Hybrids are new diesels, and this is evident from the recent announcements of hybrid plans from multiple brands in India. With Renault officially revealing the ARAI-certified fuel economy figures for the Renault Duster Strong Hybrid (E-Tech 160), it has thrown a tough challenge against established heavyweights like the Maruti Grand Vitara, the Maruti Victoris and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
Here is a detailed mileage breakdown and comparison of how these top strong-hybrid SUVs stack up against each other on paper.
ARAI-Certified Mileage Comparison
When it comes to official fuel efficiency figures, the new Duster Hybrid has managed to edge slightly ahead of its competitors:

27.97 km/l |
|
Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid |

With an ARAI certified mileage of 29 kmpl, the Duster Hybrid beats the Grand Vitara and Hyryder twins by around 1.03 kmpl, making it the most fuel-efficient strong hybrid SUV in its class. It also offers a marginal 0.35kmpl higher fuel efficiency compared to the Maruti Suzuki Victoris.
Engine and Tech Differences
Renault Duster E-Tech Hybrid: it is packed with a larger 1.8-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with two electric motors (20bhp motor working as a starter generator and a 49bhp traction motor that drives the wheels) and a 1.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
