The new Dacia Duster is an econo-4WD, apparently advised on the aforementioned belvedere as the Logan, Sandero, Logan Van, Logan MCV and Logan pick-up. It will be bogus in Romania for the European, Turkish and Maghreb markets, and will eventually be accessible in common markets as either a Renault or a Dacia. Back we allocution about worldwide, it isn’t common in the faculty that you’ll see it in ASEAN – countries acknowledgment to action the Duster eventually accommodate South America, Russia, the Middle East and Africa.
Three engines are accessible – two of them turbodiesels authoritative 85hp and 105hp. The petrol agent is a 1.6 liter assemblage authoritative 110hp. The 4WD arrangement is optional, so you alone buy it if you charge it, contrarily you can aloof opt for a 2 caster apprenticed version, which accumulated with a turbodiesel agent will afford beneath than 140g/km of CO2. The 4X4 versions don’t do so bad either, putting out beneath than 150g/km of CO2.
The 4X4 arrangement has three modes – AUTO, LOCK and 4X2. I accept the aftermost approach is self-explanatory. AUTO agency the advanced to rear arbor torque breach is assorted on the fly. By absence the AUTO approach alone drives the advanced auto and alone transfers ability to the rear arbor back it is needed. LOCK approach armament a 50:50 split, advised for low acceleration low anchor conditions.
The Duster is absolutely small, actuality aloof hardly added than a Kia Sportage but shorter. We acclimated to accept an economical 4WD like this in our country. It was alleged the Perodua Kembara, but that has back been replaced by the rather big-ticket Perodua Nautica. Now that abandoned is appealing abundant abandoned save for the CKD Chery Tiggo, but I’ve yet to see one on the road. Perhaps TC Euro Cars could accompany this babyish in as a Renault.
