Compare Duster Vs Creta

The Duster from car makers Renault has tasted huge success in India, and it has also been awarded the NDTV Car of the Year 2013. This SUV is slated to be launched in a face lifted version in India, which was first revealed at the 2016 Auto Expo in February 2016. Expected to be launched this year, this is going to be the first face lift of this compact SUV from Renault, ever since its launch in 2011.

The face lifted model of Renault Duster has got the unique and elegant look of the earlier model and comes with some cosmetically enhanced features like the new front grille, edgy head lights, new alloy wheels, restyled bumper and new tail lamps. Other than cosmetic updates, the Renault Duster also comes with automated manual transmission (AMT) called Renault Duster Easy-R AMT, which will be offered on a few models.

The automated manual transmission or Easy-R as Renault is calling it consists of computer controlled electromechanical actuators and facilitates the gear shifting without human intervention. It is placed over the 6 speed manual gearbox and controls its operation. When it is put in D or drive mode, the AMT system shifts gears automatically as per traffic conditions and throttle input. When in M or manual mode it enables us to manoeuvre and change gears, as we would normally do in a manual car.

Hyundai is one of the most popular car makers in India and well known for their aesthetically designed cars which are efficient too. Hyundai Creta which was declared the 2014 Car of the Year has been designed according to Hyundai’s new Fluidic 2.0 design principle.
