Remault duster ticks on most of the checklists but a major disadvantage being outdated but surely the best at this price range.Kia seltos although looks premium with its classy exterior it suffers less milage and Mr. D.S. Pughazhyendhii might have to prefer the lower end to satisfy his budget and might lack premium interior features. With ford ecosport providing the least interior space and safety feautures and hyundai creta facing issues with driving comfort , nissan kicks delivering low cabin space , if Mr.Pughazendhu doesnt mind much about his tradeoff with the car being outdated , Renault Duster would be the best one to go for and if he doesnt mind about the driving comfort of the car and cares more about his milage and good customer service Hyundai creta would be a wise choice to go for.
