The Nissan Tekton Acenta and Renault Duster Evolution make an unusually direct comparison. V3Cars lists the same 100PS and 166Nm output, six-speed manual gearbox, claimed 19.41kmpl mileage and 2,657mm wheelbase for the versions it compared. If those are the specifications you care about most, the decision shifts to price, equipment, dealership experience and how the exact cars feel.
V3Cars’ five-year model favours the Duster Evolution by roughly Rs. 79,700, split between an ownership cost and feature-value advantage under its assumptions. That is a useful starting point, not a reason to ignore a strong local Tekton offer. Ask both dealers for a comparable on-road quote with the same insurance cover, accessories and warranty assumptions. Then ask for the scheduled service estimate and the location of the service centre you would actually use.
Inspect the practical details that specification twins can still handle differently: seat shape, outward visibility, infotainment response, storage and the controls you touch every day. The best family car is often the one whose front seats and rear entry work better for your household, even when the printed dimensions match.
If your chosen Tekton powertrain differs from the Acenta 1.0L manual, do not carry this result across to a turbo automatic. A model name is not a powertrain. The same caution applies to any real-world mileage figure from another trim.
