Winner of our Best Value New Car two years on the trot in 2019 and 2020 and from the manufacturer that won Best Value Brand in the 2023 Auto Trader New Car Awards, the Dacia Duster is an established favourite among cost conscious buyers. A recent update has introduced a new logo and grille to the front end, Dacia boasting it was able to apply the change across its entire range in a single 24-hour production cycle to hammer home its no-nonsense values. Those looking to keep costs to a minimum are served by the very basic feeling Essential trim, the steel wheels and unpainted door handles contributing to a very utilitarian look that actually suits the Duster rather well. You only get a basic stereo with a CD player (remember them?) aux-in and USB, though you can at least connect your phone via Bluetooth and control it from the steering wheel. The vast majority of Duster buyers opt for the more generously equipped Expression and Journey models, both getting a new infotainment cluster based around an 8.0-inch touch-screen. This can run CarPlay or Android Auto and on the Expression you?ll be using your phone apps for finding your way, Prestige getting increased functionality including built-in nav.
