The Dacia Duster line-up has been bolstered with the addition of the Extreme SE, a range-topping variant of Britain’s cheapest SUV
The special edition receives 17in black alloy wheels, exclusive Urban Grey paint and grey and orange detailing on the door mirrors, front grille and roof bars. Inside, the orange theme continues on the vents, centre console, stitching and more.
The engines remain the same: here we’re testing the mid-range 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol with a manual gearbox.It’s surprisingly sprightly, ambling comfortably around town but also no slouch on motorways. The steering is light and a little indirect but not upsettingly so. In this sense, it has more feel than the Citroën C3 Aircross.
Those inclined to chuck it around corners would discover considerable roll, but this is so far from the Duster’s intended purpose that it’s largely irrelevant. The ride is mostly comfortable and squishy but gets unsettled on shabbier surfaces. Another foible is jarring wind noise at higher speeds. Inside, the Duster plays to its audience with hard-wearing finishes and all the tech most would want. The Extreme’s equipment list includes keyless entry, a multi-view camera, blindspot warning, heated seats and an 8.0in touchscreen with sat-nav, all of which work effortlessly.
