Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of Dacia Duster 2024

Euro NCAP performs a series of safety tests on light commercial vehicles:
Active safety is tested based on the van’s equipment: Autonomous Emergency Braking systems (car-to-car, pedestrian, and cyclist scenarios), lane support and speed assist technologies, and occupant status monitoring (attention assist and seatbelt reminders).

All details on the Euro NCAP Website:

Sidepole basically kicks you to the passenger seat. Neat.

I was going to start slagging Euro NCAP off for bashing the Duster again but that pole test was bad...

[gonscl]

Not surprised, this car was meant to accomplish 3 stars. That is what Dacia needs. 😅

[alexanderdrula]

Not bad. In 20 years you can get 5 stars. Keep it up

Dacia/Renault decides to remove the radar and rely on the camera for breaking just like Tesla, but a low-resolution camera fails at night striking a pedestrian at 1:34! I get they didn't have a budget for HD parking cameras, but seriously front camera needs to have a bigger sensor for low-light environments if you decide to remove the radar.

From what i've seen on their site, it had ok-ish ratings on everything except the "Safety assist" bullshit which consists on the car whining about the backseat passenger seatbelt, speed assistant and lane support. Fucks sake man, this car is already pretty expensive and all of these extra sensors would just add more to the manufacturing cost. 10+ years old cars don't have that either but they got a better score because those requirements didn't exist back then. How the hell can you have so many expectations for a low cost suv?

Disappointing considering the price hike. Personally I was expecting 4* but what surprised me the most is the rather low adult ocupant safety rating.
PS.I ordered one last month 😅

[digitalplayland]

Side protection at 1980 level. Good job, Renault!

[Mrremusakajack]

You’ll drive and pray 🙏 works for me everytime

[danielbogdanzaharia]

Bravo Dacia! Nu doar ca iti cumperi o caruta scumpa, iti cumperi si un sicriu scump!

[tamero]

You don’t need safety in a car. You just need CarPlay and rearview camera. 😂

[officialhellotravel]

La gente tiene que entender que hay coches premium y coches económicos!
3* para un coche económico es correcto.
Yo me lo compro para el pueblo e ir al campo.
DACIA es un gran coche para lo que pide, bravo Dacia! ❤️

[fabiss]

this is a good car. the score is not great, not bad.

[btodmtr]

La gente è delusa perché vuole spendere poco e ottenere tanto anche in sicurezza. Da me si dice: come spendi mangi.

[UgurAkay-fvxc]

70 points is too low. Even tipo had 82.

[DamageBug]

Slab slab, pentru 19k euro pret de baza sa fie doar 70% scor pt ocupanti… macar arata bine. Ca idee cu modelele vechi in accidente mai serioase mor toti, verificati ziarele. Testele astea sintetice refleca doar o idee. In realitate accidentele mai ales in Romania sunt la niste viteze mult mai mari. Drumuri bune!

[edoardovecchini]

I was expecting much more from this. Im really disappointed Dacia, and im an actual Dacia Sandero owner.

[remystevens]

there is the comment of the euroncap after the tests on this 3rd gen of duster
Apart from the neck of the 10 year dummy in the frontal test, protection of which was adequate, the Duster provided good protection of all
critical body areas for both child dummies in the frontal offset and side barrier impacts. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to
allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of
the airbag and the system was rewarded. The Duster has no child presence detection system. All of the child restraint types for which the
Duster is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

[Tristouille-dyhj]

Side impact is the same than the old duster 😮

[thevalidsimmer]

EVERYONE has to bear in mind that cost-efficacy is the primary ethos of Dacia, the safety rating is a direct reflection of the passive and active safety that is offered as standard (they rarely test optional safety equipment) and a LOT of active safety tech can end up being REALLY expensive, which drives up the price of the car itself
