Hear from the










I am planning to upgrade from Skoda Rapid Monte Carlo 1.0 AT (2020) to a family-friendly SUV. Considering the new Renault Duster Hybrid and Hyundai Creta IVT/Turbo Petrol. With ageing parents and a 9-month-old baby, my priorities are easy ingress and egress, spacious rear seats and good boot space. My annual running is around 5,000 km which mostly involves city driving. Which SUV would you recommend?
The Renault Duster (non-hybrid) has a large rear boot and the car is also newer and fun to drive, however your priorities of spacious rear seats and easy ingress/egress would be better met in the Creta and we would suggest the IVT as its smoother than the DCT autobox for everyday family use. Given that an all new Creta is around the corner you should bargain hard for a good deal and you could have a significantly lower purchase price too.
I need your advice to decide between Duster Hybrid and Byd Atto 3. Please note that I have a 9 KW solar plant at home.
Given their difference in the fuel, the choice between the two cars really comes down to what your usage is like. If you have some long drives out of the city then the Duster hybrid would be better as you would not have to plan your trips around EV chargers or have to wait in line or spend time charging. The hybrid offers you more flexibility in that sense, however is your drives as mostly short distances then the EV would make sense especially since you have a solar plant at home and on the few outstation trips just make sure you plan your rest breaks along with charging points too.
I’m thinking of buying a hybrid. Which would be the better choice: the Honda City Hybrid or the new Renault Duster Hybrid? Setting aside the body style for a moment (one is a sedan and the other an SUV), which would you recommend for reliability and long-term ownership? In terms of interior comfort, both cars seem similar to me, apart from a few small differences.
Go for the Duster Hybrid for its excellent driving manners. If you are self-driven, the Duster will be the better pick; even during long drives, you will appreciate its high ground clearance and overall rugged feel over bad and broken roads. In comparison, the Honda City hybrid will feel more refined and smoother to drive, particularly in the city, and its real-world efficiency is likely to be better too. Further, the City has a comfier backseat and larger boot. The only downside being that the sole hybrid variant is priced Rs 2 lakh above the top-spec Duster hybrid, making it a bit hard to justify the premium.
I am looking to buy a hybrid car in the Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh range because my daily running is 80 to 100 km. I was looking at the Renault Duster Strong Hybrid 1.8L, but I am not a big fan of its looks and rear seat space. I would like to know when the Kia Seltos Hybrid and the 7-seater version of the Duster are coming out so I can plan accordingly.
Since the design and rear seat space of the Renault Duster is not something you prefer, our recommendation would be to wait a bit for the upcoming Kia Seltos hybrid. The standard version has a good rear seat with plenty of space and comfort and the hybrid is likely to follow that. The Creta will also get a hybrid powertrain but this Kia car will be coming first so you will not have to wait too long. The 7-seat version of this Renault car will also look similar to the current Duster so if you aren't a fan of that, the upcoming SUV won't exactly be up your alley either. The idea decision would be to wait for the Seltos hybrid and take a call then.
Hi Autocar Team, I am considering the Renault Duster E-Tech hybrid and have a few concerns: 1. How reliable is this hybrid powertrain internationally? Are there any known issues with the engine, transmission or battery? 2. What is the expected battery life and replacement cost? Is there enough real-world data to establish its 10-year reliability? 3. Can it handle challenging Himalayan routes like Leh-Ladakh, including high altitudes, steep climbs, long descents and extreme temperatures? Are there any performance or cooling limitations? 4. Is Renault India's service network equipped to handle hybrid repairs, especially during long-distance trips? 5. Given the Rs. 3.5 lakh premium over the DCT, would you recommend the hybrid for 10-year ownership and extensive road trips across India? Thanks
The Renault Duster E-Tech hybrid would be our recommendation, particularly if you enjoy driving and plan to undertake frequent highway trips. As our review found, the 160hp, 1.8-litre hybrid powertrain is both quick and refined, with instant electric motor response and a 0-100kph time of around 10 seconds. Unlike many hybrids, it doesn't have the typical rubber-band effect or engine drone, and feels more like a dual-clutch automatic, with distinct gear shifts. It is also an excellent highway cruiser, with strong in-gear performance for overtaking. The Duster's ride and handling are particular highlights, with precise steering, excellent high-speed stability and a suspension setup that deals impressively with broken roads. For Himalayan journeys, its performance and comfortable ride should make it a capable companion on regular mountain roads. It is front-wheel drive, though, so it isn't intended for serious off-roading. The hybrid also gets a seven-year vehicle warranty and an eight-year battery warranty, which is reassuring for long-term ownership. While 10-year reliability data and battery replacement costs are not yet established, the technology has been used internationally for several years. Renault's service network is a consideration when travelling to remote regions, so check workshop support along your regular routes.
