The Dacia Duster has long been the SUV of choice for budget-conscious motorists. But with the latest model being more stylish and better to drive than ever, is it time to think of it is as a worthy rival to more mainstream SUVs? Chris Knapman tests the new 1.3-litre TCE 130 turbo petrol model in order to find out.

Pros
Cheap to buy, new or used
Better finished than the old model
4x4 versions are available
Cons
Below average Euro NCAP safety rating
Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai are better to drive
Four-wheel-drive cars have smaller boots
The CarGurus verdict
Dacia’s no-nonsense Duster is not without its charms. It’s a better car than its predecessor yet remains extremely good value for money, while the availability of 4x4 models further serves to widen its audience.
However, if you’re concerned about safety or want something better to drive, you’re probably better off buying a used example of one of the alternatives, such as the Suzuki Vitara, Kia Sportage or Nissan Qashqai.
Those looking solely for a new car, and with a smaller budget, will otherwise find the Duster hard to beat. Go for a less costly 2WD TCe or dCi model, in Comfort trim, and you’ll get a practical and pleasant car that won’t cost the world to run.
