Dacia has been killing it with their exterior design lately. In that department it outcompetes a lot of the more expensive brands.

killing is the correct word as safety crash scores are extremely poor😢 would pay more for safety but thats just me

[@SkywalkerAnakin996]

I ordered my first Dacia in October 2022 and got it in February 2023. Until then I was driving old used cars and had problems after problems and spent so much money keeping my car on the road. I was searching for a good used car (max 2 years old) but the used car market was filled with overpriced cars. Thanks to my ADHD I spent a lot of time comparing cars, calculating how much I would spent per year or over the complete time I would finance a new car. And the best option was to order a brand new duster. Buying a 1 year old one didn’t make sense, would have cost me more. And since Dacias are cheap the lpg engine with the highest trim was the only option for me. One year later I broke my left foot and damaged my knee. So I was thinking about getting a new car again but with automatic. Compared some brands and the Dacia duster 3 hybrid 140 extreme with every option is a lot cheaper than any other car with that much space. Getting a essential or expression wasn’t an option even if they were offered with the hybrid engine, they didn’t offer more than my duster 2. so I mailed the dealership where I got my duster a month before they could order the new duster, got one of the first appointments and didn’t think twice about it. And after I got my first new Dacia many family members were surprised about how much you get for that price. Brand new duster 10k € cheaper than the used skoda they were looking at. A few months later my whole family replaced their old used cars with brand new Dacias (duster extreme and the higher spec Sandero) Dacia is the new Volkswagen. VW wanted to offer a car everyone can afford. Now they are at least 2 more expensive than a Dacia with similar features

[@anotherdeejay]

[@TheSamaell]

Dacia did something rare in the car world … they delivered what a large customer base wants: good value for money, good design, very reliable, perfect for crappy roads CAR. It’s not an entertainment centre, it’s not a vodka or whiskey lounge, it’s not a formula 1 vehicle… it’s a normal car for normal people. There is nothing wrong with wanting more but there is definitely nothing wrong with wanting JUST A CAR. I know someone that has a GT3 and a Duster, when asked why he answers: I have 2 of the best cars money can buy; an absolute work of art and a practical vehicle in every aspect .

[@nathanwolf5547]

Sometimes the less expensive car has more character and brings its own fun because it is simpler.

[@someone7507]

​@@adraduyou are correct, but you are comparing a hybrid system which has been on the market for a looooong time, with a mild hybrid system. The renault 1.6 4 cyl hybrid tries to fill in the blank space there, but it is still behind toyota's hybrid system. These engines are not designed to fulfill emissions only today, but also future emission regulations in the next 10 years or so. Think about Ford and their 1.0 which has been on the market since 2012 and covers multiple Euro standard. (Not talking about reliability here, just about why producers would go for such a small engine)

I wish they kept the 150 EDC with the DCT Transmission. The new 130 with the 3 cylinder engine isn't more efficient a bit. The older one with 150 EDC is actually the one to go for, though if it has to be this model, I would only take the Hybrid version.

[@67mooncat]

I bought a Gen 2 Diesel 4WD new in 2018. It as a great car for the money (€18,500 for the mid-range model). The floaty suspension is excellent on crappy roads, and very comfortable on long journeys. We drove from Crete to Scotland a few times in it (5000 mile round trip) and it was excellent. When you cart around young children a lot, the cheap interior is a worry-free bonus and easy to wipe clean.

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

Great to see a review of such a budget car. If I translate to UK prices it looks as if it should sell for less than £25k. It so much harder to do a good affordable car than a premium one, so hats off to Dacia and its parent company. At some point Dacia are going to have take this to a pure EV but they probably do not need to just yet. Affordability is going to drive the take up of hybrids or pure EVs, so I regard what Dacia are doing as cutting edge.

[@alexa.6316]

There is already a full electric Dacia: the Spring model 😊

[@thisIsRC]

I have a 2023 Duster with the automatic gearbox and 130bhp and I love it. I really don't need any more than that, even with the whole family in it and the boot loaded it's still plenty powerful to overtake etc. In about a year or so I will consider switching to this new Duster (automatic), if after having done a test drive it's not any worse than the current one I have.

I was waiting all day for your video Thomas. Hoping you drove the TCE 130 engine also and/or would give advice on which engine to go for. Sadly thats not included in the video. This hybrid is limited at 155kmh and can only pull 750kg. It has also less NM than the Tce130 mild-hybrid but it has the automatic. I never expected myself to consider buying a manual again in 2024, but that's the direction im going now. Other reviews say it feels more powerfull and doesn't have the annoying changes in rpm that the hybrid has. I was hoping for your conclusion today before ordering. 😢 Nevertheless, you do great work!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! I can test drive that one today and I ll check for you. As I said I wasnt that happy with the Hybrid so the petrol is probably the one to go for.

[@alexmukets6769]

So tiny engine = unreliable?

[@bjornvandenbremt1717]

@@alexmukets6769 yes, this is common knowledge. To achieve the EU's ridiculous emission standards, car manufacterers choose smaller engines (less emissions). To give the car somewhat enough power, they add (bigger) turbo's and EGR's to the engine. And because of these turbo's and EGR's; these smaller engines often operate on high RPM's to actually function a bit properly (it doesn't help either that cars aren't getting lighter, on the contrary). This demands a bigger workload from the tiny engine; which causes more wear and tear to it, compared to a bigger atmospheric block. So yes, tiny engines are more unreliable and are more prone to problems or getting broken than the standard 4 cylinders we used to have (eg 1.5l dCi).

Maybe 300.000 miles is pushing it, but they do exist. And as a general rule, small engines must rev to produce power. This doesn't make them less reliable. Running them underreved though does stress the tiny engine quite a lot.

