The French Motor1 website has posted patent shots of the third-generation Dacia Duster. The crossover SUV looks larger than the current version and incorporates many stylistic traits of the Bigster Concept.
Among other things, the new Duster sports
an impressive front bumper with a larger air intake, a narrow radiator grille,
reshaped LED headlights with Y-patterns, plastic door moldings, and concealed
door handles at the back. The car looks both longer and wider than the current
version, but the specifics remain to be announced.
With the new generation, the Duster moves
to a unibody platform known as CMF-B. In its base spec, it will use a 1.0-liter
turbo engine rated at 120 PS. The middle spec will offer 1.2
liters of displacement and 140 PS, and the top spec will
deliver 170 PS from 1.3 liters of volume.
The official premiere will take place in
Portugal on November 29, 2023. Sales in Europe will start in Q1 2024.
