Safety Rundown
ANCAP lists the Ford Everest at 5 stars (2022) and the Renault Duster at 3 stars (2024). ANCAP tested these in different years (2022 vs 2024). Its criteria get stricter about every three years, so the stars are not like for like. Adult occupant protection scored 86% for the Ford Everest and 70% for the Renault Duster, under different test years.
Where the two diverge is in active safety technology. We can confirm 8 of 10 key ADAS systems on the Ford Everest, against 3 on the Renault Duster.
Both include the essentials: autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, a reversing camera. Airbag count is 9 in the Ford Everest and 6 in the Renault Duster.

Feature Showdown
The Ford Everest features a 12-inch touchscreen paired with a 8-inch digital dash, while the Renault Duster gets a 10.1-inch display and 7-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.

Interior trim differs: the Ford Everest gets synthetic leather upholstery while the Renault Duster offers cloth.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Ford Everest lines up producing 184kW and 600Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a 4WD layout.
The Renault Duster responds with a Petrol making 113kW and 270Nm, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 9.2 seconds.
The Ford Everest has the clear power advantage at 184kW vs 113kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Ford Everest measures 4,914mm long on a 2,900mm wheelbase, 569mm longer than the Renault Duster at 4,345mm (2,657mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Ford Everest generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 259L in the Ford Everest and 472L in the Renault Duster, giving the Renault Duster a 213L advantage. The Ford Everest seats 7 vs 5.
For towing, the Ford Everest leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 1,500kg. That 2,000kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Renault Duster's turning circle is 0.9 m tighter, 10.9 m against 11.8 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Ford Everest costs about $2,423 a year (8.5 L/100km, at $1.90/L diesel) and fuel for the Renault Duster about $1,901 a year (6.5 L/100km, at $1.95/L petrol). That is $522 a year less for the Renault Duster.
The weekly and 5-year figures in the price section above add repayments, rego, servicing and tyres to this; use our Fuel Cost Calculator for your own driving.
Warranty: 7 years / unlimited km (Ford Everest) and 5 years / unlimited km (Renault Duster).
- No break-even: the prices are on different bases (Ford Everest: drive-away (VIC); Renault Duster: RRP).
Energy only. Excludes servicing, rego, insurance, finance interest and resale. Prices are compared only on one basis.
Where each one leads
The Ford Everest: more power (184kW against 113kW) and the higher braked towing limit (3,500kg against 1,500kg).
The Renault Duster: the bigger boot with the seats up (472L against 259L) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,901 a year against $2,423).
The Verdict
Ford Everest scores higher, 73 vs 70
The Ford Everest scores 73 to the Renault Duster's 70 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 2 of the 4 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: safety (Ford Everest ahead by 30 points), value (Renault Duster ahead by 22 points), fuel economy (Renault Duster ahead by 18 points). At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Renault Duster costs about $522 less (6.5 L/100km against 8.5 L/100km, at $1.90/L diesel and $1.95/L petrol).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
