Dacia has become the only car manufacturer
in the United Kingdom to offer a factory-fitted bi-fuel solution in its lineup,
with the introduction of this new powertrain. Available in the Sandero, Sandero
Stepway, Logan MCV, Logan MCV Stepway and Duster, the 1.0-liter turbocharged
100 PS mill combines petrol and LPG for “reduced fuel costs,
lower emissions and improved performance without compromising on quality”.
All models feature an LPG tank where the
spare wheel was normally found, with a 32-liter capacity in all
models but the SUV, where it has 34 liters. The placement of the
additional tank does not eat into the boot space capacity and lets users enjoy
a maximum range of up to 1,000 km before stopping for fuel.
In the Sandero, the new powertrain is
offered for the Essential and Comfort grades, priced at £ 9,095 and £ 10,095 respectively. The Sandero Stepway adds the
SE Twenty trim level too and is priced between £ 10,295 and
£ 11,695. The Logan MCV and Logan MCV Stepway Bi-Fuel mirror
the trim levels of the hatchback and will set you back £10,595 for the regular estate and £ 12,795 for the
jacked-up Stepway.
As far as the Duster Bi-Fuel goes, you can
choose between Essential, Comfort, SE Twenty and Prestige specs. Pricing starts
at £ 12,895 and grows to £ 14,395 and £ 15,045 for the two mid-spec variants, while the top-of-the-line
version costs £ 15,595.
