Reinventing the Wheel: Dacia’s Bold New Duster
Dacia has just lifted the curtain on the third generation of its iconic Duster, and it’s a head-turner! The latest iteration of this family SUV is a testament to Dacia’s commitment to robust design and outdoor adventure, while taking a significant leap in sustainable materials and hybrid technology.
The All-New Duster is not just a revamp; it’s a revolution in the SUV market, offering the best value for money in its segment. This isn’t Dacia’s first rodeo. The Duster has been a mainstay in the SUV market since 2010, and its latest model promises to continue the legacy.
The British public is already buzzing with excitement, and it’s easy to see why. The new Duster combines the rugged charm of its predecessors with a fresher, more assertive design.
Design That Speaks Volumes
The All-New Duster is a masterclass in design, blending simplicity with functionality. Dacia’s design philosophy shines through in every curve and line of the vehicle.
The cabin, bonnet, and wings come together in a harmonious design that’s both modern and robust. What’s more, the vehicle’s exterior features sustainable materials like Starkle, a recyclable material that adds to the Duster’s eco-friendly credentials.
Interior-wise, the All-New Duster doesn’t disappoint. The cabin is designed with ergonomics in mind, featuring a high, vertical dashboard and air vents that mirror the car’s exterior. The 10.1-inch centre screen, positioned for optimal driver visibility, and user-friendly automatic transmission controls are just the cherries on top.
The CMF-B Platform: A Game Changer
The CMF-B platform is the backbone of the All-New Duster, ensuring a comfortable and quiet ride. This innovative platform, first seen in Dacia’s Sandero and Logan models, provides more space for passengers and luggage, making it ideal for family outings.
The platform also paves the way for Dacia’s journey into electrification, supporting mild-hybrid and full-hybrid technologies.
Off-Road Adventures Await
For those who love the thrill of off-road driving, the All-New Duster’s 4×4 Terrain Control transmission is a dream come true. With various driving settings including Auto, Snow, Mud/Sand, Off-Road, and Eco, the vehicle is equipped to handle any terrain.
Its ground clearance and approach and departure angles are unmatched in its class, making it a formidable companion for any outdoor adventure.
Sustainable, Yet Powerful
Dacia is leading the charge in eco-friendly driving with its new hybrid powertrains. The All-New Duster HYBRID 140, for instance, offers up to 80% electric driving in urban areas, significantly reducing fuel consumption. The TCe 130 and TCe 100 Bi-Fuel models are equally impressive, providing power with reduced emissions.
Smart Technology for a Smarter Drive
The All-New Duster is loaded with smart technology that makes driving a breeze. The new infotainment system, available in various trims, includes features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, real-time traffic updates, and a six-speaker Arkamys 3D Sound System.
The 7-inch digital dashboard is a notable addition, allowing drivers to customize their display preferences.
Comfort and Convenience at Your Fingertips
Comfort is key in the All-New Duster. The switch to the CMF-B platform means more space inside, especially for the rear passengers. The vehicle is equipped with an array of amenities including an electric parking brake, a heated steering wheel, and a windscreen de-icing system.
The ingenious YouClip system adds a practical touch, allowing for easy accessory storage within the cabin.
A Trim for Every Taste
The All-New Duster comes in three trim levels: Essential, Expression, and the choice between Extreme and Journey. Each trim is tailored to different preferences, whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or someone who values understated elegance. The All-New Duster is more than just a car; it’s a statement.
With its mix of rugged design, innovative technology, and commitment to sustainability, it’s set to redefine what we expect from SUVs. For those in the UK looking to experience this blend of style and substance, the All-New Duster is an opportunity not to be missed. Stay tuned, because Dacia is definitely changing the game with this one!
