Owner Reviews
“Verified UK Duster 4x4 Extreme owner: comfortable, good sized boot, enjoyable drive, capable in quarry/muddy field use, and meeting the need for a capable 4x4 at a price that did not break the bank; minor tech quibbles.”
“Verified owner liked the new Duster but criticised reversing visibility, demister performance, reliance on the reversing camera, and the lack of a standard spare wheel.”
“Verified Duster 4x4 owner reported a breakdown with dashboard warnings, a failed electronic water pump and injector reprogramming, leaving them nervous about driving the car.”
“UK Dacia Owners Club participants were largely thrilled by the Mk3 Duster's design, affordability and roof-rail practicality, but some diesel-oriented owners were concerned by the lack of a diesel option.”
Press Reviews
“What Car? said the Duster represents excellent value in Expression TCe mild-hybrid trim, with comfort, boot space and price offsetting harder plastics, sparse entry equipment and less agile handling.”
“Top Gear's verdict called the Duster easy to use, designed for real life, roomy for its size, full of useful storage and one of the car world's true bargains.”
“Carbuyer named the latest Duster its 2025 Car of the Year, praising value, practicality, hybrid efficiency and off-road capability, while flagging low-quality interior plastics, refinement and safety concerns.”
“Auto Trader rated the Duster 4.5/5 overall, with 5/5 for running costs and reliability, 3/5 for safety, and described the new model as staying true to Dacia's value-for-money ethos.”

Safety Rating
VSI Safety Score: 68/100
Known Issues
- • Euro NCAP 2024 score is 3 stars, with 70% adult occupant, 84% child occupant, 60% vulnerable road users and 57% safety assist.

Market Context
UK evidence is strongly value-led: Dacia UK lists the Duster from GBP 21,845 for MY26, Auto Trader/Carwow show live new-car and lease availability, and Dacia was named Auto Trader's Best Value Brand for 2025. The 2025 Duster sits below many mainstream small-SUV rivals on price, but UK buyers should weigh that against the 3-star Euro NCAP result, no diesel option, and early-owner complaints about visibility and electronic usability. Import-duty impact is not exposed as a separate retail signal for UK consumers; pricing is presented as UK MRRP/OTR through Dacia UK and retailers.
