Renault Duster road-test review (updated)

The Renault Duster has been making waves ever since it was launched, and it was the car that gave Renault solid presence in the Indian market. No wonder then that it was our Car of the Year 2013.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ford Ecosport

If the Renault Duster kicked off the craze for compact SUVs in India, the Ford EcoSport cemented it and made it one of the fastest growing segments. Ford EcoSport have been flying off the shelves ever since it was introduced, so much so that the demand for the compact SUV still far outstrips the supply. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tata Safari Storme
 
This one was a long time coming. After 14 long years, Tata finally brought in a replacement for the ageing Safari. And it was a good effort too, as the Storme is a huge step up from the old Safari.

Maruti Alto 800
 
Reams have been written about Maruti’s super-successful Alto, and in its newest avatar, it picks up where its predecessor left off – right at the top of the sales chart. There’s no doubting that Maruti did a good job with the new Alto 800.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
New Honda CRV

Chevrolet Sail UVA
 
The Chevrolet Sail U-VA is GM’s foray into the premium hatchback segment in India. But can it appeal enough to make buyers turn their backs on offerings from the likes of Maruti, Hyundai and Volkswagen?
 

Hyundai Grand i10
 
The new Hyundai Grand i10 has a lot to offer. It slots in neatly between the i20 and i10 and marks Hyundai’s fifth hatchback offering in India. It even gets Hyundai’s first, locally produced, small three-cylinder diesel engine which opens the doors to a relatively untapped small diesel hatchback segment in India
