Hi Katy,
The answer is a touch complicated. The Duster lacks standard-fit ESP and it has received a three-star safety rating from EuroNCAP, whereas most of its more expensive rivals would get a full five-star score. The Sandero actually does have standard ESP, and it scores a more healthy four-star rating, although it's worth noting that the overall crash protection score for the occupants is more or less the same for both vehicles, and the Duster loses points when its lack of electronic systems is taken into account. Hope that helps
