Renault Duster vs Tata Curvv: which should you buy?
The Tata Curvv starts at ₹9.76L against the Renault Duster's ₹10.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.73L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.49L, where the Duster tops out. Past that only the Curvv has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.16L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Duster comes in petrol, the Curvv in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.49L to both showrooms and you come out with the Duster Iconic at ₹18.49L or the Curvv Accomplished at ₹17.66L, the Curvv leaving ₹0.83L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.83L more for the Duster Iconic: level 2 (full suite) ADAS and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: 6-way powered driver seat and front parking sensors. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Duster Iconic is the strongest of the two at 163 PS
- Also on the Duster Iconic: headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Duster Iconic, you give up tyre pressure monitor, JBL system with Dolby Atmos and touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), which the Curvv Accomplished keeps
- Choose the Tata Curvv Accomplished if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.83L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Renault Duster Iconic if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
