Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.10L more for the Venue N Line N10: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and 8-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Duster swallows the most luggage at 518 litres
- The Duster Adventure is the strongest of the two at 163 PS
- Also on the Venue N Line N10: tyre pressure monitor, ventilated front seats, drive modes and terrain modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Venue N Line N10, you give up sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), dual-zone climate control and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), which the Duster Adventure keeps
- Choose the Renault Duster Adventure if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.10L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Venue N Line N10 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
