Its not the badge thats the issue but rather that the 4x4 only comes with the 130hp engine which (I believe) will not be sufficient for a car this big. They should do the 155hp engine available for the 4x4 edition if not bringing out a 180-200hp engine to support it...

Dacia is changing the market. This car will take all the sales from the likes of Tucson, Sportage, Kodiaq and so on. For fraction of the price. What you mentioned is so true. Dacia is making practical and affordable cars in a time where all the greedy companies are adding stuff to the cars that don't provide any additional value. Great job Dacia!

Out of all the Dacia reviews Ive watched over the years. This Gentleman is by far the The Best Reviewer out there. On my 5th Duster and probably my last., albeit the next transition will be to the Bigster. At long last the family can reach into the boot from the inside to grab water bottles on long trips. Thanks for a great review. Looking forward to when you test drive a Bigster.

I already have a Jogger Extreme so this will be next car in two years time. The only thing I would hope they improve on is the carpets. It's more like fluffy lino and it wears very quickly. But other than that nothing wrong with it. My neighbour has a Kia and he paid £6k more for his. Also the seven seats are useful if you have a big family, but I took mine out and use mine as a van. Also be prepared for "Brand Snobs" who will just turn their noses up at it, until they see what you get for money. What I like in my hybrid is nearly 70mpg and nearly 65-75% in EV mode around London. In fact Dacia short changed themselves on the MPG. One caveat is that I hope they have solved the clutch and gearbox issues that plagued the manual Joggers. There are good and bad points in all cars but my Jogger is more good than bad. Remember that the chances are it will badged as a Renault in some countries so you will never know the difference! One thing I hope they don't do is price themselves out of the "budget" market. The reason I chose Dacia was that I bought my car on my debit card on a whim!

Can see them doing very well with this, they’ve put a lot of thought into design and the practicality will appeal to many people. The price of some cars that offer this carrying capacity and versatility is crazy, you’d be very reluctant to put mucky bikes, kids and dogs in the back. Buy the right version of this and you’ve got a new car that meets the needs of a lot of people at a very reasonable price. Very fair and balanced review as always 👍

Hi Pete, great review. I was amazed by the new plastic. I was in the industrial paint/coatings industry and many years ago painting plastics was an incredible challenge because of the fast rate of new plastic development. It was so important to paint plastics say 30 years ago because whichever moulding technique was used, surfaces were visually very imperfect with stress marks etc. This injection moulding with apparently well distributed sparkle is truely a modern miracle. Brilliant. What a car? Thank you for great content as usual. David

Might one humbly ask that you might use your knowledge and insight to test the Dacia Duster TCE 130 4x2. Loads of testing of the Hybrid Model. Also the brochure of the New Dacia Duster Gen 3 differs in areas. One brochure will say the rear wheels are drum brakes when they are disc. Another brochure will say there is no front or side sensors. FYI In Ireland the Duster HEV 140 Extreme is €36,130. Duster TCE 130 4X2 Extreme €32,435. Duster TCE 4x4 Extreme €36,435. Getting to be a very expencive car in Ireland. I'd hate to think what the Bigster is going to be priced at in Ireland.

I'm glad the dash doesn't look like the bridge of Starship Enterprise and have lots of unnecessary gizmos and neon lighting. I can't wait for your review .

Great cars, great price. We bought a Duster prestidge as a replacement for a Toyota Auris, we needed more room for camping and Grankids. Lancashire - Thurso Caithness on one tank and still using it the next day without a low petrol light. We purchased the 150bhp 1.3cc. More than capable

Morning Ped, Great review of the vehicle at this time, before you get to drive it and test it properly. Any idea of the towing capacity and if there will be a tow bar option?

Excellent post Pete. Didn’t know this model was coming and what a vehicle for the money 😁. It’s bound to rattle many other manufacturers for sure. Looking forward to watching your ‘on and off road’ review to see how it is to drive. And personally I like the name, it’s fun 👍

The Dacia Dusters historic low 3 star NCAP rating is not just down to a seat belt warning sensor. There are more fundamental issues with the cars. We know that, its shown on the NCAP test results that anyone can download. I spent around 40 years in the Motor Industry, working for manufacturers, including Renault. They build lots of 5 star NCAP cars.

NCAP has become a bit of a joke though as some of the drivers aids they insist on are down right dangerous, they don’t seem to care how well/poorly the features are implemented, I’ve had 5 star NCAP cars trying to force me off the road, hammering emergency brakes on for no apparent reason all whilst forcing them selves back on every time the vehicle starts.

@@dk8435I remember how once i had really close call just because car wanted to steer within white lines while the road was under construction but you had to follow the temporary yellow ones. I shouldn't be forcing with the car to stay in the proper lane. Meanwhile on my old car it just rumbles the seat if I go over the line while not adjusting the trajectory. And that's enough for me where it's not making something more dangerous but still alerting me of possibility.

Dacia are nailing it at the moment. The warranty extends up to 7 years too, as long as Dacia service it. Around £30k is still a hefty sum, but to put it in context, the entry level list on a Golf is £27.5k........

I don't care what the price is, this is so much better than a Range Rover or anything over £100k. Its clever, has a manual box, cloth seats and a pano roof. It ticks all my boxes, makes a £150k Lotus SUV look stupid (not hard). I just don't know how any other manufacturer can compete. Just on badge snobbery, that's all. Hope you can get steel wheels like the Duster? Unfortunately it probably has the speed limit warnings and lane change assist that makes any new car unbuyable, unless there is a single button to turn it all off, Oh there is WOW!!!!!! Its game over for every other car, Dacia has listened to REAL people. I would have this over any other new car, anything, its the spiritual successor to my 2005 Subaru Forester I have been waiting for, its what people want. 10/10 Dacia. 10/10 Ped.
