The trend for SUVs has immensely increased in India in the last decade due to their impressive performance, stylish appearance as well as a strong build. SUVs are designed for delivering power-packed performance uninterruptedly. Moreover, they are meant for challenging roads, urban, rural or mountainous terrains. The best part about this segment of cars is that these are comfortable even for long journeys. Be it on a long journey up the hilly regions for a retreat or a daily tour across cities, SUVs are the best choice. In this aspect, Mahindra Scorpio and Renault Duster have edged past the rest in his segment.
The standard Duster is priced between 7.9 lakhs INR to 13.0 lakhs INR and is considered an affordable option when it comes to choosing SUVs. The model is powered by a 1461 cc engine, which is capable of producing 108.45 bhp at the rate of 4000 rpm. The net torque output is 245 Nm at the rate of a reduced torque of 1750 rpm. The car comes with a six-speed gearbox for transmitting power to the wheels. Duster also comes with an All-wheel Drive (AWD) option. The total cargo volume of this car is 410 litres, so there is no shortage of towing space in the car. The fuel tank capacity of the car is 50 litres, so there is no need to worry when it comes to taking long trips.
Scorpio has been right at the spot from the time of its launch. Also, several updates and modifications have been introduced in the model, which have made it more popular. The current variant comes with a 2179 cc engine, capable of churning out a power of 120 bhp at the rate of 4000 rpm. The net torque output of the car is 280 Nm at a reduced rpm of 1800. Power is transmitted to the engine via a five-speed gearbox. Like the Duster, this car is also provided with FWD, which makes it all the way better for challenging roads. The fuel tank capacity of the car is slightly higher at 60 litres, and the net cargo volume is 460 litres. The comfort aspects are taken care in the best possible ways, which is why these two models have become best choices among SUVs.
