Dacia Duster (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Great value compared to similarly sized rivals	Refinement still falls short of mainstream competitors
Thoughtful practicality with generous boot space	Interior materials remain utilitarian
Efficient hybrid powertrain option	Engine noise intrusive with hybrid powertrain

Quick Summary

The Dacia Duster (2024-present) is Dacia's rugged, affordable compact crossover SUV, blending practicality and value in the competitive small SUV segment. While no longer as incredibly cheap as its predecessors, starting from around £19,000, it delivers significantly more refinement and equipment. Powertrain options include a 1.0-litre bi-fuel, a 1.2-litre mild hybrid (130hp), and a 1.6-litre full hybrid system, with 4x4 capability available for the mild hybrid, offering genuine off-road prowess rare in its class.

The Duster offers impressive practicality, with front-wheel-drive petrol models boasting a class-leading 517 litres of boot space. Its driving experience is notably improved over previous generations, feeling more secure on the road. The full hybrid model achieves around 50mpg, contributing to low running costs, though engine noise can be intrusive at lower speeds. While interior materials are utilitarian, build quality feels substantial. The 10.1-inch touchscreen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and physical controls are a practical touch, making it a compelling, pragmatic choice for buyers.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a practical and value-for-money compact SUV, buyers needing genuine off-road capability (4x4 models).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior finishes, top-tier refinement, cutting-edge infotainment, or a consistently quiet driving experience at all speeds.
