The front seats are poorly contoured in the first place and offers below average overall support. The seat-back is short in height, which means you don't get necessary support at shoulder area. The seat base provides only mediocre under-thigh support. Ride quality is just one part of the experience. The new XUV has a proper automatic, and is head and shoulders above the Duster when it comes to drivability, cabin experience, refinement and overall quality levels. If the contest is between XUV and Duster, my recommendation would be XUV- at the end of the day what serious difference does a 25 cm length difference and 7 cm width difference make. |

... How is the ride quality and acceleration in the XUV automatic. Is it comfortable to ride even in the city traffic? Which automatic version to take, there seem to be so many options in XUV? How does the Hexa fare in comparision to XUV and Duster? |

I am interested in an automatic SUV around 15-20 lakhs price bracket. Annual running around 15K kms. So diesel seems like a good option. Need high ground clearance a.. Dad is more inclined towards EcoSport but it does not have diesel automatic and the bigger problem is small boot for me, for road trips. XUV seems good but is still bigger (longer) and would not prefer that. Does that leave me any other option but the Duster? |

Although the XUV is a huge vehicle, I always found it is very easy to drive and park, as the all round visibility is excellent. As far as the plush ride is concerned the Duster wins hands down. It also has better road manners and can tolerate hard cornering very well. Steering is lighter than the XUV and the brakes are snappier too. The AMT has a jerky feel, which is inherent to this type of transmission. But this is certainly not annoying. The mileage I get for the XUV averages at 12.5 kmpl, while the duster, as of today, returns 15.15 kmpl. Edit: there's this car, Creta that comes in AT spec too. |

Duster's seats are pretty average, but the ride quality kind of compensates for this. But still on a long drive, I would prefer a bit better seats. |

Ecosport, with all respect to the proud owners, is a hatch with SUV clothing! XUV, though bigger, is relatively easier to drive! May be the (bigger) size is the reason for not looking at a capable automatic in Hexa |

W8 AT is the most popular. But if you need AWD, then it is available in W10 only. W10 also has other whims and fancies like sunroof. I think, for a tall person like you it would be difficult to find good driving position, as commented by GTO once. In short: 1. Hexa is the best if you buy it exclusively (or most of the time) for non-city drives. However,presently no 4x4 automatic (XUV has). Interiors way ahead of other two cars, though. 2. XUV has lower floor, good spread of features to suit different customers in different variants, average ride and no boot (with boot it is actually a 5 seater.) 3. Duster is an established practical product, a driver's car, easy to drive and maintain without option of 7 seats (and if you don't need 7 seats, do I still need to say..) |

Wow, am getting a bit confused. Neither do I want sunroof, nor do I need 7 seats. A 5 seater is just fine. Just need to know the comfort level of the Duster wrt to say old SX4 or Honda City for long drives. I had done a 3000km road trip in SX4 and was comfortable. With the Honda have also done Goa trip but bit tiring. I think I need to check out the cars. Duster seems good but AMT and front seat is the issue. XUV seems good with proper automatic but maybe not so great ride quality. |

To clear your confusion a bit, last month I did a 700 km non stop drive in 12 hours, and I was still not much tired. Same feedback from the family too. |

I just did a quick check of both XUV and Duster, didn't take a TD though for lack of time. The Duster's seating is low and with my seat position back seat legroom is very poor. Both seats felt similar in size to Honda City but I hope thigh support in XUV will be better due to higher seating. Will be doing TD in few days time |

B. Is it possible to fit an arm-rest for the co-driver? |

Is the RXL AMT stopped by Renault? When I checked with Trident Renault in Bangalore, this is what the SA told. |

Dislikes: 1. Door lock button has to be depressed for few seconds to active and deactivate the auto door lock functionality. Quite a weird functionality. Is the auto door lock option not necessary? What is kids depress it and deactivate door lock functionality. 2. Vehicle does not have a door lock button / two stage pull lock from inside. If you have kids you have a switch on the child lock. The door can be opened in one pull from inside. The door lock on the center console is to lock the door from opening from outside. |
