This shows the amount of LPG in the 35-litre tank and allows the driver to switch between LPG and petrol, once the system has reached its operating temperature. The conventional dials behind the steering wheel are easy to read, while all of the controls are within easy reach – Dacia boasts that its infotainment system has one of the shortest viewing distances (from the driver’s seat) on the market.īi-Fuel Dusters are fitted with an aftermarket-looking LPG gauge and button to the right of the steering wheel. It’s not the most exciting design, but makes up for its plain appearance with a reassuringly solid feel. Dacia Duster dashboardĭacia has given the latest Duster a refreshed dashboard that incorporates a higher-set infotainment screen, ‘piano-type’ buttons and better-quality materials. However, despite its low price, the Duster makes for perfectly comfortable everyday transport.
The Dacia Duster easily holds its own against pricer rivals like the Renault Captur and SEAT Arona, but don’t expect quite the same level of polish as those cars. Other mechanical concessions to comfort include electric power steering, which reduces the effort required from the driver to steer by 35%, according to Dacia. We found the Comfort version with 16-inch alloy wheels is even better here than the Prestige trim. The Duster’s suspension – which has been calibrated to work both on and off-road – is at its best on faster roads, offering decent ride comfort that’s perfect for longer journeys.
It's still fairly noisy compared with more expensive models like the Volkswagen T-Cross and the sound of the diesel, in particular, can be a bit wearing on long trips. Dacia says noise inside the car has been halved thanks to more sound deadening and thicker glass, among other fine detail changes. On the move, the Duster is now far more refined than before there’s a noticeable drop in road and wind noise at a steady 60mph. The Duster’s seats are more comfortable than before, offering better support, extra padding and more adjustability. The SUV has come a long way since it was introduced and its interior reflects this: build quality is good and the materials feel hard-wearing, if not particularly luxurious. Inside, the Dacia Duster has received a makeover in terms of both comfort and styling.
