AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Dacia Duster and the OMODA 5 have rear seats that fold down easily, but while the OMODA 5 leaves a reasonably flat load area, the Duster leaves a significant hump in its load floor when flat. For passengers, adults have plenty of room in the back of the Duster, whereas space in the rear of the OMODA 5 is quite limited. Inside, most of what you touch in the OMODA 5 feels posh and premium, even if some plastics feel quite cheap. In the Duster, the steering wheel and gear selector are posh enough in the hand, but everywhere else you touch definitely feels like it comes from the bargain basement. Once you are up to speed on the motorway, the OMODA 5 keeps wind, road and engine noise well contained, whereas the Duster is slightly noisier than alternatives.
