Renault Duster

The Renault Duster was the SUV that kick-started India's mid-size SUV segment back in 2012.

It comes loaded with segment-first features and boasts the most powerful turbo-petrol engine in its-segment.
Moreover, the Duster remains one of the most capable front-wheel-drive SUVs for tackling rough terrain, making it a versatile choice for both city and adventure use.

Tata Safari

The big bull, and currently the flagship Tata vehicle, Safari, is a majestic piece of automotive engineering that overshadows most cars whenever it's on the move. It's packed with top notch features, and you can get the gesture-controlled power tailgate from the Accomplished Ultra 6S variant - which begins at Rs 23.42 lakh ex-showroom.
Then, there are two more variants plus 2 editions to choose from. However, it is surprising to know that the Safari offers this feature at a lesser cost than the Harrier, which is its 5-seater version. By this step, it does make sense to buy the Safari over the Harrier because, after all, you're getting a bigger car.
