Segment: Small SUV
Production years: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
The brand’s small SUV, the Duster was restyled for 2013 and a new engine was added to powerplants choices.
The Duster was a budget SUV that offered great practicality and even more space than most of its rivals on the market.
Of course, for the price of a supermini, the Duster did not offer cutting-edge technology or luxurious features, but offered more than expected.
For 2013, Dacia introduced the new 1.2-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine that developed 125 hp and 205 Nm. The small SUV could reach 100 kph in around 10,4 seconds. The new engine was quiet and offered a comfortable ride.
The other two engines available were the 1.6-liter gasoline and the 1.5-liter diesel, both coming with an optional 4-wheel-drive system that was not available with the 1.2-liter TCE until 2015.
The 1.5-liter diesel engine was the correct choice in terms of power, as the other two might have felt a little underpowered. The diesel unit would get a little noisy if pushed.
The base version of the Duster was basic, however, the mid and the top-spec trim levels offered sufficient equipment to turn the Duster into an attractive choice.
Very spacious, the Duster offered great room for three adults in the rear seats, with decent legroom and headroom to enjoy a longer trip.
For 2013, the cabin was better insulated, as the for the previous models, the tire roll and the engine sound was a little disturbing.
