Taigun. It has a good amount of features, safety feature-wise too it feels sorted right from the base variant. The ride is comfortable enough and more importantly is fun to drive. On the other hand, the Maruti S-Cross is aging and is due for an update. You may wait for the launch of the second-gen S-Cross if you are looking for a capable city car with a spacious cabin and brilliant ride quality. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Question 4

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.
