I've got an older Duster and love it! - honest car, you get what you pay for. It does irritate me that all reviews start by scratching the interior plastic. Who in the real world cares about that? if you want leather, pay an extra £60k !
Older Dusters had leather option...we have one at work with 1.5 diesel 4x4 and leather seats...you probably took the cheap version..top spec ones had leather
Same. I dont care at all.
Exactly. Most people and so called car reviewers completely miss the whole point of a particular type of car. How many people bought a Lotus Elise when
It was on sale and then optioned them up with carpets, leather, fancy pants stereos etc completely missing the point that it was supposed to be a very basic LIGHT! sports car and NOT a Porsche. 🙄
Sensible pricing, practical and well put together. What’s not to like. In the age of £30,000 superminis this will do very well. Makes you wonder if other manufacturers are ripping us off a bit. Nice presentation as usual.
What’s not to like? Being an SUV comes to mind. Just get a Sandero and you’ll save big on petrol and have a much better driving experience.
@@_JotaroKujo_Honestly after You will drive SUV it is hard to go back to regular flar car. You feel weird on this low old fashioned mashines.
@@Andy-kp6miyup , driving a suv in a corner could learn how to fly în a tree. There are still a lot of people that want to be economic and chose a regular car or want to feel a spor car not a big whale😅
@@_JotaroKujo_ I have a 2023 top spec Duster, I upgraded from a 2010 Focus , and the SUV is much much better imo
@@Andy-kp6miyou talk gibberis. I daily drive a Mazda MX5 and the sitting position is as low as it can get and the car feels amazing to sit in and nippy to drive. Driving an SUV after a low riding car feels boring and sluggish...
oohh well. I never thought that I would ever be interested as well as watch a full review of a Dacia . Well done Dacia and Renault group. This is what actually people need..
There are shades of Volvo XC40 in the external looks, if the pricing remains competitive, this will sell like hot cakes.
The Jogger is a copycat of the Volvo too
@@anemeth9281only on the tail lights
Looks great, and Dacia should be congratulated in bringing this to market. In the real world, many people will go for this.
Are you mad?
Regardless of the price, the Duster looks very good. As someone has already mentioned, i think car companies are ripping people off. People will talk about tech, a lot of which is unnecessary. Well done Dacia (Renault) !!
There is lots not to like, under-dimensioned engines for one, the fact that in 2024 you cannot have both an automatic transmission and four wheel drive is another.
@@victortodoran1828 how many people need 4-wheel-drive? I drove in the snow in Scotland with a FWD car and with winter tyres - no problem at all. What the hell are you going to be doing more than that?
@@todorkolev7565they need the features to feel good , not use
I mean most 4x4 never leave the city roads
I bought a new Dacia Stepway in 2013, I got a lot of stick for buying a car assembled in Romania, with a French connection. I still have that car, runs like a dream, and with a decent amount of room for a German Shepherd. I will be buying the new Duster soon.
Dacia is fully made in Romania;It's not only assembled. It's our national car;we used to have other brands of cars as well but they aren't produced anymore.
@@Ge0rGi. cool story
Looks better than a bmw x1 for a fraction of the price.
The plastic armrest you showed is for the Journey version. The other premium version, called Extreme, will have an armrest in synthetic leather, the same material used on the seats. This material is easy to wash. Also, the blue parts of the dashboard in the Journey version will be grey and bronze in the Extreme version. The Extreme version will also have special rubber mats. The model you're showing from the outside is the Extreme version, while the interior you're showing is from the Journey version. Great review otherwise, really appreciated it. I remember the one you did for the previous Duster in its LPG version, it was great.
This seat and armrest material is indeed a kind of neoprene, easy to clean
Like all reviews need to stop obsessing about "hard scratchy plastics " they clean a darn sight easier
Glad Dacia have stuck with petrol engines for the Duster rather than going completely electric. I'd be interested in the 4x4 version. I currently have a Dacia Journey 1.3 after 21 years of having Audis, and my only regret is that I didn't get the 4x4. It's a great car for the price.
If you like an electric car from Dacia you can buy a Dacia Spring, but is not an SUV. So you have options.
Thank god its not like a Range Rover - the Duster is way cheaper, more reliable , better customer service, not stolen every 10 seconds and not a fortune to insure.
If it s true that it has 10 years warranty now then it s a good deal
@@qwertyqwerty-zi6dr Dacia is up to 5 years 60,000 miles on extended warranty but to be honest they are so reliable I dont worry about it. So many Logan, Duster, Sandero taxi's with over 1,000,000 + miles on them. JLR would do anything for that reliabiity record.....
