The Renault Duster is our pick for the best used buy small SUV/crossover for 2021.
Now that the winners of our annual Top 12 Best Buys Used Cars awards have been revealed (grab a copy of the April 2021 issue of CAR magazine for the full article), we can take a look at the individual categories.
With some rivals outside of our budget, the Duster is a popular SUV; one model, the 1,5 dCi Dynamic 4WD, is surprisingly agile off-road with its low first gear, good ground clearance, short overhangs and upgraded rear suspension.
The attractive styling is regularly tweaked to great effect and other improvements include improved solidity of doors and underbody sealing. The service plan runs out after three years so consider an extension.
Mileage of used cars are regularly 20 000 km per year, slightly on the high side.
