Is the Renault Duster or the Tata Sierra cheaper?

The Renault Duster, by ₹1.00L: it starts at ₹10.49L against ₹11.49L ex-showroom for the Sierra. Both run well past that, so what you actually pay depends on the variant.

Which is more practical, the Renault Duster or the Tata Sierra?

On the figures the makers publish, the Sierra swallows 622 litres of luggage against 518. Everything else about living with them, from boot shape to how the back seat actually feels, is a test drive question rather than a spec sheet one.

Which is cheaper as an automatic, the Renault Duster or the Tata Sierra?

Neither: they ask exactly the same money as an automatic, ₹14.49L ex-showroom, so this one is not the tie-breaker between them. A gearbox is usually the biggest single step on either ladder, so check what else that trim brings before you read it as the price of the automatic alone.
