"Who’s ready for an almighty off-road showdown!
We’ve got our hands on one of the most renowned off-roaders around, the Land Rover Defender, and it’s going head-to-head against… a Dacia Duster!
Ok, just hear us out! Everyone knows that the Defender is a great car for off-roading. After all, the model we have here is powered by a 3-litre turbo Diesel engine with 300hp & 650Nm of torque. What’s more, it comes with loads of off-roading tech, including a central locking diff and air suspension!
However, it’s pretty expensive, costing from £84,000. In comparison, the Dacia Duster costs just £22,500! Sure it’s down on power, with its 1.5-litre turbo diesel only producing 115hp & 260Nm, but is it a better value buy than the Defender?
Well it’s time to find out! Stick with Mat over this series of 6 challenges to see whether the Duster is a better value purchase than the Defender!"

My honest opinion is that relatively cheap cars like Duster, Panda, Jimny, etc are best off-road, because you wouldn't be afraid of your car as much when you drive expensive ones, so you would personally perform better.

@@MRQ. exactly my thought when reading the original comment.
@@MRQ. I get what you're saying but that last part doesn't make sense. The cheaper car would still be cheaper for a rich buyer than the more expensive car.
@@mauripekkarinen1 for a rich buyer they would both be cheap, so he wouldn't care either way
Not only the price also how the car looks like. The expensive cars are so long and cheaps are not so long which do a better job at some off road problems
Considering Duster is just 1/4th of the Defender price - it's really impressive performance in off-road
Yes, and it's way more reliable than the Land Rover.

@@valiblaj and also more reliable than Nissan.
@Vux no it isn't. The old one if you kitted it out was an offroad monster.. the new one is a lightweight I seen a vid of a Grand Vitara spank one offroad the only thing it beat the Suzuki on was ground clearance
@@valiblaj You beat me to it lol, can't believe there's so many people with more money than commonsense.
When the Defender has been in the garage for 6 weeks and nobody has a clue what is wrong with it the Duster will still be chugging merrily along😁
"It's something electric"
"Cannot duplicate the error"
Tyres are everything with off road, I'm seriously impressed at the duster performing like that on road tyres.
I once went offloading (muddy mountain forest roads) in an old vitara with good tyres, joined by a pajero(shogun) and a duster with BF Goodrich Tyres. The Duster did an amazing job.
I don't like the way it drives on tarmac, but otherwise, it's great.
I have a y260 Nissan patrol and yes tyres made a huge difference, in muddy terrain its everything
They're all-season tyres to be fair, so not really off-road, but better than a road tyre.
In Slovenia the mountain rescue teams use Dusters with off road tires. They just love them Dusters.
It really is all it's lacking to be a proper off-roader. A set of better tires.
Same in Romania. They're everywhere.
Same i Croatia
@@antoniobrnadic Pozdrav susjed. 🇸🇮🇭🇷
Iceland is full of Dacia Dusters
The little Duster against a Chelsea Tractor, the car you will never use or see off road. Really impressed with the Duster.
Despite being both a Land Rover owner and “fan boy” you really do have to give Dacia credit for building a very capable 4ish car. They really are far more capable off road, especially with decent tyres fitted, than people give them credit for
So damn agree with you ! Here in Serbia, you can find thousands of Dusters. That's mostly because we are bordering with Romania and , just like UK, Serbia is in a great relationship with Romania, when it comes to car selling/dealership.
and if you pay a little money as in 700 euro for a limited slip diff for the rear it would work even better!
@@vuckomrakic3760 we also used to sell the ARO new up until 2014 in Czech republic
drove a duster all around Iceland never let me down over some ridiculous terrain amazing little vehicle.
I will do this this summer hence why I’m watching this video lol
The Defender may have won on points (and so it should at the price) but had the Duster been fitted with equivalent off-road tyres the result would have been even closer. Personally, I think the Duster is incredible value for money and an accomplished off-road vehicle to boot... 👍
i do agree wholeheartedly they souls be fitted with like for like
And if it had the more powerful engine in the duster maibye it would had been even closer ☺️
Just admit it the dust doesn't stand a chance to defender tbh
@@perfectnkuna6533 no-one's saying the Duster would win, just impressed how close it was given the enormous price difference.
@@perfectnkuna6533 Just admit the cheap nugget on very chea road tires did everything the posh tractor did on AT tires, without really breaking a sweat
So the Duster with no aids and crappy street tires made it through everything the Defender went through with all of the aids and off-road tires, but it was a little bit slower. Can you do this same test again with the duster having off-road tires and the Defender in regular street tires? I'd love to see those results.
Or I don't know, maybe give them both the same kind of tires and test it? This was not a fair test, but the Duster was impressive.
The truth is though that most cars would make it. All a car needs is decent ground clearance, and then once you start adding things like 4 wheel drive and good tyres it becomes even easier. The difference is though that when it's your own car, you want to look after it, you don't want to just make it whilst absolutely knackering the engine, transmission and all the suspension components. That's why you pay more for a vehicle like a Defender, because it can also make it (just like any economy car could've made all the same challenges), but it has the capacity to do a lot more, so it's not torturing the car, but rather using it as intended. If you treated your Duster like this every day, it would be a very sorry sight after around 1 year and would be worth nothing.
The test was meh indeed, but get yourself some BFG on your duster and you ll be keeping up with G wagons.
ye but still Duster showed us it's possible @@alembic1105
This guy loves to rubbish the Duster. He sneers at it terribly in earlier videos.
@@alembic1105 I would recomend you to visit some shepperd camps in the Carpathian mountains to see how those shepperds use the Duster daily. What you just saw here is a stroll in a park for them. And,of course,loaded with one ton of cereals bags,milk,cheese,whatever,not empty. Last time i saw one there,i couldn't figure what brand or colour was untill it was washed the mud from it.
Impressive results for the Duster especially looking at the disadvantage in tires.
“No skills required just £84000” 😂😂
It’s 84,000 pounds Sterling £ not dollars. In dollars it’s probably more like a hundred thousand.

