Comparison of the 2017 Renault Duster and 2017 Hyundai Creta
The Hyundai Creta is one of the latest vehicles to join the Korean automaker's lineup in the Middle East. This compact SUV is affordably priced and competes with several models, including the Renault Duster, which has attracted considerable attention since its debut in 2009.
Exterior Design
Both vehicles feature eye-catching designs, making them easily distinguishable from a distance. The 2017 model of the Renault Duster has undergone some changes, including:
- Updated front grille
- Large roof rails
- Darkened rear lights
On the other hand, the Hyundai Creta showcases a dynamic design language that appeals particularly to younger car enthusiasts.
Interior Design
There is a notable difference when comparing the interiors of both cars. The Duster's cabin has seen improvements in both seating and dashboard design, while also offering relatively generous space in both the front and rear seats. Conversely, the Creta features a standout interior that ranks among the best in its class, boasting spaciousness and higher quality materials than many competitors.
Performance
In terms of engine size, the Duster outperforms its Korean counterpart, equipped with a 2.0-liter engine producing 135 horsepower. While the Creta is fitted with a 1.6-liter engine generating 121 horsepower, the difference in power output is not significant. This increase in power allows the Duster to excel in acceleration and off-road capabilities, with an optional four-wheel-drive system available in certain trims.
Final Verdict
It is undeniable that both vehicles offer features that make them some of the best compact SUVs in the market. Although the 2017 Hyundai Creta boasts a beautiful design, an impressive interior, and a reasonable starting price of AED 55,900, the Renault Duster, starting at AED 47,900, presents an attractive option, especially for those looking to venture off the beaten path.
