Dacia introduces its fully electric All-New Dacia...
Introducing the New Dacia Duster Hybrid, featuring enhanced sustainability with the integration of eco-friendly materials and hybrid powertrains. Loaded with cutting-edge technologies aimed at elevating safety and comfort levels, this model represents a significant leap forward. Yet, amidst these advancements, the Duster remains true to its essence as a family-oriented SUV, offering unparalleled value for money within its segment.
The All-New Duster’s design remains consistent, evolving with contemporary trends while seamlessly blending its adventurous spirit with a sustainable ethos.
The front and rear skid plates undergo a process known as mass dyeing, where the plastic receives its colour during injection molding. This environmentally-friendly method not only benefits the planet but also ensures that minor scrapes and scratches do not compromise the original colour, offering lasting appeal to customers.
Constructed from a robust material named Starkle®, the side underbody shields, wheel-arch guards, hallmarks, front bumper triangles, as well as the front and rear skid plates, and rear shield tail are all crafted with up to 20% recycled content. Engineered by Dacia’s specialists in collaboration with chemists from LyondellBasell, this material, first introduced with the Manifesto concept car, showcases a distinctive speckled appearance due to the inclusion of white particles. Dacia has opted to proudly display this natural aesthetic rather than applying paint, further emphasising its commitment to sustainability.
All-New Dacia Duster HYBRID 140: This powertrain, introduced for the Jogger in early 2023 by Dacia, is now available with the All-New Duster. It is engineered with technologies that the Renault Group has extensively tested and incorporates a 4-cylinder, 1.6-litre, 94 hp petrol engine, two electric motors (a 49 hp powerplant and a high-voltage starter generator), and an electric automatic gearbox (featuring 4 engine ratios and 2 motor ratios). This integrated technology is made possible by the system being clutchless. Thanks to regenerative braking, the high energy recovery capacity of the 1.2 kWh (230 V) battery, and the gearbox's efficiency, it can operate in all-electric mode for up to 80% of the time in urban areas, resulting in a 20% reduction in consumption (mixed cycle) to 40% (urban cycle). The engine always initiates with electric power.
All-New Dacia Duster TCe 130: This marks the first time Dacia has utilised this powertrain, which offers an initial level of electrification. It combines a new-generation 3-cylinder, 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine employing the Miller cycle (reduced pump losses optimise efficiency) with a 48 V mild hybrid motor. This motor assists the internal combustion engine during start-ups or acceleration, decreasing average consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately 10% compared to an equivalent power internal combustion engine. It also delivers more power during acceleration than the current TCe 130 model, providing a more responsive and smoother driving experience. The regenerative braking system charges the 0.9 kWh battery without noticeably affecting the driver. The TCe 130 powertrain is available with a 6-speed manual gearbox in both the 4x2 and 4x4 versions.
All-New Dacia Duster TCe 100 Bi-Fuel: Dacia, the undisputed LPG leader in Europe, is the sole automaker to offer a dual fuel (petrol and LPG) option on all its internal combustion models, under the Bi-Fuel designation. The All-New Duster comes equipped with this tried and tested technology, ensuring safety and reliability. When operating on LPG, the All-New Duster TCe 100 Bi-Fuel emits on average 10% less CO2 than a comparable petrol engine. It can travel up to 1,300 km (WLTP) with its two tanks holding a total of 100 litres – 50 litres of petrol and 50 litres of LPG (the latter is located beneath the boot floor, preserving cargo capacity). A seamlessly integrated button on the dashboard switches the engine between fuels instantly and imperceptibly.
MORE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS All-New Duster is the pioneer production model to incorporate Starkle®, a novel material developed by Dacia's engineers. Comprising 20% reused polypropylene and entirely paint-free, its production process results in a smaller carbon footprint. Starkle® is used in the side underbody shields, wheel-arch guards, hallmarks, and triangles on the front bumper, as well as the front and rear skid plates and rear shield tail. Additionally, manufacturing the front and rear skid plates with dyed-in-the-mass material reduces the quantity of paint utilised in the process.
