Introductory - for 2 years 65 thousand. For every 100 km - 15% of the mileage on a terrible primer-shaking and off-road, on a good highway, the speed is 130-150 km / h, urban mode is 30% of the mileage. Average consumption 9.8
The maximum speed has all the necessary options, the minimum price among competitors.
I am happy with cruise control, anticorrosive and how the car "holds" the road (well, rubber is not the last place)
Passable, has never got stuck. although there is where (forest, field 2 times per trip, snow and showers in stock). Yes, not Niva and not Sheviniva (there is an experience of "shit" to mix), and sometimes you need to look at the road, and adequately assess the situation.
There were reviews of poor heating, the ass warms up quickly and hot, the stove quickly heats up the cabin, maintains the temperature at speed 1. I don’t like condo categorically, but if necessary it works fine, especially in the city in a hot place.
The machine is utilitarian and fully fulfills the assigned tasks of a semi-rural resident. A sort of simple and understandable comfortable mini-truck.
I’ll tell the blasphemous Duster - buy yourself a Ferarri (although you’ll find it for 5 kopecks), and forward along our roads with pits and ruts. Or think before buying what you take and why you need it.
I don't really use the hands-free feature. I can hear perfectly, but I'm practically gone. Weak microphone.
- poor visibility in the rearview mirror. Especially if a passenger is sitting, whose head almost completely covers the right rear "window". Although I have a "ski" and a review from the left side rack to the right. Side mirrors make things easier. They are good, when parking there is no need to readjust.
- maybe not "-" underestimated speed readings by 4 km / h
- there is no indication of engine temperature on the dashboard, sometimes annoying in winter
- I drove into a puddle after heavy rain - the check caught fire. Already waved a hand to fix it.
- in winter it is necessary to control the gas tank cap, do not open or close after washing
- lack of sealing gum in the right places. All the dust "in itself." Especially when opening the rear doors, all the arches are dusty, you walk with a cloth to wipe. For money, I installed a sealing gum on the hood, the engine and the engine compartment became cleaner.
- about short programs - read the "textbook" (instruction). The first for off-road and loaded cars (+ trailer). I'm touching the second one. The fifth and sixth have a large range, no extra gestures are needed.
Almost every 15 thousand I change the front or rear stabilizer struts. Perhaps the off-road shaking makes itself felt.
- under warranty, the replacement of the residual oxygen sensor (lambda probe) for 30 thousand
- under warranty, the body was fragmentarily repainted (cracks in the CIP gutters on both sides, chips from gravel on the rear arches and wings) for 45 thousand. For money, they glued an armored film on the arches.
- 4 times changed burned-out low beam bulbs. Especially hemorrhoids right to change.
- Changing oil and filters according to the maintenance schedule.
It would seem that the new Renault Duster and Rio X-Line are completely different cars, and completely different approaches to the automotive industry. But when there is a million, and the practical question arises: take a raised new hatchback with a cross-body kit, or a full-fledged proven crossover?
But doubts during the choice will not leave you, and for those who blindly desire the X-Line model from Kia, without even looking at other models, questions will arise. Even if the Car in the Kia line looks fresh, raised and in a cross body kit, but the price tag for this car has skyrocketed. Remember, this is a hatchback. Stuffed to the full with newfangled options, the car will cost 1,034,900 rubles.
Renault Duster is much larger than Kia Rio X-Line. Consequently, there is more space in the cabin. Both cars are on 16 rims, but Renault has significantly larger wheels than Rio.
Counting on such an amount, you can already look at the full-fledged crossovers Hyundai Creta and Renault Kaptur. Or calculate, think and take almost an SUV - Renault Duster in a new 2018 body. In picking Privilege, the price will cost 980 990 will be all-wheel drive. You also need to add another 16,000 for the stabilization system (so that the Duster is not useless on off-road), as well as a package for the Protection package to protect the rear gearbox, radiator and tank, for which you will have to pay another 11 thousand. These are the right options if you are going to get into the dirt. And with these options, the Duster will come close to the cost of the Kia Rio X-Line. And in such a price range, not a single crossover can be compared with Renault Duster in cross-country ability.
Which one is warmer in winter?