@@kagiv Or a rich daddy
@@leopoldbluesky true:(
If the duster was fitted with off road tires like the defender I wouldn’t be surprised if it would have performed even better!
BFG K02s!
Exactly !
yea yea. cause the double wishbone front suspension that gives more travel, specially designed air springs for more travel, greater angles and ground clearence, two locking diffs with low range and the best off road traction control on the market are not enough lool. Im sure tires were the deciding factor
@@DaciaProject absolute exactly.
@@loukasantoniou8054 this car is amazing.
I am proud for Dacia Duster as it is made in Romania my native country . At that price Dacia won by far in my opinion . Dacia has a number of models very popular in Romania and Europe as well being priced very affordable . Their pick up version is a huge success, too bad they stopped producing those models , my brother has one and at 300.000 km diesel is still priced as when he purchased it at around 7000 dollars almost 15 years ago . Amazing cars . Check also Dacia Logan , Dacia Sandero and Doker . Dacia was the name of my country 2000+ years ago and the Roman Empire had to wage 2 wars with huge armies to conquer Dacia . Among all models I think Dacia probably sell 1,000,000 units every year , I sure hope so . Bravo Romania !
Hmmmm only conquered by the Roman empire?
Austro Hungarians, Ottomans, Russians, Germans.
Ref the test, completely non comparable vehicles in this test.
@@mattjames4608 The Romanian Country, Moldova and Transylvania were never totally conquered; The Austro-Hungarian Empire only held Transylvania under their rule, Moldova was never conquered by anyone and the Romanian Country (the south part of today's Romania) was briefly occupied and always bounced back from the Turks (dark ages) and the Germans (WW2). Dobrogea, where I'm from, was always a Greek bastion until the Ottoman Empire occupied it and lost it after the First World War, when we got to unite under a single flag with the help of the French army and general Berthelot.
Sir duster is best SUV but in India we are still driving the old variant and that's why sell is down
Te pup
Respect from greece mate. Dusters sold like hotcakes here
The Dacia Duster equipped with standard tyres performed as good as the Defender "in dry conditions " so to me the winner is the Duster hands down.
For wet conditions keep in mind that dacia is almost one tone lighter
I'm a Land Rover nut but have a Duster 4x4 as my daily and it's absolutely brilliant.....I thoroughly enjoyed that video!
Do you have the duster for when land rover is in getting repaired??
is it an orange one?
@@rodolfoptx right just a money pit
As many have said, the Duster with proper off road tyres would've been more interesting. But I would like to see Duster with offroad tyres vs Defender with summer street tyres. Then it would've been more interesting (and close)!
99% of those defenders will never need off-road tyres. The people buying them won't be able to spell off road near mind go there
@@terrydelahunt842 true.. but you will need deep pockets and mechanic skills to keep the Defender going in future👍
@@G-Cam1 yep. Wouldn't be for me at all even if I could afford it!
@@terrydelahunt842 we had Landies (every kind) for 2 decades.. i built a workshop.. put in a ramp.. spent lots of time and ££. Fixing them..
We have gone fully EV.. the workshop has not seen an modern vehicle (EV) in the last 4 years😂.
I loved the Landies..
I have no Landie now...
Just more money and time for other things🤣🤣👍
@@terrydelahunt842 The tyres had little to do with the results on this very easy course, nether of these vehicles would be used by serious off roaders, the modern defender is to expensive with to much to go wrong and for the price of the Duster you could get an old 90 defender that would put both to shame.
Defender is the sort of car you dream of owning. Duster is the sort of car you end up buying. Great value for money
You forgot to add in that the Defender would be in the garage for most of the time having all this tech repaired....... Got a Duster, best car I ever owned!
The defender is gonna be 22k pounds in a few years and 10 k repairs every year after that .
The duster can be repaired with the price of the defender’s wheels….
I routinely see older RRs getting scrapped simply because the electronics problems write them off. For a Pretender trying to claim to be the most off-road capable from the brand, that's a major issue. A fault with a door handle on the Pretender could leave the vehicle stranded and unable to start, if it caused network issues. Hardly something you could trust in extreme locations unless you were a diagnostic expert with a full kit in the boot.
The Defender will cost far more especially once out of warranty, the one I have for work has had so many electronic faults in its first year God knows how it’s gonna last five years to hopefully be replaced with a Grenadier or a Toyota.
@@gilbert7794 So far I am in no way regretting buying a 2015 Defender prior to them stopping building them! Sad to see them going this way.
@BINAYA KASTHAKAR You speak truth! £30-40k is sensible for a 4x4 going to be used roughly off-road. Beyond that it's a play toy for rich folk.
I still can't believe the price of them, £84K...they certainly don't look £84K!
Dacia performs very well considering his price against defender 🔥❤️
and it didnt even had off rod tyres
@@gamingbigfilipp even sometimes Dacia can perform well against Stratos.
So actually the duster is a champ!!
Gj great test!
Duster is a real off road!
Any particular reason for driving up the hill in the first test using only 2WD in the Duster (you did say it coud use 4WD)? That said, the Duster was only narrowly beaten into 2nd place. Also consider that the Duster was on 'All Season' road tyres whereas the Defender had off-road tyres. Hardly fair to the Duster.
Very entertaining. Obscene price rules out the Land Rover, for its price the the Dacia is winner for me as its the only one that is a reasonable price & better reliability record
Is incredible how the Duster is able to handle all that off-roading.
Well said. I hope that Dacia never change the breakover angles or mess around with approach or departure angles like some manufacturers have.
As I own a 4 wheel drive duster I would say it wins hands down on value for money and it’s off road performance. Great car at a great price and so much fun to drive👍👌
As cool and capable as the Defender is I struggle to accept its really worth over £80k! That said you cant get hold of them new so plenty of people seem to think they are. The Duster went everywhere the Defender did though for 60k less!
Duster All terrain tyres v Land Rover proper off road tyres? The Most important thing on any off road test is the tyres. Id like to see the Duster with proper off roads. Not a fair test in any way actually then. Duster kills it.
The new defender needs every advantage it can get. A Russian channel that tests them all spanked one with an old 2008 Grand Vitara both were on Avon AX7 and it wasn't just a slight beating, the Grand Vitara embarrassed it.
Always love these off-road races! Keep them coming carwow!

