2017 Dacia Duster
Dacia will launch their 2017MY Duster
SUV in Prestige dCi110 4x2 guise at the Moving Motor Show held during the
Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 23rd.
The Duster has received a number of
exterior and interior upgrades, as well as the new range-topping Prestige
version. The most obvious change s the revised front end styling with new
headlights. There's also a new 1.2 TCe 125 engine available, complimenting the
existing 1.6 SCe 115 unit.
The new turbocharged 125 PS petrol engine
provides 205 Nm of torque and can return up to 46.3 mpg
(6.1l/100 km) as long as you're driving the 4x2 version. As for CO2 emissions,
they sit firmly at 138 g/km.
Dacia have made the new engine available
on Laureate trim and above, which means that UK customers can now have a choice
of either petrol or diesel at every trim level.
There have been upgrades in terms of
standard equipment and new interior upholstery across all trim levels.
Ambiance-spec models now get DAB radio as standard, while other versions get a
new dark carbon finish for the dashboard, new satin chrome center console
surround and the steering wheel inserts to match it.
The options list has grown
as well with 16" Tyrol diamond-cut alloys, rear parking sensors (a factory-fit
option) and a rear parking camera, though the latter is only available as an
option on Laureate trim and above. Customers will also be able to spec their
car with the new part-leather 'Aspira' upholstery and choose a new exterior
color called Pennine Green.
Buyers of the Prestige will get 16"
alloys, the MediaNav Evolution system with 7" touchscreen and sat-nav and
rear-parking camera as standard. The Prestige costs £900 more than the
Laureate, saving the customer £ 250 compared to adding the extra equipment to
the lower trim level.
Prices for the updated Duster range
start from £ 9,495 including taxes.
