The Duster’s chief attraction is its low price – it undercuts the similarly sized Nissan Qashqai by thousands of pounds – but we wouldn’t recommend the cheapest version; you don’t even get a radio, for example. We think that mid-level Ambiance trim offers the best value, but even the dearest version is still far cheaper than the cheapest Qashqai.
Part of the Dacia’s attraction will also be its simple buying process: you can’t haggle on the fixed prices, and there’s a very simple list of options/accessories.
