The All-New Dacia Duster is officially available for order across the UK, starting at £18,745 or just £193 a month on a 6.9% APR representative four-year Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) deal. This updated model builds on its predecessor’s success with enhanced design, greater comfort, and cutting-edge technology, including hybrid powertrains and improved safety features.
Design and Features
The new Duster boasts a bolder, more rugged design, perfect for adventure seekers. It features underbody shields, wheel-arch guards, snorkel, and bumper inserts made from Starkle, a robust material with up to 20% recycled content and a distinctive mottled finish. The front and rear skid plates are pre-dyed, minimizing environmental impact and maintaining a consistent look even if scratched.
Inside, the Duster offers a welcoming and functional environment with a more vertical dashboard and improved use of space, thanks to the new CMF-B platform. The interior includes the innovative YouClip system for mounting accessories like tablet and smartphone holders. Higher trims feature a 7-inch digital driver display and a 10.1-inch Media Display, angled towards the driver for better ergonomics. Wireless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, with Journey and Extreme trims adding a wireless phone charger.
The new platform also enhances comfort by reducing road noise and vibrations. The Duster’s dynamic behavior is improved, offering greater stability and less body roll during cornering.
Off-Road Capability
The Duster excels off-road with up to 217mm of ground clearance, impressive approach and departure angles, and a 4×4 Terrain Control system on 4×4 models, offering five modes to handle various conditions. The new Hill Descent Control system ensures smooth and controlled descents on steep terrain.
Powertrains and Performance
The All-New Duster is available with three engine options:
- Hybrid 140: A 1.6-liter petrol engine paired with two electric motors and a clutchless gearbox, offering up to 80% electric-only driving in urban areas and a reduction in fuel consumption by up to 40%.
