Customer reviews for Dacia DusterDacia Duster according to those who use it on a daily basis

Feels cheep, glitching, not a smooth drive.

Although the car is comfortable and powerful enough, with excellent fuel economy, there is definitely room for improvement. After fitting my own dashcam, I realised that, as it already has cameras on board, these could easily have been connected to a memory card to have an inbuilt dashcam. Also, as I don't want Lane Assistance, nor a Beep every time I exceed the speed limit by 1mph, I have turned them off on my personal settings, but I need to do this every time I start the car. Same with the Eco settings. I cannot understand why Dacia didn't set the Default to my Personal Settings 😒

I also found that the Auto Main Beam on the headlights can be annoying, and should have an easier override, but requires me to turn the auto lights off, rather than just manually dipping them.

Really like the extra space in the new Duster. Still trying to get used to the handbrake, as it's a newer electric type of one. I've only had cars with the good old fashioned lever. The extra room where the lever usually is gives you more storage. Very resourceful.

Only issue I've had, so far, is a bit of the paint flaked off the roof when the wife was washing it. We only do a sponge wash, so it defiinitely wasn't the pressure washer or a brush that did it. Plus - it was in the centre of the roof and the wife can't quite reach there lol.

All round nice car, little touches have improved it with folding wing mirrors and blind spot warning.

Disappointing that the auto hold on the automatic is a trechter to the right atbthenottomnof the dashboard. Should have an auto feature or at least be near the gear selector like most cars.

Biggest disappointment is the lowering of camera quality, it is awful and a huge downgrade. So disappointing if I’d seen it before purchase I wouldn’t have bought it.

Won’t buy another if it’s this bad again.

I purchased my Duster in June 2025 and I absolutely love it so far. It drives smoothly, delivers excellent fuel economy, and looks great on the road. The only minor issue is a squeaking noise during controlled braking (like when parking), but I’ve already booked it in for a service to be checked. Overall, I’m really pleased with my Duster.

I am probably a bit biased as I am now on my fourth Dacia. I absolutely love my new Duster for many reasons. The main reason is that it is superb to drive - very smooth and comfortable. It is also really good on fuel. The level of equipment inside is excellent for the money. I think I will be a Dacia customer for life.

I love everything about the latest generation, the only thing that could be improved is the reliability of the media system and its connectivity to car play, this sometimes glitches and needs the unit powered down to reset things. More of inconvenience than a major issue.

It’s reasonably cheep so should not expect too much and whilst some nice features too many things that just sometimes don’t work properly seat never maintains position and not really enough adjustment for the driver and fuel economy and engine noise is very disappointing

Duster is far better than I expected. Smooth, powerful and comfortable. Tech level is good and intuitive. Overall build quality is very good and value for money is also good. Having owned a more expensive hybrid car previously, the Duster drives better.

Driving is so easy, the ride is smooth (even the way i drive).

I love my car, the best I've bought in a long time.

Would've been helpful to have the option of a printed car manual, especially for the less tech savvy amongst us.
