Should I swap my Kia Sportage for a Dacia Duster?

I own a Kia Sportage, which is reliable but expensive to insure and service. I am considering a near-new Dacia Duster as a swap, would this be a good replacement? Does the Duster have Emergency Brake Assist?

You will find the Dacia Duster to be a bit more basic inside, with lower-quality trim and less refinement. But it's still a spacious, comfortable and (in higher trims) pretty well-equipped car that feels pleasingly honest.

The newer Duster has ABS in conjunction with Emergency Brake Assist which distributes braking force between the wheels to maintain stability under hard braking - this is the same function as EBD.
