RE: Good news! There's an all-new Dacia Duster

[ChevronB19]

I really like that, and am very tempted. Not keen on the wheels though, which take a bit away from the ‘rufty tufty’ aesthetic.

Definitely getting whiffs of the MG HS from the C pillar rearwards, but otherwise that's a great looking car. Hopefully the pricing hasn't gotten too silly.

Looks like a love child of a Dacia, T-Roc, Cashcow and a Mokka. They all look the same now!

I bought a new Sendero 2 years ago....SOLD

Here's the enjoyable experience i had....

1. All lock cylinders failed within 13 months
2. Engine warning light on after 6 months
3. Injector failed after 9 months
4. Electric short lead to constantly drained battery

Will never buy a Dacia again........ Be warned....

That’s when you really *need* the washable seats?

Just about to post the same. I actually think it looks tidier than the Volvo.

Like an XC40...?

[BenS94]

That looks excellent. Hopefully build quality is in line with the price hike.

I love this but it's going to be about £25k for 'the one you want' - maybe not unreasonable but I swear the Duster started at about 8995 when it came out!

[hammo19]

That looks spot on. Well done Dacia, it’s going to be a winner and a big seller like the current Duster, assuming the price point is right.

[mwstewart]

Not my cup of tea but it's certainly come a very long way from the first variant!

[Evanivitch]

Is Dacia actually using a Miller Cycle? Can't see it reported elsewhere and that's quite complex for them!

If Renault are, they will be too.

The dilemma is, do you purchase x4 Dusters or x1 Defender to do exactly the same task?

A new Duster every year...

£9500 in 2013 so about £13k in today's money. Actually now starts at £17300 so £4300 in real terms but you have to think about the mandatory safety, emissions and other kit it now has to have plus the huge raw materials increases in that time, well above inflation

Depending on the pricing this could be a potential replacement for our Panda 4x4 which is just a tiny bit too small for our camping needs.

Was scrolling and thinking similar.

Really like the look of this and would even quite like one… …but…. ….but…. They are driven by numpties here in Italy, the kind of people who bully other road users because they think they have an SUV. Most odd.

Radios, a/c and leccy front windows too don't forget.

Rather like the chunky look of that. All the car we need for our rural-ish existence, that doesn’t involve transporting sheep. And allowing space for something more fun for the weekends.
