The New Dacia Duster

Discover the Duster at Motorvogue in Bedford and Kings Lynn.

Having been comprehensively updated with refreshed design elements, advanced features and technology, the New Dacia Duster remains true to its roots by continuing to offer the same versatility and value-for-money it is acclaimed for.

The latest generation version is priced from only £14,845 OTR for those who are looking for a comfortable, attractive SUV and want a robust, versatile 4x4. True to its heritage, the New Duster is still a family SUV that is ideal for everyday use and also for adventures in nature. Its distinctive design has evolved, especially in respect of its new lights and grille, which give it an even stronger character, and improved CO2 efficiency.

Inside, it is fitted with a high centre console with a retracting armrest, offers two multimedia systems with a new 8-inch screen and is available with a dual-clutch automatic EDC gearbox. As versatile to drive as ever, the New Duster is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. The latest version also boasts an enhanced 4x4 Monitor system.

For greater simplicity, the New Duster is available in three trim levels – Essential, Comfort and Prestige – and with a choice of efficient engines, including a TCe 100 Bi-Fuel. The top-of-the-range TCe 150 engine is now paired to a new six-speed automatic transmission.

For even more ease, New Duster comes with just two options to choose from depending on the specification – metallic paint and a spare wheel.

Exterior

The New Duster introduces a more contemporary design, which is not only more stylish, but also works to optimise its aerodynamics for greater efficiency.

At the front end, new light units include Y-shaped daytime running lights, a new shape that also inspired the new 3D chromed radiator grille. The bolder, more purposeful front-end styling ensures that the Duster is now even more striking.

There are also new body-coloured front rear bumpers (lower section), tinted windows and a bold new tailgate trim with ‘Duster’ inscription. The versatility of the New Duster, for both every day and off-road use, is evident by its high ground clearance of 217 mm on the two-wheel drive version and 214 mm on the 4x4.

Interior

The New Duster improves the comfort of its occupants with a more inviting cabin. It is equipped with new upholstery, new headrests, and a high centre console with a wide retracting armrest. The New Duster also offers two multimedia systems with a new 8-inch touchscreen.

The comprehensive standard equipment includes an onboard computer screen, automatic main beam activation and cruise control and speed limiter with backlit controls on the steering wheel.

Automatic climate control with a digital display, heated front seats and a hands-free card are available on higher specification versions.

A notable new feature is the inclusion of a high centre console with a wide armrest that retracts 70mm. Available on selected models, it houses a closable, 1.1-litre storage compartment and two USB charging sockets for the rear passengers.​

The upholstery for the seats on the New Duster is 100 per cent new, and the fabric and shape of the enhanced headrests offer improved comfort and support. The new, slim profile of the headrests improves the visibility in the passenger compartment for rear passengers looking to the front and vice versa.​

You won’t believe what you can take with you in All-New Duster. So don’t hold back! Luggage, parcels, furniture... your SUV is always ready. The extremely modular layout lets you adapt the passenger compartment to your needs or desires: the loading capacity of the boot, the flexibility in using the interior space (60/40 split fold rear bench seat, but all of the seats can be folded down) maximise your carrying options. The many storage spaces in the doors and on the backs of the front seats invite you to empty your pockets and enjoy freedom while driving!​

Engines

The New Duster’s engine line-up has been comprehensively renewed and now offers a wide range of petrol, diesel, and even Bi-Fuel versions – which features a 50 percent larger LPG tank – plus the choice of an innovative new six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with the TCe 150 engine.

The New Duster’s range of engines comprises three TCe petrol units of 90, 130, and 150hp outputs. The torquey and efficient Blue dCi 115 diesel, meanwhile, is available with a choice of two- or four-wheel-drive, while the six-speed manual gearbox enables precise control in off-road situations.

The TCe 100 Bi-Fuel features Dacia’s proven factory-fitted LPG technology to offer a CO2 reduction of up to 9.5 percent when running on gas, as well as a combined petrol and LPG range of up to 767 miles thanks to its larger tank.

Stop&Start, which automatically turns the engine off when the vehicle is stationary, is standard on all New Duster models and delivers both improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
