Used Dacia Duster cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

The Duster comes in one form only – a chunky five-door SUV with a hatchback boot opening. This model originally went on sale in 2017 and is the second-generation vehicle to wear the Duster nameplate.

The Duster is a little over 4.3 metres long. That means it’s almost exactly the same size as the Peugeot 2008 (4.3 metres) and a little longer than the Renault Captur (4.1 metres). The Duster is also noticeably taller than many compact SUV rivals, giving you a commanding view of the road ahead and good ground clearance.

Passenger space in the Duster is strong. Adults will have lots of space to stretch out in every seat and there’s even acceptable elbow room if three have to share the rear bench seat. The boot is also a good size, able to swallow a pushchair or several suitcases with ease.

Most of the Duster lineup is powered by petrol engines, with the turbocharged units being better all-rounders if you drive both in cities and on motorways. There’s also one diesel engine available for high-mileage drivers. Four-wheel drive is available as an option on more powerful engines.

The Dacia Duster provides family car space for the price of a supermini so, if you’re on a tight budget or simply don’t want to spend a lot of money, few cars can compete with the Duster for value for money. Mid-spec cars come with the creature comforts you get in more expensive SUVs – like Apple CarPlay and a reversing camera – and all Dusters use tried-and-tested Renault parts. There’s even a four-wheel-drive version if you want a capable yet inexpensive 4x4.

Dacia reliability hasn’t always been impressive, but recent owner surveys have painted a reasonably good picture for the Duster. Most cars won’t give their owners any headaches. For ultimate peace of mind, you could take out an extended warranty with your car.

Most Dusters are front-wheel drive, but four-wheel-drive versions are available if you plan to do some light off-roading or a good-value tow car. Four-wheel drive is limited to the highest-powered petrol and diesel engines.

The Dacia Duster can tow a small caravan or a lightweight medium-sized one. We’d recommend opting for a 1.5-litre diesel engine with four-wheel drive if you’re planning to tow with the Duster, as this has the best towing capacity in the range at 1,500kg. All other engines can tow between 1,000kg and 1,200kg.
