Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Renault Duster

212 mm ground clearance and tough build with skid plates and reinforced protection.
Higher variants include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, Google built-in infotainment, and extensive ADAS.

Things We Like in Honda Elevate

A refreshingly simple and solidly built car that will outlive its owners.
Interior space is among the best for all occupants.

Things We Don't Like in Renault Duster

No diesel engine or all-wheel-drive option in the current lineup.
Rear drum brakes on all manual versions (discs only on DCT).

Things We Don't Like in Honda Elevate

Screen savvy younger buyers will have trouble accepting Hondas age old "less is more" rule!
That i-VTEC engine will feel a bit lethargic to anyone who has driven a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol in Korean or German offerings
