Ford Ecosport : Build quality is good, the dash board looks posh compared to Duster.  Ride & handling is much better compared to its smaller length.  Ecosport has much more features compared to Duster for the price.  Overall a VFM car.
Duster : Has a proven engine that gives good economy.  Ride quality is excellent.  Sturdy vehicle.  Lacks climate control AC.  Has much bigger boot space compared to Ecosport.  However, one has to pay approx. 3.5 to 4 Lakhs more for Duster on road.
