Dacia Duster camper – how good is it?
If you are looking for a budget-friendly SUV that can handle camping trips, you might want to consider the Dacia Duster. Here is a summary of its main features from a camping perspective:
- The Duster has a good-sized boot – more than some rivals like the Ford Focus or the Volkswagen Golf
- The Duster also offers four-wheel drive on some models, which can improve traction and stability on slippery or rough surfaces. The drive system automatically switches between two and four driven wheels as needed. This can be useful if you want to explore off-road trails or tow a caravan.
- The Duster is reliable and durable, as it shares some technology with Renault. It scored well in the What Car? Reliability Survey, finishing 16th (2018+ model) and 31st (2013-2018 model) out of 39 models in the family SUVs category.
- The Duster is rated highly by its owners, who appreciate its value for money, practicality and simplicity. It has an average user rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars on Carbuyer.
The Dacia Duster is a great option for campers who want a cheap and cheerful SUV that can handle different terrains and carry a lot of stuff. It may not have the most refined interior or the most advanced features, but it does the job well and won’t break the bank.