@@bigduphusaj162 half offroad and half slick.
"No skill required... just £84,000.00" hahaha best line so far.
As others have said, when you consider the price of the Duster and the fact that it had road biased tyres, I’d say that was very impressive! I know which wins on the value stakes 🤔
8:41 4WD was not active, you can figure it out just by watching the rear wheels. Maybe the driver forgot to activate it and let the car on 2WD mode or maybe it was intentional.
Nicely pointed out indeed, running on 2wd uphill and with all-seasons road tires is a major handicap that proves that "the little engine that could" rises up to the challenge and accomplishes the task.
Honestly the Dacia is really impressive, between the two the Dacia is the obvious winner for me, you can near enough 4 of them for the price of that Defender and that sounds like fun days with a couple friends or buy one and use the remaining 60k to run it forever
But I wouldn’t want a duster, let alone 4 of them. For the people buying an £85000 defender money won’t be that much of an issue.

I’d have the Duster all day long over the Land Rover. All those electronics required for it to do well combined with their reliability track record means it will just be an expensive paper weight. Watch the TFL series where they had to go through 3 Defenders just to do their testing.
Yes, Duster is much more reliable
Having Duster with offroad tyres could show its real potential.
For about 3000 euros, in Romania, you can turn your Duster into Mudster, that is, offroad tires, a higher suspension and some other mods. They look great and perform great offroad.

