Dacia announces prices and specs for new Duster

Dacia has revealed full details of its second-generation Duster, which goes on sale this month.

The budget SUV has been completely redesigned, with not a single body panel carried over from the old model.

Inside the dashboard and cabin have been revised to improve comfort and quality and there is a suite of new safety technology for the first time.

There are four trim levels to choose from; Access, Essential, Comfort and Prestige. Core features include LED daytime running lights, eco mode with stop/start, new full length curtain airbags and ISOFIX points in the rear.

Access trim starts at £9,995 and features 16-inch steel wheels and electric front windows. Essential trim, available from £11,595, adds body coloured bumpers, manual air conditioning, heat adjustable driver’s seat, DAB radio with steering-column mounted controls and Bluetooth.

Comfort trim, starting at £13,195, brings 16-inch alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, rear parking camera and sensors, electric front and rear windows, heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors, a 7-inch media and navigation.

At the top of the range, the £14,395 Prestige version adds 17-inch alloy, multi-view camera, blind spot warning, climate control and keyless entry.

The Duster’s engine line-up is simple with a choice of 114bhp petrol or diesel units. The petrol can be specified with four-wheel-drive and both come with a six-speed manual gearbox.