Here the advantage is clearly on the side of the Kia Rio X-Line. In the morning, in a frozen car, after turning on the engine, the car instantly warms up. There is a heated steering wheel, heated seats. A powerful blower melts the glass instantly. The engine also heats up quickly. By the way, it's petrol.
Despite the rich equipment, Rio does not have a rain sensor, but it does have a comfortable armrest and many niches for storing things. Renault Duster has better visibility, Rio was let down by small mirrors.
In Duster, you will have to warm yourself in a down jacket and wait until it thaws. There is no steering wheel heating, just like the windshield heating. The diesel engine takes longer to fire up than the Rio, heating the seat with one position, while the Kia has two positions. Unfortunately, Renault Duster does not have climate control, and the temperature of the stove is not displayed in any way, it is necessary to constantly adjust the blowing force. However, after warming up, the Duster becomes very comfortable and warm.
The difference in fuel consumption
If you go outside the city, then the differences in the checkpoint can be ignored. But it is worth noting that the Rio has a classic six-speed automatic, and the Duster also has a six-speed mechanic, but the first gear is very short and very annoying in traffic jams.
But the fuel consumption per 100 km is significantly different for cars - almost twice. If on the Kia Rio X-Line we could not manage to lower the average consumption below 10.5 liters per hundred, then the Renault Duster easily gave out 6-6.5 liters per 100 km. This is where the significant fuel savings begin. And the 92nd, which a Korean can eat, is not much cheaper than diesel fuel for a Frenchman. So it turns out that you can save not only real money, but also time at the gas station.
Dynamic indicators
The Korean car is equipped with an engine with a power of 123 horses and a torque of 151 N∙m at 4850 rpm. According to the passport, it accelerates to the first hundred in 11.6 seconds, which is one and a half seconds faster than the Renault Duster with its 109 horsepower and 240 Nm diesel at 1750 rpm. Not surprisingly, the difference in these one and a half seconds is felt very strongly. In the city, the driving mode does not betray the tightness of the French engine so much, but on the highway, the Kia Rio X Line feels like a very frisky car, but the Duster needs to be driven, not driven.
The base Rio X-Line costs 784,900 rubles (mechanics, engine 1.4), Duster in the base costs 639 thousand.
Rio X-Line offers you an active ride, in terms of the segment, its handling is clear and pleasant, and the steering wheel obeys when cornering. While Duster reminds that it's not time to rest, but you need to always be focused on the road and not yawn. The steering wheel is not so pleasant, the rolls are much larger, and the steering column is given blows from a bad road.
Interior ergonomics
A lot of words have been said and many texts have been written about the terrible ergonomics of the Duster, everyone knows about flat chairs, strangely scattered buttons on the front panel, and in general, the front panel of the Renault Duster is very strangely planted. But if you compare it with the Rio X-Line, then I want to say that Rio is the complete opposite. The X-Line is modern, follows the current trends in the automotive industry, the buttons are logically located and everything is very clear. The front console is turned towards the driver, and the climate unit in the form of a joystick for the console is very captivating. The interior of the Korean is perceived as more solid and modern. Although in this price segment you can only hope for hard plastic, it is very pleasing to the eye.
Leather for Duster is offered only in the highest configuration, it is thin. Also, only at maximum speed there are power windows, for picking Prvivilege they can be ordered with the Multimedia 2 package for 27 thousand rubles, which will also include navigation, a rear-view camera and parking sensors.
Although the Duster cannot boast of a nice and modern interior, it completely bypasses the Korean on bumps. Speed bumps, potholes, bumps, ice, all this Reno goes through once or twice. The independent suspension of the Frenchman does not seem to notice all this road horror. Although Rio is driving, it is tough and sometimes you can get a breakdown if you distract yourself from a bad road.
And speaking openly, the Kia Rio X-Line is nothing more than a marketing ploy, the ground clearance is slightly increased from the declared 170 mm, there are real 160 mm under plastic protection, there is no all-wheel drive in principle. So the X-Line is an ordinary Rio hatchback, only in an off-road body kit, you should not expect anything from it that is not typical of a hatchback, especially off-road terrain.
Underground, both cars have full-size spare tires.
Who is more practical?