It's unbelievable how a much cheaper car can do pretty much the same thing as the Defender

Amazing !!! that helped me to cancel my DefenderX order and buy 2 Duster and still have some money left. I'll use that for the Holidays. Thanks for the informative video

@@1catchem yeah. No joke mate have you ever seen a newer 4x4 have to tow an older one out of a drama situation? Neither have I. All I see now is the older lighter 4x4s getting further down Launch ramp or further down the beach or further down the estuary to launch and retrieve. I drew the line when my rangey vogue needed towed out by vehicles that cost a few grand. Then I noticed a pattern in what they used as boat yard mules and rescue vehicles.. and the staff car park. Nothing but Japanese 4x4s not even new ones. Same as the mines in Australia they use kitted out Landcruisers for the heaviest duty work and Grand Vitaras for the lighter duty work and when they swapped the Grand Vitaras for Rangers around about 2014-1015 the Fords lasted about a 5th of the duty time as the Suzuki and Toyota. Brands like Land Rover and the usual German manufacturers just DO NOT take part In such difficult work, they wouldn't dare even be put forward for consideration, they make police cars and that's the full truth right there. New defender the only thing it got right was the ground clearance.. everything else is abysmal compared to a £3k 20yr old Japanese 4x4.
Love it, as a long time Military Off Road Driving Instructor (30+yrs) and equally long term Land Rover enthusiast, That little Dacia was excellent and I would be far more inclined to Off Road that than an 84k Land Rover, that said, I have and on the LR testing facility which is extreme.
Few Off road situations require the ability of the Land rover (which is the best.....with a knowledgeable driver).
Good boots on the Dacia and a knowledgeable driver would see the Dacia going almost anywhere for a keckmof a lot less money, including maint. and longevity.
I like how the approach angle of the Defender is 40 degrees one minute and 38 degrees the next. Great reporting.
dont worry about the 1yr wait for the landrover as once you have it , it will break instantly and you will have another long wait..
The Duster should get an extra 61,610 points. 1 point for every pound saved.
I do own a Duster and it's a fantastic car. Cheap, easy to repair and I've never get stuck in mud or snow, even on mountain off roads. Great value for money.
The Duster won our hearts!
I would be interested to see how the Duster would perform with off road tires too.
th-cam.com/video/DT5uCDw8MsM/w-d-xo.html ENJOY!
I love the fact thet the duster gives this expensive behemoth a run for it’s money!
Such a cheep car will actually be the best off-road choice to the “average” buyer.
The Dacia actually went everywhere the Land Rover did.
The new Defender is the best Discovery that Land Rover have made so far :)
As a duster owner, I think they're great 👍🏻
Dacia have to be admired for making such a good all round capable car for the price. I would seriously consider owning one without a doubt. Those 1.5 DCI are a hardy little unit and will undoubtedly be the far more reliable and durable car in the long term.
That was a great challenge and a fantastic video, thank you - I do love car reviews for 'normal' cars - so much motor journalism is about cars the price of houses, nice to see a bit of reality creep in!

Defender had off road tyres, the Duster had normal street tyres. Makes a huge difference. It also seems as if the driver of the Duster never had the 4x4 locked, only normal 4x4. I think there should be a rematch. AT Tyres for the Duster, 4x4 locked all the time. I suspect a different result just might happen...
How about doing a repair comparison. How long each vehicle spends in the dealers over the next 3 years followed by cost of repairs out of warranty. Pretty much a foregone conclusion that the duster would win that hands down, more reliable and cheaper to fix, which from past history isn't very often, unlike the land rover which spends its life in the dealers/workshop.
Love my 4x2 duster bifuel. It is saving me a fortune in fuel costs and by putting a set of all weather tyres will get me through anything I’d throw at it. Compared to this video anyway! Great value for money!
I have the same as you in Iron Blue. Bought mine in October 2021 and am very happy with it. Since the fuel price hike I have been even happier (86 cts/ litre for LPG here whilst Unleaded is easily more than €2 per litre!). Being in mountainous Auvergne I’ve gone for a twin set of wheels (Standard Continental Eco-Contacts for the Summer and reinforced Goodyear Ultra Grip + for the Winter. Bonne route!
i have owned Land rover Defender, Jeep Rubicon, Toyota Prado and my latest car is a 4X4 Duster. By far Duster is the best i have driven offroad. All cars had offroad setu. Duster is light and cheap. Less parts tend to be broken.
U did not drive off-road… rubicon, defender vs duster is not comparable… ducia is not an off road car omg omg
Very impressed with the Duster - especially as its tyres were inferior to the Land Rover's for the conditions of the test. Heavy vehicles need more technology because they're far more likely to get stuck. It would be interesting to see a test, with the same tyres on both vehicles, on soft, boggy ground.
It would be nice to see the Defender vs Discovery vs Range Rover Sport in this course and see which is the best as they could all be used for off road & daily basis.
Get some good off road tyres on the Dacia and it'll be uncomfortably close for the Defender. The Duster really is a cracking little car 💪.
Always love these off-road races

