Want to see them perform in real offroad conditions.. great vid btw! Can’t find a comparison on youtube between duster 2-3 and new vitara in real offroad conditions
Great video, thanks for sharing. Both did well and pit muchore expensive systems in their place. Vitara i think has rhe edge over all. Dacia have nailed the look of the new duster.
Based on the video. If your stuck with Vitara you should put it to LOCK without ESP and OFFROAD if on Duster. Its not so clear that should you keep ESP on or off in Duster. On the last test where only back wheel has grip it performs better with ESP on.

Very useful and informative - I live 600metres along a rough forest track and tow a fishing boat on a trailer, I think the Vitara would be more capable particularly when the track is wet / snowy
Vitara has long 1st gear, so it is not very suitable for tow purpose. Duster with very short 1st gear is better. And ground clearance almost 23 cm is very nice bonus.

In last test, the Vitara was using the side frames for traction. The Dacia is so smooth. I give it to the Dacia. I've just bought the wife one to replace a Vitara, which I will still keep. Both good cars.
For the awd system to work as intended, the engine needs to be revved up. The driver in the duster doesn't exactly do that, while the driver in vitara seems more experienced and revvs it more. I bet the test will look a bit different if the duster driver will rev the car more from the start.
@@fotoiasi It's not the driver, it's the system cutting the throttle. Driver of Duster had to press the clutch a few times to prevent the engine from stalling.
@@fotoiasi During the tests, drivers are revving up to 25-30 km/h if possible. Switching ESP off doesn't mean that all systems go off, usually brake TC remains active, engine TC is limited.
Except for the last test Dacia performed more predictable at lower speeds without needing to rev it out aggressively. Being able to apply throttle gently and get out is much better, revving your engine aggressively launches you in an unpredictable way and direction and you can damage the car on the next obstacles. I'm truly impressed by the Dacia system and yes I drive a Suzuki Ignis hard off road www.youtube.com/@tinyadventuresoffroad/videos
@@bogdandanailescu Actually you can do the same by Suzuki with manual or automatic transmission. The one from the test has AGS transmission, so there's no control over the clutch/rev.

Vitara sends some torque to the rear axle, also got some decent brakes on rear to simulate diff lock by braking free spinning wheel, which duster are unable to do because of it's poor brake system all around. Also duster rear diff is a joke, it's as strong and big as the rear diff of the fiat panda 4x4 or some tricycle utilitary moto 😂
Lock mode in Vitara is a game changer but both vehicles perform good.
