Dacia Duster 2020 - is it worth the money?

 

The Dacia Duster is a great CUV but is it worth the money.

Dacia, owned by Renault is out with it's latest Crossover.

The Duster starts at 11, 245 pounds. That is the "Access" model, which doesn't get a stereo or even air conditioning! Neither do they get Alloy wheels or two piece foldable front seats. They only get white paint as well!

That could summarise why you should try spending a little more money and go for the "Comfort" model which costs 15, 545 pounds. Comfort models are the pick of the range, they come with alloy wheels, air conditioning and a 7.0 inch touchscreen infotainment system with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity and satellite navigation. A reversing camera and rear parking sensors are standard along side the two way split rear seats.

The next model in the range is the "SE Twenty" taking 15, 945 which is just a little bit more than the Comfort model. The special edition Duster SE Twenty comes with satnav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, rear-view camera and parking sensors, electric rear windows, air conditioning, rear privacy glass, blind-spot monitoring and cruise control as standard.

Coming at the top is the Prestige model, starting at 16, 795. Top-spec Prestige models cost more than Comfort versions but don’t come with significantly more equipment. You get a surround-view camera system, automatic climate control and larger 17-inch alloy wheels that you won’t find on other Dusters, but the seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav, Bluetooth and DAB digital radio is carried over from Comfort models. 

As a summary, I think the best model is the SE Twenty costing 15, 945 pounds.
