Dacia Duster, The Affordable Off- Roader

Cia has launched its sixth model: the Dacia Duster, a robust, spacious, easy-to-use off-roader.

Today's all-terrain vehicles are often synonymous with bulk, but Dacia Duster is the antidote. With a length of 4.31 metres and a width of 1.82 metres, Dacia Duster is very compact.

Its Mégane-sized proportions ensure that it is as at home in built-up areas as it is off the beaten track. While it clearly belongs to the world of all-terrain vehicles, Dacia Duster’s lines are not ostentatious.

Dacia Duster is unmistakably a 4x4. From the front, it exudes an impression of toughness: the wide wheel arches, the imposing lines of the chrome grille and lower bumper protection clearly emphasise the 4x4 DNA of Dacia Duster.

Seen from the side, the high ground clearance, clearly defined wheel arches and protective mouldings encourage the driver to tackle even the toughest roads and tracks.

With the Look Pack, Dacia Duster owners can further enhance the vehicle's style. This pack includes 16-inch aluminium alloy wheels, roof bars, extra-tinted rear windows, and satin-finish chrome exterior mirrors, front and rear skid plates, and sills.

A comprehensive range of accessories including extended wheel arches, broad side protectors for doors, sill protection bars is also available.

Inside, the elevated driving position provides a better view of potential hazards. The interior echoes the core values of the Dacia brand: the dashboard is modern, uncluttered and functional.

Its design varies according to version, and several areas can be modified with different colours or surface finishes.

Particular attention has been paid to ergonomics to ensure that the controls are conveniently positioned and that driving data is easy to read: the well-placed, intuitive 4x4 control button is a perfect example of this.

Further details regarding Dacia’s arrival in the UK, including pricing and dealer network will be announced at a later date.
