Dacia Duster offers a good performance, equipment and interior space package for its price. Although Dacia Duster’s price is that of a city car, its exterior and
interior dimensions are those of compact cars in the next segment up. The Dacia Duster range features a choice of frugal engines which combine low
fuel consumption (the diesel dCi 85 4×2 version offers combined cycle fuel consumption of just 5.1 l/100 km) with low maintenance costs.
Dacia Duster, in its 4×4 version, is aimed at motorists seeking an everyday car with genuine off-road ability. The 4×2 version has been designed for customers who want good ground clearance and a reassuring elevated driving position, as well as loose-surface ability.
Today’s all-terrain vehicles are often synonymous with bulk, but Dacia Duster is an antidote to that idea. With a length of 4.31 metres and a width of 1.82 metres, Dacia Duster is very compact. Its Megane-size 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.
The strengthened underside of Dacia Duster is suitable for loose-surfaces and all-terrain use thanks to:
- ground clearance raised by 210mm,
- short overhangs (822mm at the front, 820mm at the rear),
- big clearance angles (30 degrees for approach angle; 23 degrees for ramp breakover angle 36 degrees for departure angle).
Dacia Duster is a vehicle that is easy to use. It is lightweight for its size: 1,160kg for the 4×2 version and 1,250kg for the 4×4 version.
Inside, the elevated driving position provides a better view of potential hazards and improves the driver’s ability to anticipate problems.
