Welcome to the UK's most affordable 4x4 commercial vehicle, the Dacia Duster Commercial. We first saw this model as a van variant of the first generation Duster SUV, a version that sold in this utilitarian form between 2015 and 2017. When the second generation Duster design arrived shortly afterwards, Dacia took its time delivering a commercial vehicle variant, eventually doing so in 2021, then facelifting it shortly afterwards, before adding the marque's new corporate identity in August 2022. For such a presumably niche product, there's a wide range of engine and drive choices but the most unique confection tends to be the most popular one, Dacia's 1.5-litre dCi diesel paired with 4WD. For this money, there's nothing else to match the all-round capability of that package.
As we've said when reviewing other car-derived vans, commercial vehicles like this these can make a lot of sense - as long as you know what you're getting. They're compromised in terms of carriage space and payload. But they're not so prone to opportunistic theft and feel more normal to drive and to own - you may, quite understandably, not want a van permanently parked on your drive. With this Duster Commercial, no one is going to know at a glance that you haven't opted for the trendy SUV model. Nor are they likely to guess that you paid so little. We think the 4x4 version is the most appealing proposition in the range. For a vet or, say, a service industry worker occasionally dealing with challenging conditions, it might be just about perfect.
