Dacia Duster 2024 Full Hybrid 140 Forest Offroad

[@222universegirl]

Thank you so much for this off-road test. I know that as they say in the comments it is not a real off-road test with very difficult driving conditions but I thank you for doing this test with this specific DACIA Duster fully hybrid 140 model because that is what interests me since it works with the automatic trasmissions and consumes less in the city. I understand that the 4x4 is more suitable for adventurous purposes but in my case this car does is job. I am looking for a SUV because I will soon start working at the markets and I need to have space to be able to transport the products to sell and various materials for the stall (tables, big tent etc.) and for me it is simply perfect,spatcious, aesthetically beautiful, comfortable to drive(since I discovered the automatic trasmissions I have never gone back because I feel much more relaxed while driving, especially in traffic and in the city which is my everyday reality). Furthermore, I am looking for something new that I can keep in the long term and having seen my mother who has the first generation DACIA Duster and in 14 years it has given her 0 problems and we have always managed to transport everything without problems give me hope that it will bee a good choice. I must say that I am amazed at how they have developed both the exterior and the interior, while I never liked my mother's first DACIA duster aesthetically and also in terms of power it is a bit weak, but in the end it always took us from A to B and above all we always managed to make various moves alone with is car, transporting everything both inside and on the roof. With the 2024 model I find it to be a truly captivating line and for me to have a car that gives comfort, is beautiful, spacious and doesn't cost a fortune is the best. I see a lot of people criticizing this brand but honestly if someone prefers faster cars like BMW, Audi, etc. they can take those cars and don't break down to those who instead look for something else from a car. I don't want to spend a fortune every time I put my hands on the steering wheel but at the same time I don't want to give up comfort and aesthetics and I have to say this car has everything I look for in a car. So thanks again for trying the full hybrid for people who have other needs 😊. I will follow your channel.

[@DusterCoolTravels]

Thank you! I will try and test out the hybrid duster soon, next to my 4x4 model, both going with the 2WD only

I think 4WD version would be better choice 💪

I think you’re missing the point. Of course the 4x4 would be better off road but this is as much as most owners will do and it works.

[@alteregoklause1694]

@@eddieallen6401 ...to a certain extend😉 Until it e.g. suddenly starts to rain when you want to return from an unpaved track. 😵‍💫 Not talking about sudden snow... Beside that you should know that the 4x4 Duster has a MUCH better rear axle which helps on road too. In addition for Duster II it is possible to deactivate ESP - but not for the 2wd version (guess this is still the case). It´s not only 4wd what you get with the 4x4-Duster...

[@SerbanMihaiDaniel01]

It would have been amazing to see this engine and automatic gearbox with 4x4 capabilities.

[@DusterCoolTravels]

Indeed, it would have been my choice and keep it for another 5 years 💪

Exactly…. I would’ve done the same 😢

[@smartje268]

Looks great !! Even with the stock tyres. I'm planning to fit Falken Wildpeaks AT3/W on mine. So "adventure feeling " will be even bigger... 🤩🤩🤩

[@MartinNuehlen]

I would only by a 4x2 model if I could not afford a 4x4 one. And if so, I would not even buy a 4x2 Duster or not a new car. I am so glad, that I got a Duster II Phase 3 Diesel 4x4. I still believe this is the best model by now and I will drive it as long as there are Diesel fuel pumps.

[@micuzzu67]

Surely, it looks great, very similar to a premium model like the Range Rover. In any case, it’s good for casual outdoors trails, when you go fishing or looking for mushrooms😀 if you haven’t great needs. There aren’t so many cars around with these characteristics

[@cristoz8691]

This is the video which I was waiting for, thanks a lot! To the people saying this wasnt offroad: I bought this car and I will get it in a month. This was enough offroad for this SUV. You saw the capability and you saw the points where this car (with this engine) is reaching its limits unfortunately.

[@alteregoklause1694]

I would assume that the limits are NOT based on the engine but on 2wd in combination with heavy Hybrid.

[@cristoz8691]

Yes you are right, I said that because this engine only comes with FWD unfortunately.

