This is the new Dacia Duster!
Dacia is renowned for making relatively cheap yet good value-for-money cars, and Mat’s about to see if the Duster is the right choice over some of its more expensive competitors!
For starters, the new Duster has a number of upgrades compared to the previous model. On the outside, there are a few design updates including a new grille and new tail light designs. What’s more, all Dusters now come equipped with LED headlights!
On the inside, you’ll also find an 8” infotainment screen in all but the entry-level models. There are a number of other design tweaks, along with some optional extras including heated seats!
When it comes to engines, there are a number of petrol and diesel models to choose from, with the range-topper being a 1.3-litre turbo petrol that can produce 150hp. If you choose this spec you can get the Duster with an automatic gearbox, while any other choice is equipped with a manual only.
The Duster starts from only £15,000, but is it the smart choice?! You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

@ax85114 9 месяцев назад

I work at Dacia factory and so does my wife and my father. My mother and grandfather worked there as well (he helped building the factory in the 60s). I grew up in Mioveni and I still live there. I never had any other car besides Dacia. Me and my family had Dacia 1310, 1410, SuperNova, Solenza, Logan, MCV, Sandero and now Duster. I can tell you that Renault saved the factory back in 99 when they came to Mioveni and they did an astonishing thing with the brand. I'm so happy Dacia lives on and has gotten to this level of fame and appreciation

It's really a shame that Dacia doesn't serve in North America. There are way too many cars here that are too complex and overpriced. Lower class North Americans are desperate for cars like Dacias. As a 16 year old, I'd love to buy a Dacia Sandero as my first car.

I drove this on a recent trip. It was a 2hrs drive to get there and noticed no wind noise etc. Found it extremely comfortable and silent (not sure wind sound you mention) . The space inside and especially the boot size beats most other cars. If you have kids it would also be perfect for car seats in back, great height to lift kids in and out with loads of room for buggies, baby bags, toys etc etc etc. This is a great car. Unless your an utter car snob, this car is fantastic.

Nearing two years of ownership of a comfort trim 2020 Duster with the 100hp 1.0 three cylinder. Super satisfied with it. I've travelled Europe a lot, use the back for sleeping. 25k kilometres now. Last trip was Slovakia -> Croatia and back, around 1400km, and I averadged 5l/100km. Got no 4x4, but when it's dry I don't shy away from the woods and every week I visit our family vineyard which has driving over terrain to get to it. Very good cars. Recommend. My father just got the Sandero Stepway two months ago, also with the 1.0, lovely ride too.

I’ve had mine 2 weeks and driven 1000 miles through France in it. I can safely say that all the 5 ‘issues’ mentioned are irrelevant. It’s a fantastic car for the money, there is no excessive road noise, the cruise was fine on the French roads and the blind spot sensors are super helpful. 4 adults with luggage and a baby seat in the middle. No issues with comfort or room. I think the clowning around distracts from the review and makes people lose interest. It’s a great car and I’m happy about saving 10 grand over the price of the Civic I had before. It was a very wise move.

@CrusaderSports250 Год назад

Many cars have a remote opening fuel lid, and have had them for many years, I cannot see why that is even an issue, and as far as the soft suspension goes we are back to slagging of the very thing that gives the vehicle any off road prowess without any explanation, the two wheel drive has firmer suspension as it does not need to keep all its wheels in ground contact to maintain traction due to the fact that it wouldn't be in that situation, due to pushing the extra metal the 4x4 version doesn't quite get the same to the gallon as my conventional one, the only real criticism I have is the rather light tow weight, my old Discovery was three and a half tons, but at thirty three to the gallon as opposed to fifty eight point seven (my best yet), you can't have everything. When you next criticize a four wheel drive for soft suspension could you please qualify why it has it or can we see Ferrari's criticized for lack of ground clearance when off road, fair is fair.

@@noahuhrenholdt3389 The safety rating for personal use doesn't matter much. It's got everything but some electronic gadgets which are unnecessary for an experienced driver and the problem with all the aids including general road safety is that it lulls the driver into false sense of security. That in essence obviously lowers attention. And airbags can only do so much on which front Duster hasn't got a problem as far as I know.

