- The Dacia Duster has always been a hit with buyers thanks to its mix of rugged off-roader style at a bargain-basement price. The new version aims to provide the same, but with fewer compromises in areas like quality and comfort. We’d say it has that brief nailed.

Had my duster 5 years & 50,000 miles & apart from a service every year i have not had to spend a penny on it. Great cheap car leaves me more to spend on motorcycles. 4WD is great as the worst snow in the UK has never stopped it yet. Hope to get another 10 years out of it...thats value for money. Cheers.
My thoughts exactly. All I want from a car is it to be practical and reliable. I have my motorbike for fun 🏍
I only had mine for a year and only lost €200 on it com trade in.
You have to pay for fuel though...
That or the car is economical as hell,. which would be nice lol!
Bring Dacia to America! I would totally buy a Duster, really loved them whilst I was in France
It's in America, in the South! Badged as Renault in Latin countries, I hope they aren't ripped off
Got the SE 20 limited edition in September great and 48.6 with the petrol 1.3. Love it.
Some people just need a basic transport. No soft plastics on the dash (how many touched it since it left the dealer?) or felt lined door bin. Here in the US, a Ford Harley Davidson edition pick up costs $125,000.00. Yes there are cheaper models, it is still expensive for contractor.
I for one liked the butchier styling of the past gen.
I was looking very forward to getting one of these, however it sadly has no automatic transmission model available :(
I find that rather strange, as the previous model has it. Why no automatic version in the newer model?
MrWebPleb it has automatic gearbox in Romania
You need to wait a bit. They have only just started shipping here (UK) but other models WILL arrive in time.
Just bought a nice clean 2018 duster good condition with 42k miles. I'm going to give it back. It's ride is fine and it's good around town and on country roads, but on a dual carriage or motorway, it's almost impossible to get up to 70 mph, so it's not very safe for overtaking. Basically it's gutless above 65. Also, I hate the gearbox. It has six gears, but you are constantly changing gear, as the gears have a very small rev range each. Basically its top speed is pathetic and you are constantly, I mean constantly working the gearbox. If you do a lot of dual carriageway or motorway driving, don't buy one.
Ok car, but no good for towing anything
Yep, with the 1.6 petrol. Try to do it with the 109 diesel engine or later on with the new diesel of 125hp.
Long story short... Its a cost effective piece of shit with a half-decent engine.
I see dacia I downvote.
☝️🤮🤮🤮
Wow it is much more attractive i must say great increase i approved✅
I have sold my BMW M240 and bought one and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, great to drive, lots of kit and I actually think it looks great. Very impressed
Really like this car, great value for money.
Indeed
Dad's just bought one of these, also in gold today, VERY NICE.
R MCK it's orange
I am seeing the Land-Rover Disvery design in it well again brilliant job on the Duster🌞
If you want to steal
You'd better do it from one of the best
Dacia lunched this in 2006, way before Land Rover

Superb Tough reliable car, with good looks and a superb 4x4 drive train. The best engine is the 1,2 TCe 125
DACIA Duster... is Nr..1 Europa..
Price.
Go Romania!
Comantariu răutăcios !!!! Duster este o mașină ok la bani pe care îi dai și cea ce primești în schimb !!! Din cate am văzut și voi englezi cumpărați Dacia !!!!! Va. cam trecut boala !!!!!!! Știi tu care ,, FRUSTRAREA ,, !!!!!
The manufacturer is Renault.
@@TheKrysis Well it's not called Renault Duster is it?
@@cosmin1518 Actually it is lol
@@TheKrysis the one in the video my dude
Loved the review!
Love the car...
Just got a new Sandero and have been really impressed, will definitely look at a Duster in future.
paul gilson same here. They are easy to drive
~ Well done Autotrader for a balanced review, and really exceptional photography and film work .. What gorgeous photos of what is already an iconic little SUV car .. I love mine, and will be getting a Desert Orange top of the range model next week .. The economy I am getting (mpg) is stunning .. :-)
Go to France and you see loads of these, they can’t be bad at all
Pete Davis same in finland i see about 2-4 everyday
Same in Germany! Do you need a better recommendation?
Between 1:51 and 3:20 he could have been describing a rolls-royce silver-shadow. Bar the 115hp 1.6 - the power to weight ratio is actually better!
The greatest car in the history of the world.
Infinite Don’t ask silly questions.
Lmfao
anasim next to the trabant !
1.6 petrol 4x4 nice ride, great fuel economy - 6.5l/100km out of town. What's more to wish?
Rirozaj me 3000 diesel x5 consumes 6l/100 at 120 ffs
Comically slow yet when I test drived it I cruised past most drivers except undertaking Audi drivers... I think you'll fine it just reasonably powered for the average driver...
A lot of car for the money
I got a bran new one with the 1.5 diesel .. great car for the money and great spec. Next probably will also get a duster
Dacia seems to be doing a Skoda. Back in the 80s they were the sick joke of the car world, look at them now. Lets just hope that Dacia dont lose sight of the value for money aspect, as Skoda has. How much is a Kodiak compared to the Duster!
adrian burt still a joke.
adrian burt About ten grand I think !
