Dacia Duster 1.3 TCe 150 Prestige 5dr EDC Petrol Estate, , Winner of our Best Value New Car two years on the trot in 2019 and 2020 and from the manufacturer that won Best Value Brand in the 2021 Auto Trader New Car Awards, the Dacia Duster is an established favourite among cost conscious buyers. But theres more to it than just affordability, the chunky SUV styling and general sense of knockabout functionality all making it perfect for anything a family can throw at it. For those who need it the all-wheel drive version is impressively handy in the rough stuff, too. Now updated with new infotainment tech, an automatic gearbox option and with improved safety and driver assistance features this refreshed Duster is more appealing than ever. Where many manufacturers fall into the trap of trying to make their high-riding SUVs and crossovers corner like regular hatchbacks Dacia sensibly plays to the strengths of the format by setting the Duster up for maximum bump swallowing comfort. Sure, that means it feels a bit wallowy sometimes and your passengers wont thank you if you try and throw it around but the flipside is speedbumps and potholes leave it unruffled and, on narrow country lanes, if you have to grab a bit of verge to make roomPetrol versions use the TCe model designation and kick off with the basic 1.0-litre engine with 90 horsepower in its standard form or 100 horsepower if you go for the Bi-Fuel one with its additional LPG tank. In both versions the boosty power delivery gets you off the line smartly enough but quickly runs out of puff at higher speeds, though this is fine on the basis slow and steady suits the Dusters image. On the Bi-Fuel version a simple button lets you manually switch between petrol and LPG, though once the gas runs out it defaults back to petrol power. The bigger 1.3-litre petrol is available in 130 horsepower and 150 horsepower options, the latter now available with the option of an automatic gearbox (known as EDC) off the back of customer demand. Its the same as found on various Renaults and operate for an oncoming tractor you wont think twice about dipping the wheels into the rough stuff.
