We get it here as a Renault, but this is how Dacia went about designing the latest version of the Duster SUV.
RENAULT DUSTER
Base price: $27,990 (special launch price)
Powertrain and economy: 1.6-litre petrol four-cylinder, 84kW/156Nm, continuously variable transmission, FWD, combined economy 6.9L/100km, CO2 158g/km (source: Rightcar).
Vital statistics: 4341mm long, 1804mm wide, 1693mm high, 2676mm wheelbase, luggage capacity 475 litres, 16-inch alloy wheels.
We like: Decent engine and great ride quality, surprisingly good audio system, biggest small SUV for the price.
We don t like: That price is too high, bland, cheap-feeling interior. After being around in Europe for more than a decade as a Dacia, the Duster has finally been let loose on New Zealand roads under the Renault brand. Is it the rough-road hero of the sub-$30k SUV segment?
