Used Dacia Duster Information

Engines and transmissions

Over the years, Dacia has provided the Duster with a wide range of powertrain options, including petrol, LPG and diesel, yet the focus has always been on cost-effectiveness.

Petrol

• 1.0-litre turbocharged motor (TCe 100) puts out 100bhp and can be equipped with the LPG Bi-Fuel option to create a 620-mile range, both with a five-speed manual.
• Bi-Fuel configuration can save drivers money on petrol, and it emits less CO2.
• TCe 130 outputs 130bhp with a six-speed manual.
• TCe 150 produces 150bhp, offering the fastest 0-60 mph time of 9.7 seconds.
• Petrol engines are reasonably efficient, with ratings around 40 mpg, depending on the variant.

Diesel

• 115bhp 1.5-litre engine is available with four-wheel drive.
• Efficiency jumps to about 60.1 mpg, with CO2 emissions rated at 123g/km.

Practicality

The Duster is great to drive around town or on longer trips because of the comfortable cabin, but it's going to lack some of the same tech features found in higher-priced models.

Interior space

• Large dimensions allow for room to stretch out.
• Four adults fit comfortably in the two-row SUV.
• Rear-middle seat is better suited to a smaller child or adult.

Boot space

• 445-litre boot available with most variants.
• 411-litre boot on four-wheel drive models.
• LPG models don't reduce the boot space but don't have a spare wheel.

Safety

• Euro NCAP ratings show that the Duster isn't the safest option, with only three stars.
• Lack of modern driver-assist technology makes it less desirable.
• Standard equipment includes automatic headlights, various airbags, rear parking sensors and emergency brake assist.

Technology

• Updated technology is lacking in base models.
• Available 8-inch touchscreen display is simple to use.
• Apple CarPlay & Android Auto make connectivity a breeze.

Generations

Although the Dacia Duster has been found the streets of continental Europe since 2010, it only made its way to the UK in 2013. It was offered as a budget-friendly option to compete against Kia, Hyundai and Skoda. It immediately became a success because of its affordable price tag. Across the years, it has seen three generations and a couple of mid-life refreshes.

Third Generation (2023-present)

A new design features a Y on the front LED daytime running lamps, doubling as turn signals, which are integrated into the headlights. The striking bumper style features an unpainted black centre paired with a scratch-resistant lower portion, produced from 20% recycled materials. While the proportions of the Duster haven't changed, it has moved slightly lower to the ground to offer sportier handling. It has a practical cabin with the option to add high-tech equipment.

Second Generation (2017-2023)

Sporting new body panels across the entire model, the Duster also includes a honeycomb grille and updated headlights. LED signature headlights divide into three portions, and there's a chrome badge for all-wheel drive variants. With more tilting to the windshield than the first generation, it features a new style that keeps the SUV looking modern. In 2021, the Duster received a mild refresh that included Y-shaped signature running lights, a redesigned rear spoiler and new taillights with the Y-shaped feature. An 8-inch touchscreen was added as an option, and the centre armrest received some much-needed improvement.

First Generation (2013-2017)

The Duster didn't arrive in the UK until 2013, followed by a refresh that offered some upgrades to the powertrain options. Additionally, Dacia increased the insulation to alleviate some complaints about engine and road noises filtering into the cabin. These models built on the already immense success of the roomy and practical cabin of earlier Dusters.
