Not only the price also how the car looks like. The expensive cars are so long and cheaps are not so long which do a better job at some off road problems

Yes, and it's way more reliable than the Land Rover.

@Vux no it isn't. The old one if you kitted it out was an offroad monster.. the new one is a lightweight I seen a vid of a Grand Vitara spank one offroad the only thing it beat the Suzuki on was ground clearance

@@valiblaj You beat me to it lol, can't believe there's so many people with more money than commonsense.

It really is all it's lacking to be a proper off-roader. A set of better tires.

@@antoniobrnadic Pozdrav susjed. 🇸🇮🇭🇷

Iceland is full of Dacia Dusters

I once went offloading (muddy mountain forest roads) in an old vitara with good tyres, joined by a pajero(shogun) and a duster with BF Goodrich Tyres. The Duster did an amazing job. I don't like the way it drives on tarmac, but otherwise, it's great.

I have a y260 Nissan patrol and yes tyres made a huge difference, in muddy terrain its everything

They're all-season tyres to be fair, so not really off-road, but better than a road tyre.

Tyres make all the difference, a defender on road tyres against the duster on off road tyres! Which would you bet on?

@gerrybailey447 hmmm... well it would be close. The very best off road vehicles are light ones.. look at the Lada Niva and the off road vehicles farmers use these days. The Defender has extremely sophisticated traction control which would compensate for its huge weight... to an extent but there's always a point at which the laws of physics kick in. Where I live, on a hill farm in Northumberland England, many of the farmers still have old Daihatsu 4tracks from the 1990s because they are super light, super tough and literally go anywhere, half the size of the Defender. Also the Duster is a huge seller round here. What you don't see much of is new Defenders.. they are extortionate and are seen as luxury cars for the rich, you only see them with fishing rods or when there's a pheasant shoot... both very expensive here. My money would be on the Duster IF it had an experienced off road driver. If both drivers were novices or they were both experienced I suspect the Defender would clinch it. For the record, we have a Mitsubishi Shogun (Montrero/Pajero) long wheel base, which is quite an old fashioned 4x4 with mud tyres on it, it pretty much goes anywhere but for the really tricky stuff it's a quadbike or a tractor at the end of the day. I wouldn't but either the Defender (too expensive, too complex for us to service easily) or the Duster (too small, this is our family car). But once the kids have left I would consider a Duster. Edit... just re read your question... Defender on road vs Duster on off road: Duster, every time. Last winter I was at a funeral in rural Somerset, very wet and muddy, the Church used a field as an overspill lots of London plated Range Rovers and new Defenders on road tyres. I ended up towing 5 of these out of the field with my Shogun on semi muds. They were completely stuck. Tyres are everything especially in mud

I will do this this summer hence why I’m watching this video lol

So damn agree with you ! Here in Serbia, you can find thousands of Dusters. That's mostly because we are bordering with Romania and , just like UK, Serbia is in a great relationship with Romania, when it comes to car selling/dealership.

and if you pay a little money as in 700 euro for a limited slip diff for the rear it would work even better!

@@vuckomrakic3760 we also used to sell the ARO new up until 2014 in Czech republic

i do agree wholeheartedly they souls be fitted with like for like

And if it had the more powerful engine in the duster maibye it would had been even closer ☺️

Just admit it the dust doesn't stand a chance to defender tbh

@@perfectnkuna6533 no-one's saying the Duster would win, just impressed how close it was given the enormous price difference.

@@perfectnkuna6533 Just admit the cheap nugget on very chea road tires did everything the posh tractor did on AT tires, without really breaking a sweat

The truth is though that most cars would make it. All a car needs is decent ground clearance, and then once you start adding things like 4 wheel drive and good tyres it becomes even easier. The difference is though that when it's your own car, you want to look after it, you don't want to just make it whilst absolutely knackering the engine, transmission and all the suspension components. That's why you pay more for a vehicle like a Defender, because it can also make it (just like any economy car could've made all the same challenges), but it has the capacity to do a lot more, so it's not torturing the car, but rather using it as intended. If you treated your Duster like this every day, it would be a very sorry sight after around 1 year and would be worth nothing.

The test was meh indeed, but get yourself some BFG on your duster and you ll be keeping up with G wagons.

ye but still Duster showed us it's possible ​@@alembic1105

This guy loves to rubbish the Duster. He sneers at it terribly in earlier videos.

@@alembic1105 I would recomend you to visit some shepperd camps in the Carpathian mountains to see how those shepperds use the Duster daily. What you just saw here is a stroll in a park for them. And,of course,loaded with one ton of cereals bags,milk,cheese,whatever,not empty. Last time i saw one there,i couldn't figure what brand or colour was untill it was washed the mud from it.

It’s 84,000 pounds Sterling £ not dollars. In dollars it’s probably more like a hundred thousand.

Hmmmm only conquered by the Roman empire? Austro Hungarians, Ottomans, Russians, Germans. Ref the test, completely non comparable vehicles in this test.

