The most expensive Dacia Duster III with 4×4 drive versus Kia Sportage L and Toyota RAV4. We looked at the price and the basic parameters that can encourage a customer to make a purchase. What is the conclusion? Duster turns out to be more affordable and even if we put it at a higher level, it will be cheaper than the competition, while having better ground clearance.
If you are looking for a car with all-wheel drive and it should be an SUV and at the same time you do not want to pay more, it is important to look at the new generation Dacia Duster III. Although it will have a 130-horsepower engine in the mild hybrid version, it already offers the highest torque and the highest clearance among all competitors – 217 mm against 172 mm in the Kia Sportage and 195 mm in the Toyota RAV 4. It also has a good wheelbase – 2658 mm against 2680 in Kia and 2690 in RAV4.
However, the key to the hearts of customers may be the price – PLN 112,400 for the extreme “concept” version against PLN 161,900 for the Sportage in the L version and PLN 198,900 for the RAV4 in the Comfort version – this is a big difference, to compensate. for any shortcomings in Dacia – such as the absence of automatic transmission in all-wheel drive (Kia and Toyota already offer automatic transmission at this price). However, the price can do wonders.
It can also be interesting when Dacia goes on sale – and it will probably be next year – 150 horsepower version of Duster with LPG with 4×4 drive.
