Although its dimensions remain almost unchanged, the Duster continues to offer a rugged appearance that matches its reputation as an affordable SUV capable of handling off-road terrains. Dacia has made an effort to keep prices low, with values starting at less than $24.8k and reaching around $35.4k, aiming to offer good value for money compared to its competitors.
One of the main innovations in the 2024 Duster is the use of sustainable materials, such as Starkle, a coating made from 20% recycled plastics. The model also adopts the CMF-B platform from the Renault Group, allowing the inclusion of hybrid engines, increased connectivity, and compliance with the strict GSR2 safety regulations in Europe.
The engines range from a TCe 100 Bi-Fuel gasoline/LPG, to a mild hybrid TCe 130, and the new Hybrid 140, which combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor for greater fuel efficiency.
Inside, the Duster offers more space and practical features, such as the YouClip modular storage system, which allows various items to be attached within the cabin. Digitalization is also present with a 10.1-inch screen, electronic parking brake, and over-the-air software updates.
Despite these technological additions, the Duster remains a rugged SUV, retaining its ability to tackle tough terrains, reinforcing its position as one of the most affordable and capable SUVs on the market.
