A considerably more affordable used car is always a tempting prospect and when it's as smartly styled and capable as Dacia's second generation Duster, the concept becomes particularly appealing. Like its HS predecessor, this HM MK2 design undercut rival models in the small SUV segment by an enormous amount, this Romanian budget brand using proven Renault engineering to create a very likeable product that could prove ideal as back-up family transport. This second generation version got more technology and a bit of extra polish but otherwise, the basic recipe was pretty much unchanged. Which for some, will make this car very tempting indeed.

The Duster is the car that epitomises Dacia, the Renault-owned Romanian brand who've brought a whole new value perspective to family cars since their launch in our market back in 2012. The original HS version of this model was astonishingly well priced - but felt it in some aspects of its design. With a few of the rough edges smoothed off though, this second generation HM version was a decent step forward.

There was nothing radically different about this MK2 design, but at the same time, almost everything was changed - or so Dacia claimed anyway. The reality was that the 'B0'-series platform and a lot of the engineering you couldn't see was much the same as it had been before, but it was true that every exterior panel was new. The drive experience was much better too - the brand boldly promised that refinement was almost twice as good. Plus there was extra 4WD functionality and buyers got a proper electric power steering system to replace the ponderous old hydraulic set-up.

Best of all perhaps, the cabin no longer had the feel of an Armenian thrift store. And buyers could to option it up with sophisticated features foreign to the Dacia brand in the past, like climate control, keyless entry and a multi-view rear camera. To do that though, was to dilute this car's most unique selling point - its value proposition. This MK2 model sold until late 2024, when it was replaced by a new MK3 Duster.