Meiko992, hope Carwow uploaded a drag race between Lancer Rally Car and a Duster.
Maybe would have been better (and fair) to have both cars same tires. On such a terrains, the tires can make huge differences.
I honestly liked this video a lot.
The mechanical tech difference betwen them is enormous, but still were rounding up the same results.
Both cars wonderful.
The Duster is really a great car for its price, it deserves its high selling
The Dacia Duster is worth buying! It's a good family SUV and a good off-roader! It's a insane SUV! I would love to buy a Dacia Duster!

I think I fell in love with the duster a little bit during this video! What a little beast for the price.
There should have been one final test, 10 rounds of the entire course. The reliably unreliable landrover would have broken down and only cost a few thousand to repair but the duster would have just done it without any mechanical or electronic trickery melt downs. I am a lifelong landy fan but tbf if that duster was just better looking inside and out, i would be tempted.

Hello from Romania 🇷🇴

Another video with the Duster. I think Matt is beginning to like the car. What's not to like about it? Best buy I 've ever made.
The Duster has more in common with an old Defender than the new Defender. In fact the power and torque figures are within 10hp/nm of the TDI engines found in most Defenders from the 90s
I love the look of the Defender, and if money was no object, it would be my first choice. But the Duster is amazing value for money, and would suit all but the extreme off road enthusiasts, especially with off road tyres fitted. And an ideal school run car, as it is smaller on the road than a Defender.
And using less fuel too
Can have three Dusters for the price of that Defender. Can use two for off roading, use one to pull the other out if needed, and keep one nice and clean for pottering about in on road.
The change left over could be used for a nice holiday - Simples 😊
Both great cars and and entertaining review, the Dacia Duster 4x4 has hill hold assist which may have helped with the up hill race..
Yes. Hillclimb race could've been good also.
The Duster is impressive for his price. With decent steel under trays do protect it and a bit hight springs that car will do very well
When you go off road especially on that kind of terrain speeding up is pointless and irrelevant!
The Duster is the winner for me,
It does pretty much everything without a fuss, and if it had proper off road tyres it would have been more impressive!
defender has so much technology should have done much better in the last challenge and Duster was impressive with this tires . offroad is about fun too so Duster sure wins
Great video. The Defender is 4 x the price, but is it really 4x as good?
What vid were you watching? 🤣
An owner of a Defender had an air shock go bad and it was not covered under warranty. Price: $2,700 for the part - not including labor. The Duster is one you can grow to love while the Defender could be the one to despise as it becomes an expensive toy.
My honest opinion is that Duster has performed well, though its smaller than Giant Defender with 3.0L.
Wow... soon you will get to be an experienced Duster driver and discover the ESP OFF function/button to avoid loosing engine power ;) - also now imagine an upgraded Duster :)
Love the way you put expensive vs cheap car challenges
Well done @carwow
Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)🥳❤️😁❤️😎❤️😋
Hisham80, this drag race always 100 percent epic.
Go duster. Great car 👍🇬🇧
I'm sure the Defender would (and for the price, should) win but this test is like me wearing flip-flops in a race with Usain Bolt ! As all the comments say it's difficult to compare without like for like tyres but the Duster is very capable for the price. Well done Dacia 👍
The Duster is the perfect vehicle for your average farmer and there are few who own them around my way - unsurprisingly, not one has a modern Land Rover.
Mat you and Yianni are my favourite car reviewers and drag racers ever and I love you both so much!
100 percent agree man.
What say you he reviews Yianni's new range... To make it like the lambos review

Another 2 points to the Dacia because it is more reliable than the Defender. It's cheaper and can do what a Defender can. That's another 2 points.
and the defender had proper off road tyres on it, comparted to all weather on the duster, it wasnt a fair match up at all but the duster still did bloody well. clearly a very good car. look at how much more money you would needf to own the land rover
The Duster did remarkably well, and almost certainly the more reliable vehicle.
Not much effort needed😂
8:11 "no skills required, just 84K pounds" 🤣how true is that
Should've made it a bit more of a comparison by fitting identical tyres to both, Duster was already at a disadvantage
