Customer reviews for Dacia Duster

Much better performance than my previous car. I like the heated steering wheel as I suffer Reynauds syndrome.

Dislike intensely the speed limit recognition system as it is often wildly incorrect, particularly on the M4 and some other roads. I have managed without such a system for more than 60yrs and wish I could turn it off completely. The gear shift operation is illogical as I have to push forward instead of pull back to reverse.

I really like driving the car it,s ,comfortable and economical and powerful a couple of niggle,s as follows.

Wing mirror cameras could be adjustable to increase side views.

Boot floor is high, could spare wheel go underneath as mk11.

Rear door handles colour coded as per bodywork.

Automatic tailgate would be useful.

Twin, brighter reversing lights.

Reversing beeper.

These are small points as we would purchase another Dacia.

Could do with a more user friendly computer system . It is extremely difficult to use . On a small note , the seat belt female connectors could be a little longer , I have great difficulty thrusting my hand down between my seat and the central arm rest to insert the seatbelt spigot ! It is nice to drive when you are not eternally stuck in traffic jams !! Oh yes , front cameras would be great for close parking .

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.

Really enjoying the car since collecting in October. First time Dacia owner and overall has proven to be a good purchase for my family.

In terms of improvements; the parcel shelf regularly comes out of the clips and causes rattle when driving.

Rear camera is quite poor quality resolution.

Shocking at steaming up during the cold weather, worst car I've had for this.

It is a wonderful car and a step up from the older model

However, as a Hybrid it would be nice to get more mileage out of the Battery

Handling is improved

Steering is better

Fuel consumption is better

Load space in the boot is not as good

The A pillar is thick and can cause visibility issues

There is wind noise from the mirrors at motorway speeds

This is again a great, no frills, reliable, rugged machine. Works great around the farm tracks and everyday driving on roads. This is my fourth Dacia product and I’m really happy with it. Decent MPG on longer runs too; added bonus of lpg gas in my 1 litre offering.

Genuinely impressed with how much grunt there is for such a great-priced vehicle.

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.

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.
