SLIP TEST - Dacia Duster 4WD - gen 3 vs gen 2 vs gen 1 -

[@TomaszPrzemysl]

Zamiast porównywać dd3 1.2 130 4x4 z 2024 z dd2 1.3 150 4x4 z 2023 to wyciągają jakieś stare sierściuchy 1.6, ten motor 1.3 150 to jest bardzo dobry i silny, sam widzę po nim, że śmiga aż miło się przejechać, jego duża moc sprawia, że autu chce się żyć.

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers is not so far from the third gen and it's cheaper.

[@MotorDanko]

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers probably because with the 3rd gen you show each mode, but the 2nd gen does not have modes, so its auto or lock... and in the 3rd gen, the modes makes it look slower or sluggish, but is the idea of each mode, to be more inteligent on the force to send power to the other wheels rather than a full lock, or an aggressive lock that can make you lose control.

[@flywalll]

In off-road mode (lock mode) 2nd Gen struggled least of all three to pass the test with only one back wheel in the ground. Software seems slightly improved for 3rd Gen, but nothing major to be seen when compared to 2nd Gen. The extra modes between auto and off-road don't seem to do anything specific in the real-world. Finally, diesel engine in 2nd generation (not shown here) would definately help with the torque needed in many steep off-road situations. 2nd Gen does seem best suited for off-road out of the three.

[@alteregoklause1694]

@@flywalll sorry Sir, you talking historic Diesel bullshit (as almost everybody repeats constantly): if you compare the torque curves between the Diesel version and e.g. the TCe150 you find that the later has a BETTER (more offroad usable) torque curve than the Diesel (Diesel 250Nm at 2.000rpm, TCe150: 240 Nm but at 1.750rpm). I owned a Diesel and now a TCe150... In addition you have a MUCH larger working rpm range in 1st gear. Beside that torque doesn´t help on rollers, only intelligent and fast AWD or/and brake controll (if you don´t have a mechanical locker).

[@elpachas8054]

[@flywalll]

It is clearly difficult to conclude if 2 or 3 is the best overall. The most intense test with only one rear wheel engaged on the ground, duster 2 took much easier in off-road mode (lock) than 3. It's clear, software on 3rd was optimized compared to 2 - especially in the first batch of less advanced tests (two wheels on the ground). I clearly would say, everything considered - still would go for 2nd Gen for off-road performance. Much more wheel spin in 3rd Gen than you should expect from a brand new traction system. Also, did you ever see any difference in 3rd Gen between the three off-road modes (snow/mud, sand and off-road)? It seems just a gimmick (at least when modes are tested on rollers). You can see that some of the software optimizations in the 3rd Gen were done around the ESP system. It seems to behave better in combination with off-road mode. I'd still prefer switching it off in lock mode in the most demanding situations, however. All in all, if you put a diesel engine in this, it will be a monster in the off-road, considering price. Oh, but 2nd Gen does have diesel. 3 doesn't. It's a 2 for me. I heard in Morocco, they may offer the 3rd Gen in diesel. Then it would be slightly more difficult to say no to 3rd.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

@@flywalll Main difference may be actually seen in the first test, rear axle looks much more responsive and it reacts quicker. When it comes to mode - they probably make difference during driving.

[@flywalll]

​I agree that the first test with two rear wheels on the ground you see a clear improvement. Again, in the most demanding last test, I was dissapointed from the 3 with the 2 being so much better at it. Making up for the difference between the two in the first test.

I’m the owner of a Duster2 and I had some serious issues only on a beach with soft sand and some slope. Car quickly sank into the sand until it touched the bottom and goodbye! I needed the help of a tractor! But sand is a difficult terrain for every 4x4!

@@cuoresportivo155 yes, of course. but sand is a difficult terrain for every 4x4: last week, I saw an old Suzuki Grand Vitara (a true4x4, having also reduced gears) having many difficulties to go up a beach after releasing a boat.

[@alteregoklause1694]

Thanx again for your work! Not that easy to find 3 generations of Duster at the same time. As I owned DI and now DII I can confirm the shown difference. For DIII its very disappointing that the AWD works still far below "industry standards" (other recent cars with e.g. VAG Haldex). Beside the Duster (and some others) I own a Golf 7.5R and its Haldex works much better in mud or offroad general (as far as non existing clearance allows😁). Not talking about street where my Duster´s AWD does almost nothing. Let´s see if something improves with the Bigster - hope dies last.

[@oxi_tyxaios]

my 1997 Vitara would put these to shame easily. I'm tackling most scenarios without even needing to enable 4X4, let alone put it in Low. All because it's a RWD-based 4X4. When you're climbing a hill, you need power mostly at the rear wheels, and all Dusters (and almost all modern SUVs) are FWD-based. I'm on the market for a new SUV that has proper off-road credentials and doesn't cost a fortune to buy and run, and unfortunately for that I live in Europe (with all our stupid laws). Up till this video, the Duster was on my list. I guess the only real contenders now are the Suzukis and the Subarus. And I'm very very skeptical of German and Swedish cars (high costs, not famous for their reliability), although there are some tempting options

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

@@oxi_tyxaios 1997 Vitara would be doing great until you hit diagonal or lateral obstacle - then it's helpless. If you consider new Suzuki - only Jimny is an offroader. Vitara or S-Cross, just like Duster, have fwd based awd systems. So has Subaru.

LOL... the Vitara is still better with slips on front and 1 in the back... The new Duster is close, but Suzuki still builds the better 4x4 without all that useless chassis tech stuff. (i.e. cameras, dynamic chassis etc) Imagine a country like Colombia where the Renault Duster was a top seller. Nobody would buy this 2024 model, cause the whole design isnt rugged. Even worse, it looks like a Landrover and its pricetag are making it a target for thiefs in such countries. Edit: Just saw that the new Duster 2024 wont be sold in Colombia for now. Instead the old Duster will get a facelift for 2025. Speaking of staying true to your customers .
