Dacia Duster

Denouncing its offer, Dacia launches an unprecedented engine on its Duster and Bigster SUVs.

Named Hybrid-G 150 4×4, this new Dacia powertrain combines hybrid, bi-fuel LPG, and all-wheel drive, a combination never seen before on the market.

Under the hood, there is a 1.2-liter 48V mild-hybrid gasoline engine of 140 hp, supported by an electric motor positioned on the rear axle (up to 31 hp). The combined power reaches 154 hp, with a generous torque of 230 Nm for the thermal engine and 87 Nm for the electric. The 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, complemented by paddle shifters on the steering wheel, promises an unprecedented driving experience on a Duster.

The innovation continues at the rear with an electric transmission equipped with a two-speed gearbox. This technology ensures high torque at low speeds, useful for off-road driving, while optimizing traction up to 140 km/h. Another advantage is that the rear axle can be disengaged to reduce friction and therefore fuel consumption during road use.

Cost savings at your fingertips thanks to LPG

Thanks to its 48V battery of 0.84 kWh, the new powertrain allows driving up to 60% of the time in electric mode in city driving. Add to that a record autonomy: with two 50-liter tanks (gasoline and LPG), the Duster can cover up to 1,500 km according to the WLTP cycle. A feat that comes with substantial savings. LPG, at less than €1/l in France, reduces operating costs by about 30% despite slightly higher fuel consumption compared to gasoline.

Regarding fuel consumption specifically, Dacia announces 5.5 to 5.6 l/100 km for gasoline and 7.1 to 7.2 l/100 km for LPG, with CO₂ emissions reduced by up to 20 g compared to the current 4×4 Duster. Having tested the previous model, you can expect these figures to increase by about 25% under normal usage, but they remain excellent.

To adapt to all conditions, six driving modes are offered: Auto, Eco, Snow, Mud/Sand, Lock, and Hill Descent Control. A lineup that confirms the Duster remains a true adventurer, now even more versatile and economical.

The launch of this engine is planned by the end of the year, both on the Duster and on the upcoming Bigster. A new step for Dacia, which continues to surprise by offering accessible and innovative solutions.
