The rugged-looking Dacia Duster is among the cheapest SUVs if you're looking for one as a used car. For this reason alone, many people will think about buying one.
In the Dacia Duster’s case, keen prices are combined with smart-suited style. The latest model looks anything but budget, with an assertive appearance and higher-end details. It has grown up inside as well, and the choice of engines has never been better. It's easy to see why it's proving such a popular small SUV. The one thing it does lack is seven seats but there's the Dacia Jogger for that.
Dacia Duster rivals include other small SUVs like the Suzuki Vitara, the popular Vauxhall Mokka and the MG HS. Take a look at a Dacia Duster for sale on heycar to discover just what’s on offer.
Bargain prices remain the Dacia Duster’s biggest initial draw and it remains a paragon of relative good value as a used car.
It’s family-friendly, with a more assertive seating position than a regular hatchback, decent rear-seat space and a large and practical boot. Few family SUV options are so affordable, yet it’s not compromised in terms of space.
With this generation, an entry-level Dacia Duster no longer lacks modern essentials such as air-con, while the mid-spec model contains many features that make day-to-day motoring that bit easier. Many drivers, though, find the Dacia Duster such great value, they move straight to the range-topping model. And the Dacia Duster Journey variant boasts luxuries you normally associate with a premium car.
There’s no weak engine in this Dacia Duster range. The entry-level 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol is fine for the undemanding, and the TCe 130 1.3 gives extra oomph without impacting on fuel bills. There's a diesel Dacia Duster, which comes with the option of four-wheel drive. Meanwhile, there’s also a powerful TCe 150 petrol automatic, which uses the latest smooth-shifting dual-clutch transmission tech.
Customer satisfaction surveys continuously rate the Dacia Duster highly. It is a car that people are pleased to own. Factor in the sheer value for money and it looks a very good car to buy indeed.
The Dacia Duster is mostly about value for money, but these days it offers more than just that. It looks smart (anything but bargain-basement) and is nice to drive, while the spec levels boast, as one of the trim names suggests, all the essentials as standard. Overall, it ticks all the boxes for value-conscious family motorists.
A Dacia Duster not for you? We've got 1000s of used cars for sale to suit all budgets.
We’d recommend the Dacia Duster Comfort. This is the best combination of value and, well, comfort. It comes with all the features most buyers will want to make day-to-day driving more bearable - a navigation system (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), a rear-view camera and cruise control.
The majority of buyers will find the 1.3-litre TCe 130 engine suits their needs best. It’s economical and good to drive, with peppy performance and good refinement levels. Avoid the entry-level 1.0-litre petrol, while the bi-fuel models aren't necessarily worth seeking out. The 1.5-litre DCi is fine if you absolutely must have a diesel, but it’s not very refined.
All manual Dacia Dusters have a six-speed gearbox as standard. There’s also a six-speed automatic available with the high-power 1.3-litre TCe 150 petrol engine. The 1.5-litre Blue dCi diesel offered optional four-wheel drive alongside the regular 4x2 front-wheel-drive version.
Here are the engine options available with the Dacia Duster.
Dacia did not radically alter the Dacia Duster engine line-up over the years, meaning used examples of this generation will largely reflect the new model line-up. You might spot an older Dacia Duster with a 1.6-litre petrol engine in the classifieds, but don’t get too excited. This was a non-turbo motor and needed working hard. It also wasn’t as good on fuel as the 1.0-litre TCe 90 petrol that replaced it.
Dacia rejigged the Dacia Duster model range with revised trim levels and improved specs across the board. Even if you’re buying the most basic model, you won’t see any deal-breaking omissions.
The Dacia Duster’s exterior dimensions are:
The Dacia Duster’s boot space is:
This generation of Dacia Duster, introduced in 2018, offers carbon dioxide emissions as low as 115g/km with the most efficient diesel version. The most powerful petrol engine is also the highest producer of CO2, yet all used Dusters attract the same road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) annual payment of £180.
The Dacia Duster is a reasonably affordable machine to insure. Most models fall into insurance groups between 12 and 14 (out of 50) – and there’s little difference between the trim levels and engines. The Dacia Duster doesn’t actually come with an anti-theft alarm as standard, though. To get have this, you need to find one fitted with the optional Protection Pack when it was new.
