In mid-spec Expression trim with the TCe 130 mild-hybrid petrol engine, the Dacia Duster represents good value for money. True, it's not as dynamic as some of its rivals and the interior has more hard plastics, but it makes up for that in comfort, boot space, price and even off-road ability.

Our pick of the engines is the TCe 130 mild-hybrid petrol. It has plenty of power to get you up to speed, but also gives you a decent manual gearbox and is pretty efficient.
