The third-generation of a Top Gear favourite has definitely grown up - should we be worried? Why? Well, it looks a bit… too good, bluntly. A bit plush. A little too much equipment and swagger for what is supposed to be a cheap, no-nonsense, working hero.
But even though prices haven’t been announced as yet, Dacia insists that the Duster will continue to offer supreme value for money - and that it’ll be the most affordable car in the segment. Just how affordable is still up for grabs, but if it’s cheap enough, it’ll be a no-brainer. Just keep those prices down Dacia, OK?
In the meantime, take a look around the luxo-Duster with TG magazine's Tom Ford, and let us know what you think...

Reading so many positive comments here about the Duster makes me incredibly happy; it's like a dream come true. I'm one of the many engineers who've worked tirelessly for about 20 years for Dacia. The Duster wasn't a perfect car when it was first launched in 2009, and it's still not perfect now, but I'm proud to be part of its evolution. Seeing someone who drives a "fancy car" (Audi, Land Rover, BMW, Volvo) try a Duster, buy it, and give positive feedback was hard to imagine 15 years ago. Nowadays, more and more people are buying it, not just customers with fewer financial means. It's a significant achievement; the journey has been impressive. There are many models from famous brands that haven't reached this volume (more than 2 million units sold). Thank you for the great video, for all the positive and constructive comments. I don't expect only positive feedback, but I'm pleased that ~ over 90% of the comments were positive, which is amazing. I feel like I can open a champagne to celebrate this… believe me, behind what you see - it s a very hard work, amazing dedicated people.. I left Dacia few years ago (for personal reasons), but it’s still like my family…

There are 2 design faults which stops it from being a perfect car. The back seats should have been designed to lay flat to give maximum rear space. And the big, the CO2 on the Hybrid model should have come under 50g for company cars drivers and not 111g. Dacia have missed out on the big company car drivers market!!

@@plop31 MG4 is 30,000 euro (SE). It depends on where you will drive it. I have a Renault Capture which has the same motor like Duster. I drive around 6000 km per year in the city (9.5l/100km one average) and 6000 km per year outside the city (5.8 l/100km). If I would buy an electric car this means around 1000 euro less per year if I would charge the car at home. I must drive the electric car around 8-9 years to make the difference. 100,000 km means the life of the car ... So .. no. And if I would buy hybrid version (2000 euro more) , this means 500 euro/per year less on benzine (in 3-4 years I will make the difference between a hybrid and non-hybrid). If you have I pizza delivery business I think EV is a solution. But I would buy a Dacia EV which is half the price of a MG4. EVs are for upper middle class and is brought for status. Economically doesn't make any sens!

In 2016 I bought a new Duster. Had it for 4 years and it was 100% faultless throughout that time; rattle and squeak free, reliable and really comfortable. I’ve had Volvo, Audi, Ford, Citroen, Peugeot, Alfa, Lancia, Renault, FIAT, VW amongst others over the years. In all honesty, the Duster was probably the best of the bunch as an overall package. And then there’s the low price! As predicted, they’re fast becoming Renault’s Skoda. This looks like another fine product.

Interior wise it wasn't even close to the GL, It was a sea of gray plastic with glossy brown bits at the time, but the Duster earned our respect. Great car 👍 And the brand has come a long way since then in terms of quality.

Fast driving in the UK, for more than a few minutes for a laugh just doesn't work now, get this and save a fortune, treat it as what cars today actually are- moving boxes for personal transport. Well done Dacia, this is actually a premium car and will be more reliable than any Audi. Great, interesting, well presented review by someone that wants to talk about the car, not themselves. Well done to you too for saying you actually like a simple, non flash car, wish more moto-reviewers would follow your lead.

@todorkolev7565 3 месяца назад

my thought exactly. If they get the cost down to 18k-ish, you'd have to be stupid to buy a "non budget brand" small car, EG a Polo. I was put off by the current Duster, the clutch was offset like a crazy Italian sports car :D But if they sort that out or the automatic is just very good, this will be very sought after car and other brands will need to come up with an answer!

We have one for five years now. We had a porsche and bmw m3 before. But when our children were born, I wanted a car that I do not mind when it gets a scratch or dent. It has been the most reliable and affordable car regarding fuel costs per kilomter, since we drive the LPG version. This also means that when we drive over the German autobahn for wintersports holiday or summer holiday we are actually one of the few driving 160 +km per hour on the autobahn. Quite funny to pass all kind of fast BMW's and Porsches in this car. We will get a more luxurious car again in a few years, but it has been absolutely great and probably will remain great for the time we still own it. If it is as good as the earlier model regarding reliability, fuel costs and maintenance costs, I can recommend it. Also since it is very light, with four good winter tyres you can drive it up any snowy or muddy mountain road and tyres will usually have to be replaced because of age, not because of there is no thread anymore (change front and rear axle each year).

While the exteriors of the cars look amazing i'd say, even the 2023 variants of Duster, Logan, Sandero and Jogger, they are pretty cheap inside, plastic almost everywhere and stuff feels flimsy and cheap but what can you say, the Jogger starts at the price of 13k Euros, Logan at 16k, Duster at 17k, Sandero at 12k and Sandero Stepway at about 14k, the cars are all offering very amazing packages for their low prices, i think Dacia is making amazing strides into becoming a respectable car brand, people do like to shit on them for not having "extremely strong engines", you have to remember, this is a car that looks amazing, costs under 20k and drives like a charm , it is stupid to expect a cutting edge engine in such a car, the Duster Extreme version does offer 150hp engine but it does indeed pass the 20k Euro mark.

It has a sat nav with free updates, blind zone sensors, auto climate control, cruise etc, etc. It has everything you need and nothing you don't need.

The materials for the trim looks good and the front and back bumpers being that material not showing scratches is really good. It's a bit bigger which is good because I like the size of mine but it's in-between a small and a mid sized SUV, this brings it closer to the mid size which makes sense with the bigster coming and having the stepway and other new models. The interior looks great, bigger screen with smaller bezel, nicer vents, nicer materials. Has a nice rugged, purposeful design still but a new different one that looks better. The guys at Dacia are very good at making great ideas with very little. An example I like is they have a seatbelt slot in the rear door trim so when you move the seats up and down, the seatbelts don't get in the way or end up behind the seat. Simple, costs nothing but practical. Even the mirrors are tough. I had someone in a range rover ram in the side of me in a hit and run. The mirror just lost the cap. What's funny is I had a similar result another time where I had an electric gate close and the sensor didn't pick up my car and the gate hit my mirror. The cap popped off but mirror was fine. Popped it back on. In the fiesta I had before as much as I loved it, the mirror would have broken off the folding mechanism and it'd be a new mirror

I really love the look, I dislike the heating controls going to the tablet, that's a deal killer for me. Knobs and buttons are so much easier to use, less distracting and safer, plus easier and cheaper to fix if they break, tablets in cars cost real money to repair or replace, with that said I think Dacia will sell boatloads of these, they make sense and are quiet good looking and more affordable, they are certainly value for money.

Dacia has become a brand that begins to get interesting to me, not also for the price, but I think this looks good, nice design inside and outside, and they came up with their own ideas, this plug connector is really great, especially when you have that on the dashboard to mount your phone on it for instance. It's also good that you get an automatic gearbox, that was also a reason why I never would have considered buying a Dacia, because for a long time, they only had manual gear boxes.