This could just be my next car. The times that a Dacia was a cheap looking car, are far behind us. This is just the car that you need when your financial position does not allow to spend more. Beautiful looks, nice interieur, and as said: if the price will be at Dacia level, this Duster could become one of the best selling cars in Europe! ❤️
I think many people buying this would be in the financial position to spend much more.
It's the poor people who lease overly expensive cars and spend all their lives paying them off!
Dacia level? you pay for the tech that you could buy with no less than 60k, so skip Volvo and fiat.
This is how I wanted the new generation land rover defender to be. Instead of a 60-100k car
Yes, it is interesting that the price of the original Land Rover Series 1 adjusted for inflation is close to the price of the Duster now. But Land Rover walked away from farmers and other traditional users in pursuit of the Chelsea set years ago.
I'm reading the comments and can.t express what I feel. All I can say is, thank you !
You have no ideea of the amount of work and efort we put into this.
We make every car, like it was ours.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication in making Dacia cars! 💙💛❤️
God bless you all! 🙏
Brilliant. £17,500 for the admittedly base spec version. Looks great, nice interior, practical and the very essence of that “ beat the system “
mantra.
All other SUV makers , ( apart from MG), hang your heads in shame .
A £38,000 Vauxhall corse EV, or this ?!
I wish it every success!
17.500 Euros, that's about £15.000 for the basic. A well equipped model could be around £20.000 in the UK, crazy
@@ag.3820 , it will start from under €20.000 euros, that means around £17.500 pounds. So no, there won't be any version costing £15.000.
Why on earth would you mention an MG. Don’t you consider where these are built?
It is more likely for the top spec version to be around 27000 €, to be fair. Still, that's a top spec car, not bad at all.
This will become a bestseller. I hope. I was never a Dacia fan but I really consider a top-spec purchase soon. I can't believe Dacia are doing a tiny gear shifter (Automatic) as any car in 2023 should have instead of a long shifter which looks ugly. Take notes, other car manufacturers!
Love the exterior design looks like the car class higher, and it looks like it could be electric ;)
No diesel option is disappointing …a nice 4x4 with a 2.0 diesel rated at around 180/200 bhp would of been nice especially for towing
Great to see LPG back on the menu
Well done to Dacia / Renault for listening
8:50 The TCe 100 with LPG is a 3 cylinder unit.
I like the new design even better than his more expensive rivels. looks very fresh
8:43 The bi-fuel 100hp engine has 3 cylinders. And the one available in 4x4 and the 2x4 is now a 1.2 petrol engine, also a 3 cylinder. The only one with 4 cylinders is the hybrid 1.6 one.
The only thing in common with the current 130bhp engine is the name: TCe 130.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really hope that this duster will be sold in my country. I have used 2015 duster and I'm content with the reliability and durability. The handling may not be the greatest but still pretty good for SUV, plus Comfy suspension makes long drive feels like breeze.
If they made a Dacia Logan with an exterior and interior this good and a diesel option, it would be insane.
Except for the diesel
The Jogger?
@@mitchreeves1 Yes and no, because the Jogger is more of a station wagon than a sedan :/
@@rafaelcarneiro8957 I didn't know people wanted sedans still these days. Takes up more space on the road than a hatch but less practical.
@@shroomyesc we're here, and maybe as a minority,
I'd love to get a compact sedan. I'm really not into SUVs and i will need a bit of extra space in the trunk (for travelling, the future kid's stuff, etc).
A bit disappointing you didn't include not even one shot with the back of the car, which I think it's the best looking part. There were just a couple of close-ups with the tail lights.

As always, a cracking review !
Saw the update version the other day, much more a today’s look.
Am on my 3rd Dacia, 2nd Duster and cannot wait to try out the new Duster out. Well Done !!!
When is it coming out
Excellent presentation . Well done.
does it have radar assisted radar cruise?
Nice and comprenhensive review. Thank you and keep up the good work!
A bit of correction though.
8:25, the TCe 130 is not the same as in the old version of the Duster. That one was 1.33, 4 cylinders, the new one is 1.2, 3 cylinders (the same one as in Renault AustralE E-tech full Hybrid 200 where is paired with a 68 BHP electric motor).
It remains to be assessed how this small 3 cylinders engines will behave off-road.
You compared the interior to a Range Rover... if it was the price would be at least 400% higher, the depreciation would be massive and the reliability would take a kick. In fact, the money lost on day one of a range Rover purchase would probably buy you a new one of these?
beautiful clean design
Yay!No touch screen climate controls.Knobs and switches are the way to go.
