Land Rover Defender Takes Up Dacia Duster [Video]

Two important names of the SUV world; Land Rover Defender 100X and Dacia Duster faced off in an off-road race. The race, organized by a YouTube channel called “Carwow”, revealed a very remarkable result. Let’s take a look at the technical specifications of the two competing SUVs and the winner of this race together.

Dacia Duster, which is one of the most preferred SUVs in our country, had a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 115 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque. In the Land Rover Defender 110X, there was a giant 3.0-liter engine that could produce 303 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. It was not even possible to put both SUVs side by side in terms of engine power. However, there was one very important aspect that separated these two SUVs from each other. So much so that Dacia Duster had a weight value of 1,405 kilograms, while the Land Rover Defender 110X weighed 2,340 kilograms. In other words, although the Land Rover Defender 110X had a huge powerful engine, the weight difference actually brought the two SUVs to the same point.

Is power more important than weight?

Both SUVs performed a drag race in the first stage of the race. The winner of this race was the Land Rover Defender 110X with a nose difference. The Dacia Duster’s spin on takeoff has outstripped the popular SUV. In the second stage of the race, the two SUVs battled to complete a short course in the same conditions earlier. Interestingly, this time Dacia Duster was the winner. In the third stage, the Carwow team tested the abilities of the vehicles while going downhill. As you can imagine, Duster was not as successful as the Land Rover Defender 110X. YouTubers, who also tested the driving aids, suspension qualities and handling of both SUVs, could not make the Dacia Duster win no matter what they did. Even giving an extra 3 points to this affordable SUV, the team saw that Duster was 1 point behind at the end of all stages…

To summarize the result; The Land Rover Defender 110X has been recorded as an SUV that gives its money’s worth against Dacia Duster…
