Now the trend of hybrid vehicles is increasing rapidly in the Indian mid-size SUV segment. The recently introduced New Renault Duster and Maruti Suzuki Victoris are face to face. The new Renault Duster carries forward its old rugged and powerful SUV DNA, while the Maruti Victoris has entered the market with a modern, sleek and futuristic design. Let us know which car is better in terms of design, features and safety.
Difference between design and road presence
New Renault Duster’s wide wheel arches, high ground clearance and Y-shaped LED lights give it the character of a true SUV. This car runs smoothly even on bad roads. Maruti Victoris, on the other hand, gives a more premium and luxurious feel with its long body, chrome elements and smooth design. Victoris looks more elegant on the city roads.
Interior and Features
Talking about interior, Maruti Victoris focuses more on technology and comfort. In this, 8-speaker Infinity sound system and 64-color ambient lighting makes the cabin special. Whereas the cabin of Renault Duster feels more functional and sturdy. It has a large 10.1-inch touchscreen and Google-built-in system, which makes connectivity easy. Both SUVs have premium features like panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats.
Engine, Mileage and Driving Style
The 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine of Renault Duster is better for those who want power and performance. Duster proves to be more reliable on off-roading and bad roads. Whereas the strong hybrid system of Maruti Victoris is ahead in terms of mileage. It gives a very quiet and economical drive both in the city and on the highway.
Safety and which SUV for whom?
Maruti Victoris gets a 5-star safety rating and level-2 ADAS. Renault Duster also has 6 airbags and more than 17 ADAS features. If you like adventure and off-roading, then New Renault Duster is a better option. But if you want a smart, mileage-friendly and feature-loaded hybrid SUV for the city, then Maruti Victoris would be a wiser decision.
