Loads of people on the FB owners group have been getting their new ones over the last couple of weeks.
I saw a 24 plate previous shape duster on my walk yesterday. I can only think it was either crazy cheap or they had no idea the new shape was coming out.I don't think there's much discounting about. Must be one of the last cars on sale with a traditional handbrake.

There's 74 plates out there too, I've seen a handful.

I just walked past it again the other day and it is indeed a 74 plate, not a 24 as I thought. That makes it even more insane that someone bought it.I don't think there's much discounting about. Must be one of the last cars on sale with a traditional handbrake.

My wife's Prestige 1.3tce has been a great addition and as there is no auto unless it is a hybrid we won't be changing to the new one.

There's also the fact the newer one is significantly more expensive and being brand new is less proven.
The old model is a well known quantity, literally a couple of million of them doing the rounds.
I wouldn't have hesitated to get a last of the old model. My 22 plate certainly isn't going anywhere for a good while.
We've got through the pushchair phase so it'll probably last until the kids breach 6ft.

Picked up my Duster on the 27th December, couldn't wait to get it ASAP after Christmas 
1.3 TCE auto in Khaki Green and absolutely loving it after having one previously for six months as a long termer. Coming to PH Fleet very soon.
Very nice. They did some good colours. The Duster 3 not so much. 1.3 TCE auto in Khaki Green and absolutely loving it after having one previously for six months as a long termer. Coming to PH Fleet very soon.
Bit depressing on the whole IMO. I guess they're trying to convey a sense of the brand growing up and getting more serious.

Thanks! All very earthy tones to match the outdoorsy branding. It'll always be Dusty Khaki for me as long as it's available. I saw the new Duster in the showroom for the first time when I picked mine up - it's come a long way and I'll look forward to having a go in one at some point.Bit depressing on the whole IMO.

Otherwise very happy with mine and will be loading it up shortly for our Sunday Service at Haynes Motor Museum this weekend!
While my wife`s Duster was having its third service i had a look around a new Essential hybrid 140 at approx £23.5k.
They want her Duster for their stock and offered £14.5k and a £900 loyalty bonus, the 3 year servicing plan and the spare wheel but after a good look around the electric handbrake and less utilitarian look inside and out put us off..
It has got all fancy..

I wonder if the 4x4 version is as robust and capable off-road as the original version?They want her Duster for their stock and offered £14.5k and a £900 loyalty bonus, the 3 year servicing plan and the spare wheel but after a good look around the electric handbrake and less utilitarian look inside and out put us off..

I agree. I love my 2022 1.5D 4x4, it's a great car and suits me down to the ground. But I look at the new versions and they do nothing for me at all. There's no diesel for a start, and the 4x4 version only has a 1.2 petrol.

I sold our last remaining new and unregistered Duster Extreme auto to a guy in Scotland (we are SE based) at the end of November last year, Dacia were offering extra money to shift old stock meaning he got a decent deal, he was the brand manager for a VW dealership so he knew the score with the new version. He sent a trailer to collect it.
Are you a Dacia dealer?Had much interest in the upcoming Bigster?