[@sabarishbnair]

Wonderful video 👏.limited by the 2WD. There is a huge market for a 4*4,strong hybrid automatic suv in a reasonable price!!!That would be a game changer ...hope some day dacia see a value in such a model ....😮

[@mauroi1824]

Esse lugar é muito bonito. O carro também.

[@Thatonechristian24]

Does the Duster Hybrid have any form of regen braking

[@menalgharbwalsharq648]

Both the two 2wd versions are now clearly and without any ambiguity city cars. If you are poor or do a lot of road, and driveway you may want the TCE 130 sparing the cost of the hybrid engine. If you are a city dweller that rarely leave civilization, you should go for the hybrid. The LPG is just supposed for people who travel a lot. The only capable off roading is the dedicated 4wd one, which completely abandoned an actual 2wd mode for an improved auto mode which always adapt depending on the road, so the various dusters are now more than ever "specialized" (relatively speaking) rather than all arounders. To me the 4x4 one will still be the most adaptable of all, and the only one who keep the duster spirit

[@alexf7087]

Easy. Would you try your favorite road in winter on this car? It is so disappointing having the only one AWD version.

[@DusterCoolTravels]

Not sure. In snow is kind of useless with only 2wd.

[@alexf7087]

@@DusterCoolTravels I just don’t get it: it it is hybrid, are there front and rear engines on the wheels, or only front or rear?

[@DusterCoolTravels]

It’s hybrid with 2wd . Only the front axle gets power from both the petrol and electric engine.

[@LaurentiuMihail]

Cum ți se pare noul Duster în offroad din asta pe forestiere? Are cuplu? Merită extreme 27k?:)

[@DusterCoolTravels]

Modelul ăsta e 4x2. As fi vrut sa aibă opțiunea Extended Grip, ca pe Sandero Stepway Extreme si Jogger Extreme, pentru a se putea folosi mai multă putere fara ca sistemul ESC să intre în acțiune. Din păcate nu are această dotare și mi s a părut că se mișcă greoi. Pe viitor o să o iau si prin ceva noroi, să vedem cum se descurcă daca pierde aderenta. Cuplu are, dar nu se poate folosi cum trebuie daca nu este dezactivat ESC ul.

[@syncrovanCos]

​@@DusterCoolTravels Și nu se poate dezactiva nicicum, eventual să-i scoți siguranța sau releul? Și eu am vrut versiune 4x4 diesel de la modelul precedent, însă lipsa cutiei automate reprezintă un obstacol pentru mine și iau în considerare să-mi calc pe principii și să mă bag la modelul ăsta cu cutie automată. Nu știam că Joggerul are acea opțiune. Pe de altă parte mă gândesc că degeaba ai opțiunea, dacă în multe locuri îți atinge pe dedesubt. Oricum o dai, tot nu-i bine. Să sperăm că Bigster vine cu cutie automată pe 4x4, eventual o țin pe asta vreo 2 ani, după care dacă să fie, pun diferența pentru Bigster. Poate găsim un Român bun la toate, care să dezactiveze ESC-ul.

[@mattmckeon1688]

What is the price difference in RO between the hybrid and standard petrol 4x2 on the same trim level? The Hybrid 140 seems to be a lot more expensive (~3k EUR).

[@DusterCoolTravels]

3500 euros

[@mattmckeon1688]

@DusterCoolTravels Thanks. That's a big difference for an otherwise identical car. I was hoping to get an auto, but I don't think it justifies that big a price difference. Pity there's no petrol auto 4x2 version. 😕

Tisztán elektromosan mekkora a hatótáv? Így terepen?

[@DusterCoolTravels]

Dacia says around 80% of the urban drive, whatever it means😅

[@cristoz8691]

Ne számolj sokat, alapjában, ez egy Full-Hybrid, kb. 30-35 km/h ig elektromosan visz aztán át vált a benzin motorra. A hatótáv, nem tudom, talán 10 km? De ez vissza töltődik a rekuperációnak köszönhetően. Hegyen le nem fékezel hanem a rekuperáció lassít le (ha engeded) ha fékezel akkor szintén vissza tölt energiát. Szóval ez nem egy Plug-In Hybrid, ez csak akkor töltődik ha jársz a benzinnel.

