Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.82L more for the Duster Iconic: the Duster Iconic runs the turbo engine and 163 PS against 103 PS, a 58 percent jump you will feel. It also adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS and blind spot monitor. 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: touchscreen (10.1" against 9"), dual-zone climate control, front parking sensors and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Duster Iconic, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitor and head-up display, which the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder V if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.82L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Renault Duster Iconic if
- You want the stronger, quicker car and will use the performance
