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

There is an issue with the battery or charging but despite dashboard error messages the diagnostics say there is no fault therefore Renault/Dacia refuse to do anything. Nice car to drive but 42mpg is no where good enough probably due to the battery problems. Got rid of it after 3 months and probably won’t consider another. The last two Dusters were brilliant 2025 version failed to even make the grade.

This model is night and day better than my previous Duster and it was very good. The styling is spot on and the seating roomier. The dashboard layout and information screen is superb. The new engine is nippy and more economical. I recently travelled from Devon to Glasgow on one tank of petrol. The only improvement I would like to have seen is softer surfaces on dashboard and door panels.

Overall very happy with the car and the service was very good. Just a couple of hiccups.

No1 disappointed that there was no actual manual for the instruments operation

No2 I was offered temporary insurance for the handover but on picking up the car the insurance was declined because of my age,no mention of any restrictions in the sales pitch.

If you pay around £30000 for a new car I think you should at least get a manual of what the controls do and how to use the computer system. I have spent hours using trial and error and making phone calls to your service department trying to get the system set up properly. A simple manual would have definitely helped

LOVELY TO DRIVE AND EXCELLENT VISIBILITY. iT SEEMS A LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY WOULD LIKE TO DISABLE THE CRAWL MODE WHICH I HAVE ENGAGED A COUPLE OF TIME WITHOUT KNOWING HOW AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF IT OTHER THAN TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTING UP AGAIN. OTHERWISE A FANTASTIC CAR!

Good overall but engine management and regenerative braking is very clunky and difficult to manage smoothly. Lacks heated seats and steering wheel. Cabin us comfortable and infotainment system connects very well. 1 button access to limit driving aids is very useful.

Comfort features are a treat, i enjoy the heated seats and steering wheel, etc. But crucially the engine is incredibly underpowered, nothing like the now retired diesel engine it had previously. Should have replaced it with an engine of same capability.

Windscreen wasn't installed properly at factory and after sales at dealership was appalling. They broke the windscreen and when installing new one they messed up the rain sensor which took several visits before it eventually got sorted

Overall I'm happy with my Dacia Duster. I'm disappointed that the wing mirrors are not electric. Also the gear shift,is rather confusing. Reverse is forward and drive is back on the controls, that seems a bit illogical to me.

An Absalutle cracking motor 💯. Best value for the Speck with whistles n bells that aid you to drive better 💥. Fantastic practicalities for ruggade use, or an active family outing. And, I'm only, The Grandad 😃. 🤠👍.