The rear sofa will be more spacious in the Renault Duster. The passengers of the Frenchman will have more space in the shoulders, in the legs and overhead. However, this is all the amenities, not counting one 12V socket. The Rio X-Line is tighter, but the car does offer heated seats and storage bins in the doors.
The dimensions of the luggage compartment do not differ dramatically. Rio offers 390 liters, and Duster boasts 408 liters, Renault has a better trunk, but Kia has a lower loading height and it is more convenient to throw things there. Duster also boasts various niches and an organizer hidden on the sides and trunk underfloor. If, with the rear seats folded down, the difference in volume is not so big, then if they are expanded, then Kia completely loses in the volume of the luggage compartment. In this case, Renault offers 1570 liters, while Kia only 1075 liters.
The result is an interesting situation. You can buy a small SUV for almost a million (Renault Duster), which for its class performs well off-road. But if his jeep bully has nowhere to go, then the car can be hated very quickly. It has many shortcomings and miscalculations. On the other hand, there is a raised hatchback in a crossover body kit, which may seem aggressive, but in essence it is “homemade” and is intended for maximum trips to your grandmother or to the country. But he trumps excellent interior and ergonomics. It should not be overestimated and most likely it will suit more young people who value image. In general, both cars need to be evaluated soberly and choose both cars based on the goals that you will set for them.

Essence of the question: What is better Kia Sportage or Renault Duster?
I'm going to buy a new car. Initially considered: Renault Duster, Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sporteydzh. I won’t pull Qashqai, it’s already painfully expensive, and reviews of ownership also say that it’s expensive! Mitsubishi ASX still looked, but it is small and not some kind of stern.
In general, I choose from Kia and Renault, which is better to buy?
Kia Sportage or Renault Duster (pros and cons)
Duster or Sportage
I will write a few reasons for the Duster.
- Duster is cheaper.
- Duster is higher.
- I personally prefer to sit in the Duster, it has more space.
- The suspension on the Duster is stiffer, but I like it more.
- If you are a hunter or a fisherman, then there is only Duster, or Chevrolet Niva.
For Sportage.
- I like the filling of the Sportage, it squeaks when you leave the markings, where else in this price range will there be such chips?
In the future will be replenished, from the comments!

Expert opinion
The following two tabs change content below.
I own a Renault Megan 2 car, before that there were Citroens and Peugeots. I work in the service area of the dealership, so I know the device of the car "from and to". You can always turn to me for advice.

A 1.6-liter unit with a capacity of 102 hp is presented as a gasoline engine. Such a car will cost a little less than with.
Under the hood of a diesel Duster 109 horsepower
But the presence of a diesel unit in the Duster is not quite a competitive advantage, since the KIA Sportage is equipped with a 177 (!) -horsepower, 2.0-liter diesel engine.

Kia Sportage is a car from South Korea in a new dynamic body.
The new model from France has a different lighting technology, the bumpers have also been changed, the radiator grill has been redesigned, the body color has become khaki and an updated version with different wheel rims. It should also be noted that the meshes were reduced in the radiator grille and the plastic ribs were made thicker to protect against unforeseen situations.
As for the South Korean model, in it the radiator grill in the style of the “tiger nose” has been located somewhat lower for many years, and the front optics are close to it. The front bumper is now more massive. For an additional fee, you can buy a car with a panoramic roof. The rear view shows stylish optics with LED DRLs. Well, 17 inches. alloy wheels.

After the hegemony of Asian crossovers ended in the early 2000s, European brands are gaining good ratings and are already serious competitors. This article will discuss how to make a choice between Kia Sportage or Renault Duster.
general information
The manufacturer of Kia brand cars is Korea. Korean production has long established itself as high-quality machines that meet all consumer requirements.
Renault is made in France, and also has no small competitiveness.
Most consumers already have a formed opinion about automakers, someone prefers exclusively Korean production, regardless of the shortcomings, and someone opts for French cars.
Duster or Kia Sportage? This is a rather difficult decision, because both cars are very similar. Judging by the time frame of finding a car for sale, then the Korean, of course, will be the leader in front of the Frenchman.