Great video! Just one question, I am not sure if I understood correctly. Would you be able to finally get a Duster that is both 4WD and has an automatic gearbox?
Exactly what keeps it off my shopping list all the time. No automatic with 4wd =no buy
I’ll
Get mine in september. 27300 eur with tax (extreme edition) can’t w8
07:04 which video is this from? I’d love to watch something like this!
Affordable, practical, looks the business. Not stupidly priced. Does the job. This will be brilliant
I retire in a couple of years and this would be perfect for myself, my wife and our 2 dogs…more than comfortable enough for me and sturdy enough to cope with the abysmal, pot holed roads of the UK. Getting down to Cornwall from Staffordshire in one of these for a holiday would be perfect…plenty of space and I don’t care about it not having heaps of electronic gizmos as I’ve had them before on previous cars and never used them.
The cabin looks really okay for a low cost car. Bit like the quality level of a Tesla cabin . And bonus…. Proper heater controls too ! Should sell very well.
Thanks, i hope to see a test drive report as well!
What i have noticed is that a lot of new cars not working due to an electrical fault thus stopping the car from moving, 4 of my colleagues had the new cars they bought at the dealership garage within 3-12 weeks, which is unacceptable and all 4 of them couldn't move as the car had electrical speedometer and handbrake.
If idiots want a new car full of electrics, then they can pay for it but cars should have a middle model and not forced to change where the main parts of the cars remain mechanical/analogue so that the owner can take the car to a garage etc
My new Dacia Step arrived in June 2024 which will have a some electrics and my weekend car will be a BMW M series 2 manual to have fun with only at the weekends sometimes and thats it. since people now have it all, they can't fully appreciate what made driving so fun back in the day.
Funny, Duster was from the original Chrysler corp. It was a light sedan with a V8. A "sleeper" Stellantis gets to use the name.
I hope we get the Peugeot E-208, etc. some day.
if only recent BMWs looked like this magnificent and practical Duster.
It's still impressive even for this price
A big step forward. Does the steering have reach adjustment in this new model?
It sure does😊
Dacia does everything right, it's impressive and a cheap breath of air for many modest customers
My friend working at Dacia told me they make 450 Dacia dusters a shift , for years , but the stock is always 0!
10:15 Check Electric System - is that the routine checking during ignition?
It is a pre-production car. Not everything works in it.
I feel like that patches of fabric to cover panels on the doors help with the whole "soft touch "
Not on sale yet?
Looks good for a Duster
Sadly no diesel. I'll have to keep my old one
The commercial version has a diesel 👍
@@Paulie44 I have the diesel 4x4. Brilliant car. Sadly not available in the new model
Same here, I'll keep driving my second generation diesal.
Why oh why do you car reviewers keep comparing the Duster to a Range Rover, Discovery, ????? You never compare a C4 to a Bentley do you? Ridiculous!
I have owned a 2018 4x4 duster from new.And can honestly say it has been a brilliant car on and off road .
Wow, looks really good! Finally, a Dacia that doesn't look like a fridge on wheels! :)))
9:04 ... Did you forget about Dacia Bigster ? The concept full electric Duster back a few years? Because this car borrowed many features and style of that vehicle concept, we can expect it to be even better in the future, basically testing all the electric stuff on the Dacia Duster 3 Hybrid, so they can start at full production when the battery and electronic market stabilises and it is cheaper to produce BEVs in general.
Certainly interested. I hope there will be a 4WD option without all the touch screen bling - just a basic tool for hauling dogs and the odd lost sheep!
Don't forget the school run 😂😂😂
I actually really like the look of this! 😮
Good looking car.
amazing!!!! bravoooo Romania!!!!!
These are rental specials and 4x4 as well its actually cheapest capable car you can rent around Europe and ME. Actually I grew to like them, even in rentals they feel quite good.
Automatic available??
would like to see a comparison between an MG HS and the Duster, especially seeing the discounts available of 16% on the HS, comfort, economy running cost ETC
looks great only tail lights can be better
The blue interior on the journey will take some time getting used to but such a beautiful design 🎉
Hopefully the interior is a step up from the Jogger. That car is like stepping back in time. This will sel very well regardless
Slow people shouldn't be allowed to comment online.
The new steering wheel @1:07 looks even more like one from a Lada Niva... Why the big upper part though?!!!
To be able to see the dash.
@@sebastianstoica578 have you seen a recent Peugeot? You can actually see the dash through a 10x10 cm square..
@@drazman9 , well actually no. You are meant to see the dash over the steering wheel in modern Peugeot, not through it.
Test drive??
