Welcome to a 360° Passenger Drive Video in the New Duster
The video showcases the new Duster, which is very similar to its previous models but has undergone some starting tweaks here and there. This particular vehicle is the 1.2 Turbo Petrol, an engine that is recommended for those who do not drive extensively as it offers a good alternative to the 1.5 L Diesel. The diesel engine is also excellent, especially when it comes to towing. However, for most people, this 1.2 L turbo petrol engine will suffice.
For context, the Duster's 1.2 L turbo petrol engine feels almost identical to a 2 L naturally aspirated V6 engine, which is quite impressive considering its smaller displacement. Now that we've started driving the new Duster, let's take a closer look at what this car has to offer.
One of the first things you need to keep in mind when driving the new Duster is that it is an affordable vehicle with plenty of space. The starting price is as low as 95,000, which means you shouldn't expect too much from the car. However, there are some good points worth mentioning. For one, the ride and handling are excellent, providing a smooth experience even over bumps.
Another notable feature of the Duster is its steering, which feels like it's making suggestions to the driver. It's almost as if the car wants to go in a certain direction, but you have to make the final decision yourself. The brakes do feel a bit spongy at times, but overall, this is not a major issue.
The seats in the Duster are initially quite comfortable and feature-like, providing good support for the driver. However, if you plan on taking long journeys, you may find that they become slightly uncomfortable due to lack of lumbar support. Looking around the cabin, it's clear that this car is designed to be very basic and functional.
One aspect where the Duster excels is in its visibility. With a good view from the driver's seat, there aren't too many blind spots to worry about. Additionally, the driving position is quite advantageous, allowing for an excellent line of sight. Perhaps one of the most notable features of this car, however, is its availability with all-wheel drive and all-wheel drive locks.
This makes it a great option for those who enjoy off-roading and are willing to overlook some minor flaws in terms of equipment. Speaking of which, even the entry-level model doesn't come equipped with a stereo – but this particular vehicle has an upgraded optional satnav system that's both functional and somewhat aftermarket-inspired.
In terms of design, the Duster is best described as functional rather than anything particularly stylish or innovative. The overall aesthetic may feel slightly old-fashioned in comparison to other cars on the market. Nonetheless, given its price point, it's all right – and for most people, it will be more than sufficient.
Ultimately, what you need to keep in mind when driving this car is that it can sometimes feel a bit tiresome over long journeys due to its slightly old-fashioned design and lack of advanced features. Still, with the right expectations, the new Duster can provide an excellent driving experience and deliver on its promises as a reliable, affordable vehicle.