@@mattjames4608 The Romanian Country, Moldova and Transylvania were never totally conquered; The Austro-Hungarian Empire only held Transylvania under their rule, Moldova was never conquered by anyone and the Romanian Country (the south part of today's Romania) was briefly occupied and always bounced back from the Turks (dark ages) and the Germans (WW2). Dobrogea, where I'm from, was always a Greek bastion until the Ottoman Empire occupied it and lost it after the First World War, when we got to unite under a single flag with the help of the French army and general Berthelot.

Sir duster is best SUV but in India we are still driving the old variant and that's why sell is down

Te pup

Respect from greece mate. Dusters sold like hotcakes here

For wet conditions keep in mind that dacia is almost one tone lighter

BFG K02s!

Exactly !

yea yea. cause the double wishbone front suspension that gives more travel, specially designed air springs for more travel, greater angles and ground clearence, two locking diffs with low range and the best off road traction control on the market are not enough lool. Im sure tires were the deciding factor

@@DaciaProject absolute exactly.

@@loukasantoniou8054 this car is amazing.

99% of those defenders will never need off-road tyres. The people buying them won't be able to spell off road near mind go there

@@terrydelahunt842 true.. but you will need deep pockets and mechanic skills to keep the Defender going in future👍

@@G-Cam1 yep. Wouldn't be for me at all even if I could afford it!

@@terrydelahunt842 we had Landies (every kind) for 2 decades.. i built a workshop.. put in a ramp.. spent lots of time and ££. Fixing them.. We have gone fully EV.. the workshop has not seen an modern vehicle (EV) in the last 4 years😂. I loved the Landies.. I have no Landie now... Just more money and time for other things🤣🤣👍

@@terrydelahunt842 The tyres had little to do with the results on this very easy course, nether of these vehicles would be used by serious off roaders, the modern defender is to expensive with to much to go wrong and for the price of the Duster you could get an old 90 defender that would put both to shame.

I routinely see older RRs getting scrapped simply because the electronics problems write them off. For a Pretender trying to claim to be the most off-road capable from the brand, that's a major issue. A fault with a door handle on the Pretender could leave the vehicle stranded and unable to start, if it caused network issues. Hardly something you could trust in extreme locations unless you were a diagnostic expert with a full kit in the boot.

The Defender will cost far more especially once out of warranty, the one I have for work has had so many electronic faults in its first year God knows how it’s gonna last five years to hopefully be replaced with a Grenadier or a Toyota.

@@gilbert7794 So far I am in no way regretting buying a 2015 Defender prior to them stopping building them! Sad to see them going this way.

@BINAYA KASTHAKAR You speak truth! £30-40k is sensible for a 4x4 going to be used roughly off-road. Beyond that it's a play toy for rich folk.

I still can't believe the price of them, £84K...they certainly don't look £84K!

Yep. Even 4.5 seconds advantage on most of the cars on slick tires.

Avon AX7 on any of them would win the race easily and they are half and half tyres

@@RobertSisoevit’s funny that people who make your kind of comments never earned anything in their lives.

@@thecarfilmingsafetyguy22k miles lmao. That ain’t sht.

The new defender needs every advantage it can get. A Russian channel that tests them all spanked one with an old 2008 Grand Vitara both were on Avon AX7 and it wasn't just a slight beating, the Grand Vitara embarrassed it.

and it didnt even had off rod tyres

@@gamingbigfilipp even sometimes Dacia can perform well against Stratos.

But I wouldn’t want a duster, let alone 4 of them. For the people buying an £85000 defender money won’t be that much of an issue.

@@zeedustrakok yeah right, people *financing them you mean, the same people who are known for losing their fake pyramid business money and the house and all that is on the market the next day. About 1% of the people who drive these actually have £85k to spare.

@@terrydelahunt842 your right feedings there kids beans on toast, so they can have a flash car Edinburgh is full of them ,tossers

Nicely pointed out indeed, running on 2wd uphill and with all-seasons road tires is a major handicap that proves that "the little engine that could" rises up to the challenge and accomplishes the task.

For about 3000 euros, in Romania, you can turn your Duster into Mudster, that is, offroad tires, a higher suspension and some other mods. They look great and perform great offroad.

@@1catchem yeah. No joke mate have you ever seen a newer 4x4 have to tow an older one out of a drama situation? Neither have I. All I see now is the older lighter 4x4s getting further down Launch ramp or further down the beach or further down the estuary to launch and retrieve. I drew the line when my rangey vogue needed towed out by vehicles that cost a few grand. Then I noticed a pattern in what they used as boat yard mules and rescue vehicles.. and the staff car park. Nothing but Japanese 4x4s not even new ones. Same as the mines in Australia they use kitted out Landcruisers for the heaviest duty work and Grand Vitaras for the lighter duty work and when they swapped the Grand Vitaras for Rangers around about 2014-1015 the Fords lasted about a 5th of the duty time as the Suzuki and Toyota. Brands like Land Rover and the usual German manufacturers just DO NOT take part In such difficult work, they wouldn't dare even be put forward for consideration, they make police cars and that's the full truth right there. New defender the only thing it got right was the ground clearance.. everything else is abysmal compared to a £3k 20yr old Japanese 4x4.

The Dacia actually went everywhere the Land Rover did.