Greetings from Finland. Thomas, first of all, thank you for the review. This is probably one of the most anticipated vehicle in this pricing range this year. Dacia has certainly did a lot of improvement. I just love its physical appearance. The wind noise and engine revving can certainly be distracting but then again this is to be expected for this price range. One question: Any plans for reviews for forthcoming Ford Explorer EV and KGM Torres EGX if you can get them of course. I'm not entirely certain if KGM Torres EGX will be available in mainland Europe, but at least they are planning to introduce it in Finland this year.

Another well-balanced review - thank you both. Super design and recycled, cruelty-free interior. Well done Dacia. What auto transmission is fitted to the 1.6 hybrid? Is it a normal torque converter, eCVT or dual clutch?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@markmd9]

I suppose it must be the same as in other Renault hybrids

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Its actually a 4 speed auto box with a 2 speed electric motor. Its because it only has 4 speeds to play with that it can rev up a bit like a CVT.

[@autogefuehl]

Indeed, 4 gears for engine and 2 gears for electric motor. No clutch, electric motor switches the gears. For what ever reason…

[@user-st2qt6vc2x]

How much torque??

[@rickbernardy8647]

This would be a hit in the states I think

[@SrdjanPoznanovic]

10:20 Thomas, your girlfriend Lia it seems somehow different to me 🤔...😄😄😄

[@autogefuehl]

haha =) That was Rodrigo our Spanish colleague!

[@faygox955]

It is nice the new aesthetics of this Crossover, surely here that comes as Renault, probably we will put the 1.6 of 100hp or the 1.3 turbo with 155hp... With spare wheel and manual obviously!

[@ohyesitsme]

Excellent review. thank you. Such a shame that the automatic version is in Hybrid only. I would consider buying this if it was available in petrol only version.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@johndrg1132]

At the end of the year, when they will present the Bigster, they will offer more engine options for the Duster also

Slow opening glovebox - a feature people think is posh. Can you imagine a slow opening fridge? Or Cupboard? Yes, I'm just waiting for the cupboard to open so I can get what I need. Why not slow opening damped car doors? We've already sold people the slow opening electric boot, so that's something. But yeah, why enter your car quickly when you can enter it quite slowly, but with a damped door.... Luxury.

Томас, вставляйте красивую музыку при обзорах авто. Как например в обзоре Tiguan 2 (рестайлинг, first-ever VW Tiguan R vs Tiguan R-Line....)

[@mihaighita8553]

Great review for an interesting car. Too bad they did not chose Romania as a palce to show it to reviewers.

[@oleksandrs1102]

Dacia made great design. Well done Dacia.

[@autogefuehl]

How do you like the Autogefuehl fake exhaust police shirt that will be available soon? 🚨👮‍♂🚔

[@anthonyr23849]

Your 'sayings' are iconic, Thomas. So funny. Try to add a 'Vegan' promotion t-shirt if possible. Maybe - 'You wouldn't put cooking fat in a Ferrari. Only use Premium fuel in your body' (with the Vegan logo?) Just a thought.

[@autogefuehl]

@@anthonyr23849😄

[@Staniii2360]

A vegan shirt would work for „vegan leather“ seats.

[@RayeesAhmad-ut7tl]

What is the expected price in India please reply

[@abhilashmahamuni1540]

LPG?

[@borgandre]

How does it perform off road?

[@autogefuehl]

pretty soft, the suspension plays a good role there. The low power engines however have to be revved pretty high on a steep uphill !

[@TWBJ_01]

Such a pitty there's no 4x4 + auto gearbox option. But I guess then it would outsell anything in Renault alliance, and that's not what they'r going for.

[@ARVIthereyet]

Ask them are they going to add adaptive cruise control in the future 🤝 I would order in a sek 👌

[@NikHYTWP]

The French carmakers have fixed their exterior designs (which were shockingly bad up until a few years ago) but the power offerings are still ridiculous. You can't have your maximum power option be 160hp, even more so when the car in question is a full size (for Europe) SUV... Honestly I like this car, I like the Mokka, I like the Austral and Megane a lot but I don't think you can get any of these with more than 200hp :/

[@metalafro]

Dacia is designed in Romania 🤩

[@NikHYTWP]

@@metalafro It has been owned by Renault for years so my point stands

[@nightsidewanderer]

My only concern when choosing between this Dacia Duster and a Suzuki S-Cross is the long term reliability. I know Suzuki engines and cars are reliable but I cannot say the same about Renault sourced engines and the new 3 cylinder Tce. Time will tell I guess, but it's a risk for new buyers.

[@CosgroveNotts]

Blind spot monitoring even works on mine with no vehicles in sight

[@bluesmartroadster]

I definitely prefer logos on the boot lid, really don’t like the trend of writing the manufacturers name in spaced capitals. There are some exceptions (Alpine A110 springs to mind) but mostly I think it looks rather naff. The trend of blacked out writing and logos can go away too.

[@adrianrennie9398]

Thomas, you should check the battery health on your iPhone .. with all these overheating wireless chargers .. its a problem waiting to happen 💡

[@tatamai]

Lpg wins even the budget version if u are a person who doesnt need a touch screen everywere nowadays... I would even prefer to get a version with cheap lpg and no bronze mirrors and no touch screens. That engine version is on the market for a long time already and its both cheapest and safest version for some :) To sum up, gr8 car outside, reasonable inside Wonder what about protection rust wise especially underneath the car.. From what I know thats the weakest link, it doesnt look good underneath..

[@iliesrazvan828]

in lower trim levels a perfect car if you work in agriculture, a construction site or whatever similiar. Otherwise just go for suzuki/kia/hyundai.

[@JetNix]

Looks awesome. =)

[@ShivaReedy-zf6md]

Hope it comes back to India 🇮🇳

"Great news" *(I know ya'll read that in James May's voice)
