New Dacia Duster arrives with new design features

The year is 2021 and the majority of the automakers are focused on providing a pocket-friendly approach to their vehicles. Similar is the case with the affordable Dacia Duster that now gets a mid-cycle refresh in terms of its appeal and other such functionalities. 

Talking of the 2022 facelift, the Dacia Duster is now a completely revamped car in terms of its exterior, bringing in a number of changes to the SUV. 

Talking about the major area of changes,  the exterior of the car is all about revamped styling that brings it closer to the modern design approach. The car adapts heavily on the exterior, as the Duster gains additional chrome garnish on its grille. Besides all the additional chrome garnish that the car picks up, it also gets tweaked LED headlamps that are Y-shaped. 

Looking at the lights, one can surely say that the LED DRL signature has been influenced by the latest design feature that was adopted by Logan and Sandero. The car also gets a new rear spoiler that gives it a more aerodynamic approach, while lowering fuel consumption and reducing CO2 emissions.

The interior of the new Dacia Duster boasts a revised dashboard that makes room for a new eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The settings with dubbed media display are standard across all variants; the system is backed by six speakers, along with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Other changes inside the cabin include headrests, new upholstery, a high centre console, an onboard trip computer (multi-info display), cruise control with speed limiter, and automatic main beam activation as standard. 

Powering the vehicle is a TCe 150 engine, paired to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The mill is a 1.3L turbocharged four-cylinder petrol unit that is efficient to pump out 148 hp of power and 250 Nm of torque.

Lastly, the car is expected to hit the showrooms by late summer this year.
