Dacia Duster 2017 vs Mitsubishi ASX 2017
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.5 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Dacia Duster) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mitsubishi ASX) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 90 HP | 117 HP | |
| Torque: | 200 NM | 154 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 13.8 seconds | 11.4 seconds | |
|
Mitsubishi ASX is a more dynamic driving. Dacia Duster engine produces 27 HP less power than Mitsubishi ASX, but torque is 46 NM more than Mitsubishi ASX. Due to the lower power, Dacia Duster reaches 100 km/h speed 2.4 seconds later. | |||

| Ground clearance: | 210 mm (8.3 inches) | 190 mm (7.5 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Dacia Duster can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Dacia Duster version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from four 4x4 versions of Dacia Duster 2017 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
