DACIA Duster appears today in a very interesting video that shows us an offroad test with the Mitsubishi Shogun, a car that you don't see that often on public roads, but which is a serious rival. Of course, the Mitsubishi Shogun seems much better prepared for offroad than the DACIA Duster, but in today's test, the Romanian manufacturer's car presents itself as a well-prepared SUV to face the challenges of off-road traffic.
DACIA Duster it handles well outside public roads, and I have seen this in repeated tests done so far, and including this one, the Mitsubishi Shogun does not surpass it in any way. Even if this Mitsubishi Shogun is of a much older generation than the DACIA Duster, the reality is that even when it was made, it was thought with a 4×4 system that would be just as useful even today, with the tires right.

DACIA Duster it is not an expensive car, we already know this, it being cheap enough to be bought by most Romanians, and the included all-wheel drive shows its usefulness also in this comparison with the Mitsubishi Shogun. The problem is that this model of the DACIA Duster would be the last one that has all-wheel drive included, and that's because the 3rd generation is going to come without this option for customers all over the world.
DACIA Duster 3rd generation would be produced on the DACIA CMF-B platform, and the factory in Pitesti does not allow production with all-wheel drive without major changes to the production line. For this to happen, substantial investments are needed by DACIA, and these could increase the price of the 3rd generation DACIA Duster, but because DACIA does not want such a thing, it seems that all-wheel drive will become history.
DACIA Duster it will still have a new facelift model available this year, so by 2024, or 2025, there will still be the current version with all-wheel drive.
