Drove one in Europe this past summer. 4x4. A lot of car for the money! James May was right : an honest, proper car. Not for stiff upperlips Audi crowd. Brilliant in the mud.
Hi Nobby. A new car for approx €20,000 that can do a 1,000kms on s full tank of diesel. If ever there was an argument for not buying a new electric car for literally €1,000's more and all the hassle with charging, then this car is it . I know , saving the planet , but some of us just can't afford to or it's simply not practical. Diesel still has its advantages. Now , I'm off to have a vegan lunch , in a woolley jumper , looking like I've just gone through a tornado. But don't tell anyone I'm driving a diesel...😇
It's going back tomorrow with almost 800kms in the tank. 200km round trip Friday, 4 goes of the M50, some city driving. Hard to argue, it really is.
The Dacia brand is a brilliant brand, as is Renault of course, but you just have to admire just what Dacia can achieve with their phenomenal cars. The Duster is exceptional value for money when you consider just how much car your getting for let’s face it, not a lot of money. Well done Dacia. And well,done Nobby for another no nonsense car review.
Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
Stay safe and well.
Excellent, honest and sensible review as ever. You're right, it just does the job. I know a couple of people who have Dacias and they seem happy enough with them.
You are among the extremely few to mention the DRL LEDs also act as indicators and god damn I’m glad there’s someone else as excited as me to see it! 😃
Brilliant review, this is the first time I'm watching your videos, I have to say, that for a 12min video I've got all the info I need! Well done mate, keep it up!!!
Another no nonsense review that asks and answers all the right questions. Brilliant Nobby. Just wish you could translate to mpg and UK pricing option. We don’t have our own ‘Nobby’ to call on for excellent advice!
Good, honest review once again 'Nobby'! I love the bit about 'the government doesn't have a clue! They don't want us to drive a car but are not prepared to improve public transport system. The underground! Whats that!!' 😁🤣. So very true Nobby. They don't have a f... clue! Finally someone who can call a spade a spade! Kudos bro! Love your car reviews - honest, to the point. Plus that u also review the 'lower spec/ priced' cars & not just the Aston Martins , Teslas etc! Not all of us are an Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos! Well done & keep it up!
Super review Nobby and I think they're brilliant value for money.
informative review Nobby, Their is plenty of them on the road now as we get over our badge snobbery!
The are simple and do every job you will ask of it. Its amazing that cheap cars are under threat because of the new rules on emissions. The govt are clueless when it comes to how people get around and we don't all live in a city. My mate has a top spec id3 and i have a duster he could have had three of these things for the price he paid for that car. Great review.
The shocking part is, the id3 has an equally cheap feeling interior for triple the price. I have a Duster at home, but drive an ID 3 at work. I can't complain about those hard plastics in a duster, but it feels galling in a car that costs three times as much. The seats also feel better made in my Duster than in the base ID3.
I rented one of these in Namibia a few years ago and did 3500km in 9 days. Honestly, the best driving experience I’ve ever had and I completely fell in love with the car, even if bits did start falling off of it towards the end!
What fell off it?!
@@NobbyOnCars The plastic cover over the steering column 😂 The roads are really bad over there!
Christ! ok, bad roads but still.
Who cares if bits start to fall off if the car still runs, you can still drive it and better yet, you can re-attach them by yourself. 👍🏻🥇
@@klaseronen7535 strange logic to apply to an expensive asset, but you crack on in ignorant bliss buddy.
I love the videotography when you were going thru the woods. Was very pretty.
Greate review and best car on that price you can find. This is just a hammer for every day tasks.
Thanks for the detailed review of the Comfort version of the new Duster. I won this car on a giveaway in the summer and didn't want to pay the extra for the Prestige version because of the grey plastics of the front and back. It looks way better with black plastics. I'm currently waiting for the delivery which happens in the following weeks :)
Nice prize!
Brilliant review. With the price of cars soaring, this makes a lot of sense. Tried and trusted parts in them and they seem to do any recalls on older models without fuss. Any idea what the automatic gearbox is like? Buying new at that price gives you a few yrs of warranty cover. 2nd hand more up market vehicles may give you a headache. Cheers Mark.
Have a look at SDA Dan cars his just put up a review the Automatic version
an honest, proper car that gets the job done and with the rest of the money can afort lots of trips and maintenance
Great review, just subscribed! I've ordered my bifuel Prestige today, slate grey. Really looking forward to getting it in March.
Thanks for the sub James 😎
Can't wait to get one
Great review, well done👍 I have the Prestige diesel 4x4 in the tomato soup colour (Arizona Orange) . It is a very comfy, versatile car.
Thinking of the 4x4 , how's yours now
@@666johnpaul it is brilliant no issues, very stable in bad weather
I am excited to see what the Jogger will bring us ....
