The Dacia Duster is a better choice in terms of fuel economy based on user-reported consumption, although the specification shows otherwise.

But when we compare the real fuel consumption reported by users, Dacia Duster consumes 1.9 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Jeep Compass.

Dacia Duster : Duster`s 4x4 system is adapted from Nissan Quashqai. It has 2WD, AUTO and LOCK modes which are selectable with a button. In 2WD mode the vehicle is FWD. In AUTO mode, the vehicle is normally FWD, but if wheel slip occurs, the rear wheels are engaged to gain traction. In LOCK mode (available at speeds up to 60km/h), the center differential splits torque 50/50 front/rear.

Jeep Compass : It can have Freedom Drive I or II - an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system. Normally, the car has front-wheel drive, but if wheel slip is detected, it can automatically send up to 50% power to the rear wheels. The Freedom Drive I system is designed primarily for snow and similar conditions with limited traction. The Freedom Drive II version adds an off-road four-wheel drive mode, traction control, optimized engine and transmission performance for rock crawling, and hill descent control (not in EU editions).
