About the Dacia Duster Mk3
The third-generation Dacia Duster marks a significant shift for the brand, moving to the Renault Group's CMF-B platform to offer improved refinement and modern technology. The TCe 130 variant introduces a 48V mild-hybrid system to the 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine, providing a torque boost during acceleration and improved efficiency. In Journey trim, the Duster balances its utilitarian roots with modern comforts like an 18-inch alloy wheel set, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and a multi-view camera. It remains a standout for its 'Starkle' recycled plastic cladding and honest, no-nonsense approach to family motoring.
