I bought the Jogger when it came out but i dont need the 7 seats anymore, its been an excellent car and far exceeded my expectations. Before hand, i was a live long Toyota man who renewed his car every 3 years. A new RAV4 is over £40k now, which i refuse to pay, its a good car but its not that good. This new Duster looks perfect! It reminds me of what Toyota used to be about.

I’m seriously considering the New Duster as my next car. I like it a lot.

A car people actually want and can afford. They'll sell these by the bucket loads while the duracell boxes sit gathering dust.

As a Romanian, I was skeptical when it first came out, but it tourned out to be the best car, ever, it does everything and cheaply, and it's reliable.

Another great review! And I like the new Duster - absolutely nothing wrong with it, and maybe I’m getting sensible (finally!) but cheap, practical, reliable motoring is more sensible than leasing a high-end EV or hybrid these days!

If you're thinking price, in Romania right now the cheapest trim with the 1.0l GPL engine starts from 18800 euro. The most expensive trim with the full hybrid 140 bhp powertrain starts from 26650 eur. You can check by what percentage the old version was more expensive in Ireland, and apply that percentage to these prices to see how much this thing will cost.

Brilliant video as usual....thankyou! In fact you sold me the previous generation Duster which I have loved so much. I'm really looking forward to getting this new updated model when it arrives.

Great review thanks!! Just two things though.... the mobile phone holder is removable... it's on one of those U clips and the turning off the speed recognition etc can be done by pressing a button on the dash to the left of the steering wheel (or to the right on right hand drive). You can program in the settings you want to switch off normally and then every time you get into the car, you just need to press the button once and they're all off.

I have the current Duster but seriously considering this upgrade to the new model. After 22 years of Audis, I bought a Duster Journey last year and have surprised myself by loving it. It's a real workhorse of a car, swallows animal feed and hay in the boot, bounces over farm tracks and fields, easy to drive and cheap to run. My only niggle is the lack of anywhere to put a spare wheel unless you buy the cage to sling it underneath the car - not exactly the easiest place to get at it. I keep mine in a bag in the rear seat passenger foot well. Not ideal! But other than that, a great car. This new one looks even better - considering getting the 4x4 version. And thank goodness for a petrol engine!

I think it looks great, clean and rugged at the same time...More importantly, if it stays cost effective it will be a bargain....Wish the engine had a bit more power..Great overview..

Quality video matey 😊

What an amazing car!

Own the gen 2 Duster (3.5 years now). Its a great car - we choosed to spec it with just "everything" on the accessories list and some more (extra LED lights in the front, Defa car heater with an app to control it, skibox, tables in the backseat etc). The car still was still about half the price of many "regular cars" especially electric ones. It consumes around 7.5 - 8.0 litres per 100 kilometer but then we let the rails and skibox be mounted year around to have an even more practical car. We use it as and "everyday car", towing our boat and cravan sometimes. We have the 130 hp manual with 4WD and its brilliant i the winter and when towing up the boat-tralier. It never gets stuck and snow is no problem whatsoever. Its ok in speeds up to around 130 km/h, over that it gets "noisy", especially with the skibox. All in all a great car and we´ll problably go gor the new model in a year or so. A pity though that the hybrid version can tow up to just 750 kg what I understand. Anyone that has other figures? Otherwise we´ll go for the normal petrol 4WD manual the next time as well. The one w have today can tow up to 1800 kg in Sweden

Great review, thanks..😊

Driving a Logan Stepway now, had it for 6 years from new and a great workhorse. Have been tempted by a Jogger but don’t need the 7 seat set-up or the hassle of storing the 2 back seats.

Very impressive to be fair. It’s all about the price point. 4 speed auto ok for short or town work, would have liked to see a 6 speed though, not the end of the world either. I would be happy owning this vehicle. I’m not a fan of EV’s so yeah! All in all a great effort from Dacia.

simple honest review but ive looked at a dozen reviews here in france where we live,im from dublin ,wife is french,we have a renault kadjar with huge mileage looking at all options for a trade in,obviously 1.2 tce 3 cylinder is underpowered hence the noise and noisy pillars as well,as we spend a lot of motorway driving her i think the noise would be annoying quite quickly,as you said school runs and local driving is fine if youre on a budget,ill keep looking,thanks.

There is absolutely no doubt it is an impressive car, in terms of looks, and generally what it offers, however, if what you say that £30k+ is the price for top spec, I'd rather have a premium marque that's a couple of years old. Still, there is a lot to like about the Dacia.

I would like one but it is far too expensive for me.

Dacia a renuntat la diesel exact in 2024 ... si nu ii mai vad rostul unui diese cand ai 6.5l consum pe 140hp pe hybrid.

Nice car. It looks a bit like the Hummer ( CSI Miami). It would be perfect if they'd put more powerful engines in it. All the testers say it's a bit underpowered. Also in my opinion the head rests look odd and I don't like the bronze coloured door mirrors.

Don't like all the in car tech, screens, a small screen maybe but it's a huge turn off just makes the car look really ugly in my opinion, especially the digital Instrument cluster, it looks like a bag of sick ! Dacia are loosing the run of themselves trying to be like the rest making tablets on wheels when most people especially who buy Dacia want cheap simple cars with proper controls for climate. I drive an EV with all this in car tech and can't wait to get rid of it, I recently drove a Kia Stonic and it had a lovely cockpit and analogue instrument cluster. All this tech is so distracting, so many menus to go through and spotify playlists while driving = bad accident waiting to happen and I wonder is all the increased deaths on Irish roads related to the ever increasing amounts of tech we find in cars ? if phones are bad what auto manufacture thinks more in car entertainment systems and screens is a good idea just because Tesla do it ? The problem for me is around 5 dealers told me they won't take my EV as a trade in and even VW offer me half the 41K it cost new after 2.5 years, never again !

The proof is in the pudding doesn’t mean anything
