Model guide

Dacia Duster overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The Dacia Duster features a rugged, contemporary exterior design characterized by a flat hood, prominent squared wheel arches, and slim headlights. A distinctive Y-shaped lighting signature is used in the tail lamps. The body is wrapped in protective cladding with front and rear skid plates highlighting its off-road capability. Ground clearance stands at a generous 209 mm, ensuring high practicality on unpaved roads.

Interior

Inside, the updated cabin includes a digital driver information cluster and a central touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone mirroring and voice assistant compatibility. The cargo capacity has expanded to 472 liters in the boot, making it more accommodating than the previous generation. Depending on the selected trim, features can include automatic climate control, a rearview camera, and a wireless charging pad.

Performance

The engine options are electrified to improve efficiency. The lineup features a 1.2-liter TCe mild-hybrid three-cylinder engine delivering 130 horsepower, available with either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox. For maximum efficiency, a full-hybrid 1.6-liter four-cylinder setup produces a combined 143 horsepower via a clutchless multimode automatic transmission. A 1.0-liter TCe dual-fuel engine running on gasoline and LPG is also available, producing 100 horsepower.

Practicality

The crossover offers high utility for daily duties. The 472-liter trunk offers practical storage space, and the high ground clearance of 209 mm helps navigate rough roads and high curbs. The choice of a dual-fuel LPG engine or hybrid powertrains allows buyers to optimize running costs depending on their typical driving routes.

Safety and tech

Equipped with the CMF-B platform's newer electrical architecture, the Duster offers driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control, autonomous city braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. The central multimedia screen provides intuitive control over vehicle settings and smartphone navigation.

Buyer notes

When selecting a Dacia Duster, buyers should note that the manual gearbox is standard on the 1.0 TCe LPG and 1.2 TCe engines. The 1.2 TCe is also the only engine paired with four-wheel drive. If you require an automatic transmission, you must choose the 1.6-liter hybrid. Exact equipment levels and standard features can vary based on regional markets.
