Dacia Duster Review 2026

The Dacia Duster 2026 marks the third generation of the budget family crossover and aims to broaden appeal in Britain. The price starts around £22,000 for a basic version, with a 4x4 option available. The new platform improves noise isolation, space, and crash protection, and adds safety tech such as autonomous emergency braking, speed‑limit recognition, and lane-keeping assist. Powertrains include a mild-hybrid 140 hp with a 1.2-l turbo and electric motor, and a petrol full-hybrid pairing a 1.8-l engine with two electric motors and a 1.4 kWh battery. A mild-hybrid 130 with AWD is listed but not yet configurable; infotainment moves from phone-based to a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless pairing.