Appearance
Looking at the exterior of the cars, we can say that Kia definitely wins over Renault. Renault's design is more reminiscent of the previous 1992 Sportage model. For French designers, this is a big minus, as it seems that they have no imagination left. Most customers do not have any desire to buy an outdated copy of a Korean competitor. In this category, Renault Duster is completely inferior to Kia Sportage. But, since everyone has different tastes, there is even an amateur for such a design.
Inner space
Renault's interior design covers all the disadvantages of its appearance. When compared with the interior of the Kia, it surpasses it in almost everything. The main and significant difference is the functionality of the dashboard, it contains a lot of functions that are not even expected from Sportage. The Korean, in turn, pleases the eyes of consumers with high-quality upholstery.
A fairly significant criterion when choosing a car is the volume of the trunk. At Renault Duster, it is quite roomy, reaching 408 liters. If you lower the rear seats, then it increases to 1570 liters. In Kia, in its usual form it reaches 564 liters, and with the seats folded down, it increases to 1353 liters.
For people who often use it to carry a lot of things, the Renault Duster is the perfect option.
Specification Comparison
The main comparison of Kia Sportage and Renault Duster by technical specifications:
- Octane value. It should be noted that the Kia needs refueling with 95 gasoline, and the Renault Duster can function well on 92. This allows the owners to decently save personal money.
- Transmission. Both crossovers have an all-wheel drive system, but have a different transmission. Renault has a six-speed manual, while the Sportage has a six-speed automatic transmission.
- Engine power. The Sportage has 150 horsepower, while the Duster has 143.
- Engine capacity. The compared cars are almost the same. The Renault Duster engine is 1.5 liters, while the Sportage has 1.6 liters.
- Weight. Sportage has 1474 kg, Duster has a weight of 1190 kg. Such a difference in weight gives the French crossover an advantage in dynamism when driving. It is much easier to disperse it than Kia.
- Maximum speed. In this category, Kia wins, as it has 191 km / h, while the Duster is limited to 180 km / h. Of course, these are not significant indicators, but for someone they are quite important.
- Fuel consumption. The most expensive for gasoline is Kia. If we compare the mixed type of driving, then the Korean crossover has a consumption of 8.3 liters, while Renault has 7.8 liters.
Complete set
Cars Sportage Renault Duster and have many different modifications.
Manufacturer Renault is engaged in the production of several varieties of drives, such as front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive with the ability to connect and conventional four-wheel drive.
Pluggable drive is a button with which the rear wheels are connected to the front wheels to help.
The Renault car has five types of trim levels:
- Basic Authentic. It has a gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 102 horsepower. There is both an all-wheel drive system and front-wheel drive, the transmission can be either mechanical or automatic.
It has three engine sizes. The smallest is a diesel engine system with a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 90 horses, available only with all-wheel drive. The transmission can be automatic or manual. Next come larger engines already based on gasoline with volumes of 1.6 and 2.0 liters. The largest of all has 135 horsepower with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options.
Kia Sportage has 5 types of equipment:
The Classic package is basic and has a rather rich content. It contains ABS, airbags for both the driver and the passenger, air conditioning, 16-inch wheels. In fact, it has everything you need for a comfortable ride.
The most typical configuration of the Kia Premium crossover is produced only with all-wheel drive. The list of options in it is many times greater. Of these, there are climate control, 4 airbags, a rear-view camera, air curtains, leather interior, 18-inch wheels. With such a complete set, the owner will feel in full what a comfortable ride and luxury are.
When choosing a car of your dreams, each person focuses primarily on the price category. After all, not everyone can afford an expensive car. The average price of the Sportage for 2017 was 1,150,000 rubles, while the Duster can be purchased for only 650,000 rubles.
Kia Sportage or Renault Duster which is better?
Compared Renault and Kia cars have a lot in common, but each has unique qualities.
Duster has won the attention of consumers with its affordability and quality characteristics. Even with the minimum equipment, you can feel increased comfort inside the car. The car is quite easy to drive and goes off-road perfectly. The trunk, in comparison with the Sportage, has an increased capacity, which is an additional plus of the car.
The advantage of the Kia Sportage is all-wheel drive. But, as practice shows, the patency does not improve from this when compared with the Duster. This car is well suited for city trips, as gasoline consumption increases significantly when traveling on the highway.
It is always difficult to choose a car, Kia Sportade or Renault Duster, which is better for the buyer to decide.
