But the truth is affordable little utility vehicles have been all the rage everywhere, and since (like) forever.

Some automakers even use rebadged versions of other brands just to join in on the action. Such is the case with France’s Renault and their Dacia Duster SUV-based four-door compact pickup truck called Duster Oroch. It has been offered primarily for the South American market since late 2015 and just last month
got a major update to make sure of its undying popularity.
However, the company again deployed a little trick, and the refreshed version, now simply dubbed Oroch, did not switch generations to gain access to even more upgraded technology and features. Unlike the European Dacia Duster sport utility vehicle, which has not only reached its second iteration in 2017 but has also gone through its mid-life update process in the meantime.
