What Car? says...
You’ve got to hand it to the person who sauntered into Renault’s head office one morning and said: “Hey guys, you know how we’ve been thinking about setting up a luxury marque to help boost sales? Well, how about we scrap that idea and go full-on budget crazy with our Dacia brand?”
As it turned out, there was considerable method in the madness and pressing the green light on the Dacia project proved to be one of Renault’s more inspired decisions.
In fact, we were so impressed by Dacia’s ability to sell new cars to people who previously only had access to used vehicles that the Sandero small car has, over the years, picked up a plethora of nominations in our annual What Car? Awards.
But Dacia doesn't just make the Sandero. No, it has also applied its proven business model to the family SUV class with the Dacia Duster. It offers cheap, no-frills motoring, with a starting price that undercuts entry models of the Seat Ateca and Nissan Qashqai by almost 50%, while the only other SUV that comes within sniffing distance to the Duster's price is the MG GS.
If you fancy signing up to the Dacia gang then read on and we’ll walk you through all the relevant details to ensure you get the Duster that’s best for you. And once you’ve made your mind up, head over to our New Car Buying site to get the best deals.
