Buyers are spoiled for choice when it comes to family SUVs, but finding something that offers maximum value for money is tricky. The Dacia Duster has always delivered its own unique charm in a class where many cars try to be sporty or aggressive, and the Romanian brand has carved out its own niche once again with the third-generation model.
We’re pleased to report that the Duster hasn’t lost its way, because this SUV still offers genuine appeal and practicality at an affordable price. It’s not the most refined or luxurious SUV for sale, but this car’s honesty makes it easy to enjoy, while the tough yet modern looks mean it can turn heads.
The latest Duster uses the same CMF-B platform as the Dacia Jogger, plus Renault’s Clio and Captur, and that means it has taken a significant step forward from its predecessor, with technological improvements and a generally grown-up feeling on the road.
