i have just got a dacia duster tce 130 journey + i like it a lot

Great, informative and enjoyable video. Most importantly is the way you pronounced Dacia. As a romanian I can genuinely say that you were on the button. 😂 It is remarkable how Dacia came such a long way and evolved so much under Renault.

I really like how flat that dacia key is, it fit in the pocket really comfortably, even with tight pant

Great review - I think this will (99.9%) be my next car - I have a 2021 Bi-Fuel Duster at the moment and this full hybrid just makes lots of sense in so many ways for my needs that it will be a great replacement. Dacia are to car manufacturers what Lidl are to supermarkets!

It will attract new type of customers that want value for money. I never was a fan of Dacia Duster because of the somewhat dull looks of the previous versions, but this new design combined with hybrid engine, has changed my view. I looked at all compact SUVs with hybrid engines, and this Duster is clearly the winner.

Love the duster! drove it for 10 years before climate guys took it away (over 10 year diesels banned in India), miss it every day since.

The whole design has a very retro (sci-fi) 80's "edgy" look to it. I love it...

@CompletecarIe

You're very correct about that! We're big fans of the design

I'm very concerned about the new Duster's off-road creds. The 1.2 seems basically too anemic to be anything good off-road (and generally...). The 1.6 full hybrid seems like the natural choice, but it's not offered in 4X4. I'm far from convinced overall. I hope they change their mind and they offer the full hybrid in 4X4 at some point

¿Have you mention the name of the colour of the unit what you drive in this test? I love this car. I would prefer 1.2 tce for more torque.

Very right of you to point out the parallels with the Suzuki Jimny. The current Jimny came out in 2018, they've had 5 years to revise the platform to fit an emissions compliant engine...they haven't bothered! Meanwhile Dacia has and offers this cool rugged car in hybrid form, plus traditional petrol engines. Massive fail by Suzuki.

i want this one but it only comes in 4x2 and i do go offroad and on the mountain often so a bigger heavier car without 4x4 makes no sense for me ... this is splendid for anyone who barely goes off the asphalt, just not for the niche of people that use an SUV in places an SUV is supposed to actually be used ... so if they mix the hybrid with the 4x4 or at least at the facelift mark or maybe bring a more powerful TCe on the table i'm considering it, for now the fact that they moved from the 1.3 TCe 150hp to 1.2 TCe 130cp makes me hold on because looking at this i don't see myself buying the duster 2 facelift ... i don't need an automatic as i barely drive in the city so it's not a nuisance i actually enjoy the manual ... also i'm not picky but the 1.2 is noisy and annoying at 130km/h highway speeds and you have to go 110, which tends to get annoying and the 1.3 150cp one was finally decent and they remove it :facepalm

Looks great - but i knew they had moved away from their core values when I saw the EPB... why do manufacturers do this on cheaper cars?? There is NOTHING wrong with a lever and a bit of cable... and it wont throw up a fault that you need to visit a dealer to sort out (are you listening VW??). Still - it looks a great value bit of kit and doubtless it will sell by the shed load.

Unpopular opinion (probably) here but I was looking to upgrade my current 2015 Duster and got into one of these new ones. The interior feels cheaper than my 2015 model. The steering wheel leather feels extremely shoddy (mine feels truly like leather... this one feels like plastic). The overwhelming grey tones drive home the cheap feel of everything - by contrast mine, which is mostly black inside with white ceiling, feels much better visually and to the touch. Even the plastics on the dashboard and doors feel recycled/thin in this new one, and the doors themselves work mostly on plastic hinges vs metal in mine. Really I had a feeling of complete and utter shitty quality from the interior of this one - everything is awful and bad, even for Dacia standards.

The design is really good, punches way above its class but it has 2 issues I would like to see addressed in a face lift: better mirrors (square, not round) and a slightly sportier and slightly less utilitarian trunk/hatch door. - Those round mirrors are not in tone with the rest of the design. I think they had to settle to hit some aerodynamic coefficient at a certain cost but the mirrors are the only thing that needs upgrading to a more square/butch shape to put the overall design close to the highest possible mark achievable on a value car. - The trunk door is a bit too "puffed" out, too utilitarian, designed to provide maximum internal space. The indent around the registration plate doesn't provide enough variation. It would make the car look so much better if at least the portion between the registration plate and the bumper would be somehow more varied/sporty, instead of being smooth and visually creating a BIG ass that basically goes all the way across the lower back, nearly from wheel to wheel.

It's very good!

The all ev is pretty much dead soon, as there are other far more strong and environmentally friendly engines on their way, such as Toyota's new one. The engines presented here are too small, too lacking in power, for example for towing, and the hybrid one is simply not interesting. I have nowhere to charge it. And exploding hybrids and all ev's are daily these days. More ferries, more restrictions as to where you are allowed to drive it. And a LOT higher insurance. So foret that. The old Dacia Duster had a partially nicer interrior. The new one is okay'ish in places, but looks terrible in others. The outer looks really good and is a huge upgrade. The roof rails do not work as well as the old one. The phone holderis ugly as ...., and the interrior roof liner and shape is simply terrible. I also want to know crash tests, how many air bags and so on. And I went to a local Danish Dacia dealership and asked about spares for both the old one and this new one, and he basically said forget it. Can't get them. Not even a rear screen wiper arm. The organisation at least in Denmark is really really bad and the present importer with Renault too, shouldn't be allowed. Dacia needs to work on this now, and really fast. That will prevent people from buying their cars. No spares?... Too bad Dacia, I go somewhere else. I had really been looking forward to this new generation of Duster, but while Dacia gained on exterior looks, they lost a lot on engines and interrior. And could we PLEASE get a propper instrumentation, not a stupid screen! As for the row of buttons, that's all good, but Dacia has to make direct distinctions between the buttons, so you DON'T have to look at the buttons to chose the right one, but can concentrate on driving. That is a general problem with cars these days. Just out of curiosity, I also went to Land Rover and looked at their 400 hp petrol new 90 Defender. 10 times more expensive and more, but that also lacks in places. And spares? Forget it. Delivery? Forget it. And Toyota's new model aren't here for a long time. And btw. even Toyota's legendary mechs are loosening it. Not the old wuality any more. What I want is a genuine 4x4 with a 200+ hp engine and high and low gears Duster. Come on Dacia, you can do that! Kind regards.

The 1.6 aspirational is the real worry

Hopefully they resist that for years but looking unlikely. I used to like berlingos until Citroen made it fully electric, sales plummeted to zero. As they had stopped the ICE version they created issues. Due to absolutely zero EV sales they were forced to bring out the diesel/petrol again but had to be released as a commercial. They have completely destroyed the Berlinger, I hope this does not happen to the duster. But Dacia have said they will hold out as long as possible and use the spring to meet the ridiculous 22% mandates.

I disagree. The best looking Duster so far was the current one before its revamp. This is just dull at the front and yes the side looks cheap but its a relativly cheap car so I forgive it that. If I was in the market for an SUV would I have one? No. There is three types of people that buy these. Tight people, miserable people and boring people. Its for people that are tight and sensible with there money but live boring lives. There is much nicer higher quality machines out there like the Peugeot 4008, Renault Rafale and Scenic that just look so much better and have much nicer interiors so people save a little more and buy yourself a vehicle that you will love to drive and sit in.
