Dacia Announces UK Launch for 2012 – DUSTER The Compact Off-road

Dacia has already taken many markets by storm within months for UK launching at end of 2012, With the unveiling of its new Duster compact off-roader in Switzerland, Dacia now offers a five-model range, appealing to a wide cross-section of buyers.

Dacia Duster 4×4 is equipped with a new six-speed gearbox with a very short first ratio (5.79kph per 1,000 rpm). This simple solution allows the vehicle to travel at very slow speed on uneven terrain, and improves performance as you pull away from standstill with heavy loads or on steep slopes, Servicing and maintenance costs have been significantly reduced thanks to extended service intervals for oil changes, and brake pad and tyre replacements. The useful life of the air filters has been extended to 90,000km/four years for petrol versions, while that for diesel it has gone from 40,000km to 60,000km.

Duster will be available with a choice of three powerplants for both the 4×2 and 4×4 versions: one petrol engine (1.6 16V 110hp) and two diesel engines (dCi 85 and dCi 110). The strengths of these engines have already been demonstrated under the bonnet of many Renault group vehicles. These engines are a perfect fit for the criteria of cost, reliability and easy maintenance that are hallmarks of the Dacia brand.

Duster is an international vehicle, both in terms of its markets and production. It will be rolled out progressively in different global regions in the same way as Logan and Sandero.
