What does it cost?
For The Dacia Duster is a lot of car for the money, with a spacious cabin and a big boot. The entry-level price is staggeringly low.
Against The Dacia Duster's refinement and handling are disappointing, it has a low NCAP safety rating and basic models are desperately short on equipment.

You can't buy a bigger new car for the money, but the Dacia Duster is a bit too rough and ready. By Steve Huntingford

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Duster’s chief attraction is its low price – it undercuts the similarly sized Nissan Qashqai by thousands – but we wouldn’t recommend the cheapest version; you don’t even get a radio, for example. In fact, the list prices are so cheap that it arguably makes sense to buy the dearest model – which is still far cheaper than the cheapest Nissan Qashqai.
Part of the Dacia’s attraction will also be its simple buying process: you can’t haggle on the fixed prices, and there’s a very simple list of options/accessories.
