"Who’s ready for an almighty off-road showdown!
We’ve got our hands on one of the most renowned off-roaders around, the Land Rover Defender, and it’s going head-to-head against… a Dacia Duster!
Ok, just hear us out! Everyone knows that the Defender is a great car for off-roading. After all, the model we have here is powered by a 3-litre turbo Diesel engine with 300hp & 650Nm of torque. What’s more, it comes with loads of off-roading tech, including a central locking diff and air suspension!
However, it’s pretty expensive, costing from £84,000. In comparison, the Dacia Duster costs just £22,500! Sure it’s down on power, with its 1.5-litre turbo diesel only producing 115hp & 260Nm, but is it a better value buy than the Defender?
Well it’s time to find out! Stick with Mat over this series of 6 challenges to see whether the Duster is a better value purchase than the Defender!"

My honest opinion is that relatively cheap cars like Duster, Panda, Jimny, etc are best off-road, because you wouldn't be afraid of your car as much when you drive expensive ones, so you would personally perform better.

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

@HarryFlashmanVC Ай бұрын

@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 am proud for Dacia Duster as it is made in Romania my native country . At that price Dacia won by far in my opinion . Dacia has a number of models very popular in Romania and Europe as well being priced very affordable . Their pick up version is a huge success, too bad they stopped producing those models , my brother has one and at 300.000 km diesel is still priced as when he purchased it at around 7000 dollars almost 15 years ago . Amazing cars . Check also Dacia Logan , Dacia Sandero and Doker . Dacia was the name of my country 2000+ years ago and the Roman Empire had to wage 2 wars with huge armies to conquer Dacia . Among all models I think Dacia probably sell 1,000,000 units every year , I sure hope so . Bravo Romania !

So the Duster with no aids and crappy street tires made it through everything the Defender went through with all of the aids and off-road tires, but it was a little bit slower. Can you do this same test again with the duster having off-road tires and the Defender in regular street tires? I'd love to see those results. Or I don't know, maybe give them both the same kind of tires and test it? This was not a fair test, but the Duster was impressive.

@alembic1105 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Hardly something you could trust in extreme locations unless you were a diagnostic expert with a full kit in the boot.

@bigduphusaj162 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

Love it, as a long time Military Off Road Driving Instructor (30+yrs) and equally long term Land Rover enthusiast, That little Dacia was excellent and I would be far more inclined to Off Road that than an 84k Land Rover, that said, I have and on the LR testing facility which is extreme. Few Off road situations require the ability of the Land rover (which is the best.....with a knowledgeable driver). Good boots on the Dacia and a knowledgeable driver would see the Dacia going almost anywhere for a keckmof a lot less money, including maint. and longevity.

@user-ft9jh5nd2v 4 ай бұрын

Defender had off road tyres, the Duster had normal street tyres. Makes a huge difference. It also seems as if the driver of the Duster never had the 4x4 locked, only normal 4x4. I think there should be a rematch. AT Tyres for the Duster, 4x4 locked all the time. I suspect a different result just might happen...

The reliably unreliable landrover would have broken down and only cost a few thousand to repair but the duster would have just done it without any mechanical or electronic trickery melt downs.
