The Duster SUV model from Dacia is set to retain up to 34% of its value after three years and / or 60,000 miles, according to vehicle valuation company CAP.
Renault, which owns the Romanian brand, has therefore estimated depreciation on the Duster could save customers as much as £3,260 compared to more expensive SUVs.

Dacia, whose finance is handled by RCI Financial Services, captive finance provider to the Renault-Nissan Alliance, entered the UK market in late 2012 with the Duster, Sandero supermini model and Dacia Dimensions PCP product, including an 11.9% APR offer on the Duster.
Speaking in September 2012, Richard Lawton, marketing manager at Really Good Domains, which runs several vehicle marketing websites, said new sales of smaller, cheaper SUVs such as the Duster could compete with used sales of larger models and be used to promote PCP sales.
Renault has also reported approximately 1,700 orders have so far been registered for the Duster, including the Access and Lauréate versions, and approximately 2,000 total orders for the Dacia brand.