[@alteregoklause1694]

What the hell means "extended grip feature"??? I never ever heard about this before... What should it do, how should it work (on a 2wd??) and what is the technology behind? Put the car on a scale and tell us what the weight is. Hybrid = combustion engine + electric motor + heavy batterie => might kill one of the most important advantages of the Duster which always was low weight... Probably one reason they didn´t offer this Hybrid as an 4wd. Summary: good looking is the only advantage (beside being aprox. 4.000€ more expensive) 🤣

[@garminbreak]

Very nice conclusion. I seen some test videos about Extended Grip, but I did not see any benefit. It looks like that technology only disable engine power cut when electronics detects wheel slip. Any 2WD technology can't replace even average working 4x4.

[@alteregoklause1694]

@@garminbreak Oh, where have you seen this? I thought that I watched almost everything but I´ve to admit that I´ve never heard about it - beside LSD (limited slip differentials either mechanically or by brake).

[@natoerlawyne772]

jajaja te comprendo, pero no has leido la descripción del video, ese es el modelo hybrido 4x2 140 automatico el que creo que buscas es el 4x4 130 manual, aunque yo entré al video pensado que era el 4x4 tambien me sentí engañado XD

[@PassengerUnlimited]

Let me know if I undestand correctly. Duster Hybrid 140 has 5 driving modes and one of them is so-called LOCK / OFFROAD mode. Offroad mode usually means 4x4 wheels mode. Right? And, furthermore - is it true that Extreme version has all the equiptment of the Journey-one + some of its own? And, does supporting 4x4 also means that this kind of car, including Duster, has extended grip mode? Reading texts and watching videos all accross the internet - I became a little confused. It is said that Hybrid will come in Slovenia on the July 2. So I really want to be sure that I won't have any missunderstandings.

[@PassengerUnlimited]

P.s.: New (Hybrid) Duster will probably have just the basic cruise control...or will we be surpised with the adaptive one?

[@DusterCoolTravels]

First and most important: Duster Hybrid 140 is 2WD only. It doesn’t have the 5 driving modes you say. Only the 4x4 version duster has 5 driving modes and it doesn’t have the hybrid 140 engine. It has the mild hybrid 1.2 tce 130 hp engine with manual transmission. The extreme trim level has the modular roof bars and the TEP microcloud fabric on the seats and the interior panels of the front doors. Extended grip is a feature included on the Jogger and Sandero Stepway Extreme models and is not available on the 2WD Dusters ( though it should be).

[@DusterCoolTravels]

No, just basic cruise control. With a dedicated button to take the speed from the traffic signs .

[@PassengerUnlimited]

@@DusterCoolTravels So if you drive 65 km/h and a sign has 60 km/h limit, does it warn or slows down?

[@PassengerUnlimited]

@@DusterCoolTravels Well, this is probably a game changer. Based on how it looks on the official sites, I feel misleaded.

[@oxi_tyxaios]

it beats me why they didn't manage to make the full hybrid a 4X4. The 1.2 looks very anemic to inspire any confidence and it looks like a marketing compromise. It's like: - everyone: most people buying the Duster buy it because it's a good 4X4 - commercial: yes, but corporate demands that we tone down the off-road thing one generation at a time

[@eugeneuu3582]

What is extended grip?

[@DusterCoolTravels]

A feature that controls the ESC and doesn’t block the power from the engine as soon as the grip of the wheel is lost.

Bonjour , je regarde souvent vos test , je pense que l'ancienne version en 4x4 avec le 1.5dci est un meilleur choix , cependant on voit clairement que ce suv n'est pas fait pour des chemins off road , personnellement j'opterais plutot pour un range rover evoque d'occasion ou un land rover discovery sport d'occasion , tous les deux mieux conçu pour le offr oad , je pense que le Jogger est plus capable et plus spacieux que le duster.Je ne pense pas que le bigster fera mieux.

I dont get the hype for this car. Thought people want a rugged all terrain car. First, this isnt offroad. We have worse roads than that in Colombia . Offroad means going through 15 cm of mud and worse. 2nd The car doesnt look rugged anymore. Nobody will drive that thing into the woods where every twig will scratch it. This car is no match for the earlier version when it comes to forests , offroad etc. Also, the car is too slow and heavy to be sporty or dynamic, unlike a Vitara.
