2024 Dacia Duster

2024 Dacia Duster

The end of 2023 is approaching, when Dacia will premiere the third generation of Dacia Duster. This news will certainly please the enthusiasts of the Romanian brand, which recently celebrated the record of 8 million vehicles sold worldwide.

Dacia Duster on the European market has seen a growth in demand with more than 197,000 units delivered and over 2 million in the last 13 years, making it the company’s best-selling SUV. Dacia’s best-selling car in Europe is the Sandero.

The manufacturer has not yet announced the official date of the premiere, and some sources state that it could be November 29 when Dacia will present its long-term plans. The company has big ambitions to expand its business by entering the New Zealand and Australian markets.

The new generation of Duster should bring a lot of technological innovations but also a new design. It will be built on the modern CMF-B platform, will have a new front fascia and will be longer (4.4 – 4.5 meters) than its predecessor, which gives much more space for passengers. Some rumors say that Dacia could optionally offer more luxurious equipment such as a panoramic sunroof, a large touchscreen, a 360-degree parking camera and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

The new Dacia Duster, for the European market, will be powered by a 1.2 3-cylinder MHEV engine with 130 hp (97 kW), paired with a manual transmission. From 2025, a 4×4 LPG gasoline engine should arrive, and a stronger 1.3-liter turbo gasoline engine paired with an automatic transmission.

When it comes to price, the current Duster costs 16,000 euros, but it can be expected that the new generation will be somewhat more expensive (around 22,000 euros) due to increased production costs.