Nice car but disappointing that the only petrol engine available at UK launch is the dated 1.6 Sce. Best to hold on until 2019 when Renault/Dacia should be offering their new 1.3 TCe petrol engine as an option.
The duster is hands down the best budget suv on the planet. Ive driven the new one and also the 2017 model. Drove 4x2 models on mountains, narrows passes, hills pretty much everywhere, it always felt like a 4x4 although it was a 4x2 model. Can imagine the 4x4 model. Top stuff... i even driven it in off roads in Italy spain... amazed and amazed my fellow passengers. Top car well done dacia.
I completely agree. My Mk1 I bought two years ago in March 2017 has done 38,000 miles. I've just traded it in for a Mk2 Prestige model just one six weeks ago, which I'm so delighted with. I couldn't believe how amazing the improvements are .. What a fabulously built car this is .. I've watched the build videos on TH-cam many times .. So so impressed ..
@@TheAxeman33 Are differences big from Mk1 to Mk2? Thank you
Altin Alihajdari - Hello .. the Mk2 is far better. The steering is more precise and the cabin noise is far quieter due to the thicker windscreen glass. There is a huge improvement in my opinion. I drove 38,000 miles in my Mk1, I’ve done 20,000 miles in my Mk2 from brand new ...
@@TheAxeman33 Thank you for thr response. I am planing to buy MK2. I have Dacia Sandero Stepway 2016 Dci Prestige 42.000 km. Thank you
@@altini7 did you buy it yet?
I'm guessing this joker doesn't understand how engines work. If you rev it harder it will go faster. Peak torque at 4000 rpm and peak bhp at 5500 rpm. The car shifts if you use the revs and gears right.
Bravo DACIA Duster
The 130 Tce petrol is the one get .
Looked at once of these today and its way better looking and quality than the old one. I liked it.
Did you buy it?
Great review and camera work, not sure on that colour
Robert Lloyd I like it tbh
Robert Lloyd
It looks better in person
Trust me
Superb car...
Price...
Whats the length in the back with the seats down
nice review
i want to buy but no money...😢😢😢
Aww, sorry to hear that. Get a better job, and save. Or you can get it on finance...and at that price, it isnt that much of a commitment.
But do you really need it?
👍
Here its sold as Renault duster...
RoOs VS where...?
India
Build quality is different here it is not the same car lol
Also in South Africa, why? Because it is a Renault al the way out...
Well, Dacia has always been "Renault" as from its beginning and until its purchase by Renault it always produced Renault licensed or based cars. The thing that Dacia brought to Renault was an already established brand known for decent quality for a low price, just the thing they wanted without having to spend a lot of money on a new one, that could fail and would be pricier because it would have to recoup all the marketing money at the start.
DO THEY MAKE AN AUTOMATIC ..???
No
Yes, Easy-R transmission, they will start shipping them out to very soon.
The thing is,, are these Dacia Dusters like any other Renault, absolutely awful to work on, such as changing bulbs?
Number plate probably as expensive as the car
Too slow
graeme taylor not made for speed
does more than the legal speed limit with ease
100 mph and still can go faster easily. Slow? Checked myself on hw.
no central console/arm rest?? ewwwwwww
that is not a proper armrest
=))))))))))))
pastreaz-o pt maica-ta
Conversatia asta , ma face mandru ca sunt roman 😂😂😂
exact - tot ce mi-am dorit a fost sa aiba in plm o consola centrala calumea unde sa iti pui cotul ca la masinile normale - suntem in 2018 in plm si nu ar costa prea mult + ca ar fi si mai apreciata. in fine
It's a great car, very nice looking and reliable! Just interior is very ugly.
You could buy more than 10 dusters or 1 Range Rover... I’ll stick with my rangey thanks
George Boy you fucking stupid boy?Are you comparing a 80.000 pounds suv with a 12.000 suv?How ignorant can you be?LOL
Berceanu Daniel am I stupid... no I'm doing ok, them dacia thing are made up of spare parts from Renault
George Boy you are so damn stupid.You are comparing an 80k car with a 12 k car.Yes you are stupid
The Range Rover is obviously better than the Dacia but you have to ask yourself is the 10x price justified? And the answer is a resounding no. I thought one of the primary functions of laisseze-faire capitalism is supposed to lower prices of products and make them more affordable not have them increasing year after year, and new cars are nothing if not outrageously overpriced. At least with Dacia you know you're not getting ripped off.
Competition should always be encouraged which is why I don't understand Dacia haters.
The Dacia will probably be more reliable.
If you drive Dacia in the UK, people call you a looser and for that reason I'm not going to buy it.
solardanilew well thats your loss we are in 2018 and you are bothered what people perceive of you because of the car you drive..
Asim Iqbal yes, you're correct, but unfortunately we sometimes feel pressured by other people's opinions
solardanilew its nothing personal aimed at you im just saying if people are stopping you from what you like then go for it I myself would not judge you
I know a company manager with a Porsche and a Dacia and he comes to the office sometimes with the Duster as well , so probably not the car is the problem but your self respect you have to think you are equal to everybody and don't see yourself as a small little man . Good luck and God bless!
I got a Dacia Sandero Stepway (now I am thinking to change that with a Duster) and nobody calls me a loser actually they are really impressed by the car. Are you sure others call you a loser and is not you doing that? Just saying.