Great review. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching
The new Comfort model doesn't get the front and rear silver/grey trims along with the rear tinted windows. Our 2020 Comfort have these as standard. You have to go to the Prestige model now for these
Hi mark I'm looking forward to your test of the NEW Dacia Duster coming soon
I have been known to joke that each Dacia Duster has a free hoover in the boot. Although have to admit, it now represents a pretty good comprehensive economical package as reviewed.
So we have just ordered a Duster Extreme TCe150 Auto in slate grey and get it in July to sit on our drive in Spain for when we are over (rental prices have gone ballistic so its worth buying now) - I'm so excited because I'm just a car nut (our other cars are a Porsche and a Audi Etron) - but I love cars so much any new car gets me excited and I just want to drive them - your video review was way better than Carwow, Carbuyer, blah blah blah because its just so honest, great job sir
I should add that because I bought in Spain and the exchange rate my top of the range auto 150hp dacia cost me £19400 pounds!
Nice garage 😎
I applied for a test drive next week, I want to buy the 4x2 diesel.
Had mine a year brilliant getting 43-45 mpg mainly short journeys had 50 on a run and that’s a petrol! Comfortable well equipped and great value.
Most other SUV,s you can double the price, they also hold their value according to the press. Great review as always.
What version and engine did you get?
@@gabemore1766 1.3 engine the twenty version.
In boot compartment on lpg version is the lpg fuel tank. Obviously not on stand alone petrol versions.
2019 duster 4x4 love it diesel 45 to 50 miles per gallon
It also has wireless android auto and apple car play. Not just plug in version. You also forgot to mention that the LPG tank has been increased in size and controlling it is now part of the main HUD. Instead of a button on the side.
This was a diesel so LPG not too relevant here so just touched on it. Don’t think this one had wireless either
Top review as usual Sir.
I'm putting out a video later today on the best used car review and I'll give your channel a plug. Regards Jim's Shed
Thanks Jim!
Just watched Jim's shed review. He is hilarious. Jim more please and turn on comments please.
The best thing about this channel is the stability of the product. There is something soothing in icon staying the same the name of the channel staying the same. I found this channel by watching a spiky haired RUclipsr who has recently lost his way by reinventing himself so many times it makes your head spin ( I unsubscribed too much change for my stoic demeanor)
Thanks Tom. I'd like a fancier logo but the rest will stay the same!
Initially I was interested in the price. After research and seeing so many in France and Germany, I really like the car. I could replace my Polo with a Duster. I am not keen on SUVs, but need to get a bit higher than the dazzle zone of modern headlights. The diesel fuel economy is attractive, and I have heard how impressively quiet they are in the street. I favour proper insturments to an LCD driver display, and not many other cars still have this.
10:50 is it just me or those headlights and blinkers are barely visible? I really liked previous genereation headlights, these not so much.
With the nicer dash.
Needs more protective body cladding all round!
Great review. No pretence that you're driving anything other than a car that gets you from A to B, comfortably and for little cost.
Irish prices are truly shocking. This car starts at nearly half that here in Hungary, less than 11000 euro, in fact. No wonder they call it Rip Off Island...
Rip off Ireland ya mean - worse 🤣
@@NobbyOnCars the change of words was deliberate. Most Islands have higher prices than the mainland due to higher transport cost, but Ireland is on another level. It just feels like Irish people have dropped the Soap and global corporations are having their way with you, out of sheer spite. There really is no justification for these rip-off prices. In fact I believe Dacias are much cheaper in the UK.
@@konczk Nothing to do with global corporations ripping us off. The price is high because of VRT a government tax.
Has the safety rating improved on this version? It's the only thing that might put me off one of these.
Main things it loses safety ratings on is the list of standard assist things, passenger and driver is over 70% (still on the low side) but no front collision, a bonnet not specifically designed to not injure pedestrians as severely etc are missing
It's a no frills car for cheap good motoring A car for getting you about
Driver's head injury on frontal impact was fatal (red colour on graph, red means you're dead), so they need to improve some safety areas. If they can do that and keep the price down, I'd recommend them to my nieces etc for a cheap first car but not as they are now.
Also in the side pole test the car was damaged more than any other SUV I have seen in the last 2 decades, and that was just at 32KM/HR. They need to add some strengthened anti intrusion bars in a couple key spots and that won't raise the cost that much so they CAN do it. The side impact test result was fine but you could see the car was at its absolute limit and anything faster would have ripped the pole through the centre.
Edit: spelling.
I am currently stuck in China but aiming to get home early next year and i am geniunely drawn to this car. its hard not to like it for what it costs.....does it have heated seats? Ive got dogs and this honestly is looking like a solid choice.
Prestige Spec model does!
Are we getting the new one?
Should I get duster prestige 4x4 disel or Ford puma st petrol?
