NCAP 5★

The Duster punches above its weight with a 5-star NCAP rating, 6 airbags, and 6 ADAS functions—rare for the price. Strong tech suite (7 features) and ventilated seats add genuine comfort, though the 161 bhp petrol engine feels adequate rather than exciting and fuel efficiency lags rivals.

Stands out

  • 5-star NCAP safety rating with 6 airbags—class-leading peace of mind
  • 6 ADAS functions deliver modern active safety at competitive price
  • 7 tech features including ventilated seats enhance daily usability
  • 280 Nm torque provides real-world responsiveness for daily driving
  • Spacious 700L boot suits family and adventure needs
  • Dual fuel options (petrol) offer flexibility

!Gives us pause

  • 17.75 km/l efficiency trails rivals—fuel costs add up
  • 161 bhp feels modest in real-world performance
  • No sunroof limits premium perception at this price
  • Powertrain refinement isn't segment-leading