I think Stellantis will do quite well with the shift to BEVs. Better quality than the Chinese designed cars. 208 I read on here is the best selling car in Europe.
Since 2014, Dacia cars have been manufactured in Spain by Renault. Before that, they were manufactured in Romania, giving the brand its name. Nice!
No Dacia plant exists in Spain. There is one plant in RO, 2 in Morocco and one in China for Spring. Usually, the higher models and trims are produced in RO.
Great review! Such a shame diesel has been dropped. I will have to look at alternatives once my PCP is up :-(
How can making two analog dials and one BW screen in the middle be cheaper in production than single color screen? That makes no sense.
Without a diesel engince option I lost interest in getting this car.
Me too, although diesel still available in commercial version 👍
Best looking one yet. How are they on reliability?
Why the fascination with soft touch plastics on the dashboard ,who goes around feeling a dashboard when driving , and scratchy plastic dont scratch them problem solved
I was ready to buy it but i dissapointed cuz my dci 4x4 duster has more off road skills than the new one, 1.2 petrol engine with only 230 nm is terrible for off roading,also the front bumper it's not good for off roading, unfortunately my fav brand dissapointed me.
Get the Dacia Bigster in 2025 which will be the premium SUV from Dacia but also more expensive cause of the more powerful engines and more options.
But probably the car is not heavy, if it has 1500-1550kg than it s fine. But I would buy the bigster with the 200hp 1.8 engine
@@qwertyqwerty-zi6dr it shares the front part with the Duster 2024. Apparently it will start around 22k euro with the 145 HP engine, that is also on the Captur. The top model with 4x4 e-AWD, 1.8 atkinson engine that will do 200 HP will take the car over 30k euro.
Why no Diesel???
Its not a rangerover, we can guess that, its not broken down yet.
I might buy this one. Now that it is on the new undercarriage.
Dacia looks great but the pricing is now coming closer to main stream rivals.
which is why people will compare it to more main stream cars (like a Honda Jazz) ....... where the faults like driving dynamics and road holding will be critisised.
thats my only issue with Dacia.
I have had four Dacia's now (as thye have a loyal following of existing owners).
Had two Dusters and two sandero stepways.
Are they reliable ??
@@HS-sr9ww all four of them I have owned have been very reliable
Who in their right mind would compare a Duster with a Jazz?
@@BeetsPerSecond the price range is now quite close to
@@BeetsPerSecond here in the UK the top of the range duster is £21K and the bottom of the range Jazz is £26K.
A bit close on price
7:03: "The good news is, there is still going to be a four-wheel option"
Bruf, that's the whole fing reason for having an SUV and especially the Duster! When will this idocracy finally stop...
The hybrid needed to be a AWD with a rear motor
Should still be able to get a diesel
Tried to have a look on their website. Utterly baffling. I don't want an electronic or a hybrid. Can I duscover if they are going to do a petrol version? Nope. Just lots of glossy images and video clips zilch for clear info.
It's hard to knock them too much as they undeniably offer good value for money. The flip-side is that the are built to a price and offer zero feel-good factor. You pays your money...
You feel good when you look at it, looks great.
@@gicugigel3790 Looks are subjective. Very few people who could afford something better would choose one of these.
@@resnonverba137 yes, looks are subjective, but no one can say this car looks bad.
Alot of customers dont buy the cheaper Duster, but the fully loaded one, which costs as much as an suv from a higher rated brand.
Waiting for it in India
Great looking little car. If the price isnt crazy itll sell well. Acrually kinda want one
@@christga100 yes little. Its based of a renault clio and has a 1 litre engine.
The 100 bi fuel mpg works out at 36 mpg, that's very poor by todays standards. 3 cylinder engine should be doing at least 50 mpg, i get 50mpg out of my 5 series BMW 2 litre.
SHOW YOUR SOURCES OF MPG INFORMATION.
Well they said it can do 800 miles on 50L of LPG and 50L of petrol combined which works out 36mpg, the sources are mentioned dum dum.🤣🤣 @@HIOP0
that door armrest is a deal breaker. Affter driving last gen duster for a week my elbow was destroyed.
Safety score?
Well the new Duster XC40 will be a top seller for sure !!!!😂😂😂
they have come along way better an far better
Great looking car with decent spec and pricing but what about Ncap rating. These cars have always been let down by safety ratings which until now has always put me off looking at one as a serious purchase. If Ncap is good then definitely will be on my list for next car.
I really don't understand why every car reviewer talks about the hard plastics.
It became such a beautyfull car!
The Y is a oh yes!
Im scared to see the price