Little bit more room in the Dacia, Ford a lot more engaging to drive
Would you choose this over the Subaru XV? Thank you.
duster is cheaper to own. Subaru is 50% more expensive. for 30k there are possible better options out there.
Should also have better cup holders!!
WHY do you have THOSE tail lights? Way better than the rest in Europe? It looks way so much better
Spare wheel is not included. You have to specify an under boot cradle. The 4WD has a spare in the boot (under a false floor) but that’s not available for the 2WD. Why??
Could be to keep weight down / emissions
@@NobbyOnCars For a car that trades on practicality it’s a strange omission
Why did they change the wheels on the comfort model , these new ones are awful compared to the last model , 1. 3Tce the one to go for ! They seem very expensive in Ireland compared to UK ie England Scotland Wales , Don’t know about N Ireland , but great car , had ours 2 1/2 years , love it .
Everyone presents Duster as a cheap car while in reality its price is quite similar with other same class Suv's like Suzuki Vitara or even with a Kia Sportage( but the Fwd version) among others. There is a small price difference but not by much and Vitara for just fraction of the cost more offers a hybrid version plus a slightly more powerful engine
It's more than 5k euro difference between Duster Prestige and Vitara Hybrid and ~10k euro between Sportage base version.
Depends what you call good value and good build quality
The spare wheel is under the car on the 2WD and in the trunk on the 4WD just fyi. As far as I know some trims don't come with it, so you have to get it as an addon.
I just put in an order the other day. Waiting time is six months which sucks but a few of the other cars I was considering had up to a year waiting time because of the chip shortage so... Otherwise, I sat in the car, drove it a little, and.. liked it. I'm not a car nerd, I just got my license a year ago and really just wanted a car that's useful in that it has a big enough boot and takes me places. After driving an old used car for a year moving on to a brand new car with everything I need AND not breaking the bank would be awesome.
If renault want to survive in india then bring its AWD version in India for lowest price cut all electronic toys & bring price down.. thats the only way you could cut a big portion of pie that you guys invented in india..
Dadshia
What is lgp?
LPG = Liquid Petroleum Gas....cheaper than normal petrol.
@@maxkolbe8893 Thank you I have never heard of that before.
@@homoerotic85 You're welcome. I have the new Bi-fuel LPG/Petrol Duster. Very pleased with it...
Im getting mine early next year... cant wait...
@@kriskenzeler8867 Good choice! I've had mine for 4 weeks now and 2000km driven. I'm averaging 8.6 litres per 100km or around 32-33mpg on LPG....
The car in this video isn't the prestige it's the comfort.
I have the comfort and it is not this model unfortunately
Plastic covers on car sills are to cover rusting sill issues on earlier models.
Do... I like this Dacia??
Trouble is they are not that cheap. Over £17,000 in the UK if you want one with a reasonable engine. Crucially Dacia won’t discount. It was cheaper to buy a discounted Skoda Scala. More safety features, as much space (boot capacity the same) standard full size spare wheel and likely worth more after 3 years
All true!
When you are sitting in the back, nothing is sharp in focus, shame...
India me launch kab hogi.
Udhar ka vedio dekh kya fayda.
Best value for money if you're a tight arse. Roof bars for ladders
Very. H66
You can get a better car for the same money.
What car are you thinking of
I've seen bigger lips.
I wouldn't buy a Renault never mind it's budget brand, there things are garbage
Good to know 👍🏻
No, they're not
@@MsErikdeking the lack of quality and care for these tin boxes can be seen in their lack of finish, second hand parts and the 3 star NCAP rating.
@@Shane-ln5zz ooh, that's weird, never had and bother with them
@@Shane-ln5zz So you have no idea about NCAP at all. No need for expensive electronic crap only needed for useless drivers!!
Take this over ANY EV rubbish
Very poor review
What’s poor about it?
€25k for Dacia... I rather spend this money on McDonalds and eat myself to death or get the used Q5 if I would be in a market for this type of car
P.S. feels like someone is holding a gun to Nobbys head asking him to say nice things about it 🤣🤣🤣
Wow. You really don’t understand budget cars if you are comparing this to a used Q5. You have to factor in servicing cost, tyres, fuel, insurance etc. Given the choice of this or a used Q5, I would pick this in a heartbeat because the first time the Q5 needed a service I’d have to sell a kidney.
Gobshite
Not at all, just a decent no frills option for those that don't care what their cars 'says' about them.
A Q5
Yeah a shagged smooth Q5 .
Badge vanity at its best.
@@CptSpears007 clearly been robbed in a garage many times 🤣🤣🤣
Reality is that car service for this plastic fantastic thing with the dealer is times more expensive then servicing Q5 in your local garage. And you can't avoid dealer service as you'd lose a warranty
