At a lower price, you can get yourself a good deal on a mid-size SUV than settling for a compact SUV! Let's have a look at why Duster makes sense -

Dimensions and Capacity	Renault Duster	Tata Nexon
Length	4360 mm	3993 mm
Width	1822 mm	1811 mm
Height	1695 mm	1606 mm
Wheelbase	2673 mm	2498 mm
Ground Clearance	205 mm	209 mm
Boot space	475 litres	350 litres
Fuel Tank Capacity	50 litres	44 litres

From the table above, the Duster really stands out from Nexon and you are actually getting more for less.

As far as the engine options are concerned then Duster packs in a 1.5L naturally aspirated unit generating 105 bhp with a peak torque of 142 Nm. Tata Nexon packs in a 1.2L turbo petrol pumping 118 bhp with 170 Nm of peak torque. While the Nexon looks like a powerful unit, we should always know that naturally aspirated petrol is better for a longer run. A 5-speed stick shift is offered in the Duster whereas a 6-speed manual is for the Nexon.
