Potentially, it's always good to be in a category of one. Dacia's original Duster Commercial, the van version of its best-selling compact SUV, was always rather unique, even in the niche market for car-derived vans. Particularly if you ordered it in 4x4 form. And the building site inspectors and country vets who liked the original model can rejoice because much improved third generation Duster range has also spawned an LCV version, this model, the Duster Cargo.
Like any car-derived van, the Duster Cargo won't suit if you prioritise cargo capacity in your chosen compact LCV. But for quite a few potential business customers (say computer repair people, surveyors or country vets), that's of marginal importance. And Dacia knows that many of the companies that do fall into this category appreciate the benefit of 4WD. Their employees also appreciate the benefit (in security and status) of being able to park a vehicle on their driveway at weekends that doesn't look like a van. You might still wish this Dacia had a diesel and a more affordable price. But there's still nothing in the segment quite like it.
