Dacia Duster

Leave a comment

Inside is the place the outgoing automotive is feeling its age, being only a bit plain. The new one addresses that. It nonetheless doesn’t really feel like an costly, upmarket automotive: it’s all exhausting plastic in right here, but it surely’s a bit extra designed. The exterior has Y shapes as a motif within the lights and that continues with the inside air vents. Cheaper trims could be greyer, however our take a look at automotive had a splash of color on the dashboard and I used to be actually charmed by the ‘jeans’ upholstery. There’s a wide variety of trays and cubbies too.

More digital tech has sprung up, one thing I’d argue the Duster didn’t want. Entry-level trims have analogue gauges with a small display screen between the dials, and a telephone holder as an alternative of a centre display screen. I believe that could be the perfect set-up. The take a look at automobiles on the launch occasion all had a digital gauge cluster and a ten.1in central touchscreen. Both of them look good and work tremendous, however the driver show doesn’t actually present a lot added worth other than trying extra trendy for the sake of it.

For the centre display screen, I anticipated to see a model of the Google system in current Renaults, however the Duster really makes use of a bespoke system as a result of it’s cheaper to make and doesn’t tread on Renault’s toes. It’s pretty primary and due to this fact straightforward to navigate but in addition fairly laggy. A deficit in processing energy might be the place the price saving comes from.

Dacia has caught with buttons the place it counts, although, and that deserves reward. A panel of bodily switches operates the local weather management and there’s one other financial institution of buttons to the left of the steering wheel. One of these units all the driving force help methods to a private preset, which is the way in which all trendy automobiles ought to work, actually.

You can sit comparatively low, on pretty supportive seats, however the placement of the steering column makes it extra pure to take a seat greater, as does the view over the flat bonnet that this offers you. In mixture with a barely pillboxy view out (blame the decrease roofline), it conjures up one thing of a child Toyota Land Cruiser vibe.

The engineers say that the swap to the brand new platform has allowed them to create extra inside area throughout the identical footprint. Indeed, rear passengers have a bit extra leg room and boot area has risen from 445 litres to 594 litres in front-wheel-drive fashions.

Omoda 5 prototype evaluate

Inside, there’s the compulsory large touchscreen, in panorama format and perched atop the dashboard. The Android-based system is way from one of the best. You can get to the principle features (which embody Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) simply from the house display screen, however there’s no ‘back’ button, the graphics are a bit of grainy and all of it feels a bit aftermarket. That stated, there are software program updates due and which will but change the system’s structure, so we must wait earlier than passing ultimate judgement.

Otherwise, my take a look at automobile was within the greater of the 2 specs. Even the fundamental Comfort will get heated and electrically adjusted seats, part-leatherette and – get this – a cooled wi-fi smartphone charging pad, to maintain your cellphone from overheating. The higher Noble trim provides a sunroof, a 360deg parking digital camera and comically pointless pink brake calipers.

Space within the again seats is fairly respectable, actually higher than within the Juke, however foot area beneath the entrance seats is poor and any passengers greater than 6ft tall might discover the ceiling a bit of shut for consolation.

More disappointing is the boot, which is available in at a paltry 307 litres. That’s 150-odd litres lower than within the smaller Puma, which appears an enormous disparity. But I reckon Omoda hasn’t factored in underfloor storage, as a result of the boot doesn’t look that dangerous to me. It’s a bit shallow and positively not as large because the Qashqai’s, however you’re going to get your large store in there, no worries. And you get a space-saver spare wheel too, which is sweet.