I recently bought a FWS petrol 1.3 turbo and I love it! I prefer to call the (what you describe as) "scratchy" door and dash plastics as "easy wipe clean". OK, performance is not lightening fast but it's not a Ferrari and is very much more than adequate, as is it's road holding - the extra ground clearance soaks up most potholes like they were never there but I have found it to be more than able in country lanes and twisting corners, and can easily keep up with whatever is in front of it. I prefer not to think of it as a cheap car (as it is very well kitted out), but more that other cars are too expensive!

I bought the Duster Extreme Special edition. I think it's great, I love an underdog. The heated seats have 1 setting and come on and off. The little cipholder I use for a California scents air freshener. The other 2 aren't an issue except the back one with the arm rest can end up covering it up. The side seel definitely does touch the back of your legs. I've driven the car in snow and it did very well, better than the other people I was around. Its not fast at all but it doesn't feel as slow as it is. What I like that Matt doesn't go into is there's a good amount of storage under the seats, so under the passenger seat I've got a bunch of things. The headrests are very hard which is about the only bad thing I can say. It's got lots of cheap plastics but it's cheap and it keeps the car from being a full on family car and keeps a bit of a rugged off road feel which is what I like most about this car, it doesn't feel like it's just a useless over sized hatchback, it feels like it's got serious purpose

@Coastmac2001 2 года назад

Appears to be a fairly decent vehicle. I still am convinced that this could do well in Australia , with the bigger petrol engine, Auto tranny & AWD. Would absolutely knock any of the Chinese offerings here for 6. The diesel appears a bit underdone for Australia & manual transmissions are almost a rarity here anyway. Now all we need are a network of importers, dealers, parts , warranty etc. Just need someone to BRING THIS IN .

@aaryeshg.6526 2 года назад

In UAE, we get this car with a 2.0L 4cyl and 4 speed auto. Would be good for Australia also I guess. The 2.0L engine is not available in Europe because emissions regs there stopped production.

@@aaryeshg.6526 That car, with 2l gasoline engine and 4 speed auto, are made at Mioveni plant, Romania. Unlike the one in the video, who are made in India (like all the right steering Dacias). A company from Romania succeeded importing back the UAE type Duster, with official paper that is an euro 6 car. And you can buy it in Romania for ~ 20k euro.

@aaryeshg.6526 2 года назад

@@BogdanBogdan-um9zi that is very nice. It's actually a good engine here, super relaxed for road trips and strong air conditioner, my family had it with that engine for 8 years from new and it ticked along nicely to 150k km before selling and it's still going along to this day. The only thing I hated is that 4 speed auto. 😂 The gear ratios are too long and ruins the smoothness and acceleration. It is a little juddery in traffic but transmission never broke. At highway speeds its great. I imagine it would be better with a 6 speed auto. It needs closer ratios to make it really smooth.

Why is the fuel filler annoying? Seriously Matt that’s almost universal in Australia. Personally I don’t like having my fuel filler open all the time.

in more expensive cars, they fuel filler is locked shut when the doors are locked. This is achieved by a solenoid which would add cost and complexity, and dacia are a bare bones kind of brand

@this_dude5307 2 года назад

The Dacia brand and all of its models should come to the US. It would have a market that is almost nearly abandoned, which is cheap affordable cars for basic transportation. I can guarantee you that the Duster would be a hit due to its affordability and the fact that it’s an SUV. But of course, their models will have to pass regulations so that may be a reason why they can’t sell here.

@CoreMaster111 2 года назад

There are loads of options for cars around 15 to 20k in US. Except most people don't want most bareboned car and those who do probably can't even afford the 15k.

@@CoreMaster111 I understand where you’re coming from, but that market is literally becoming extinct! The Chevy Spark and Hyundai Accent are recent examples of models that were discontinued! And it doesn’t help that everything is getting expensive nowadays! And it’s just sad how everyone wants the latest bells and whistles in their cars!

We've got 4 models in South Africa (badged by Renault with more attractive grill) - all with the 1.5 diesel engin. I'm driving a 2019 4x4 (manual). Very frugal, enough punch when overtaking, excellent offroad ability - very short 1st gear serves as a low range gear in 4x4 lock mode. Couldn't get anything else at the price except Suzuki Jimny which is far less practical and heavier on fuel. Definitely the Duster automatic for city.

It's a cute little SUV and I don't care how budget it is - it's cheaper than many used cars I could buy, it drives nicely, and it costs peanuts to repair if anything breaks.
