Turbocharged Dacia Duster can now be ordered in the United Kingdom
Dacia has announced official pricing for the new Duster fitted with the brand’s 1.3-liter turbocharged petrol engine.
The new powerplant can be had in two flavours – 130 hp/240Nm or 150 hp/250 Nm – and uses a lighter aluminum block and bore spray coating to boost heat management, performance and efficiency.
Dacia also fitted the mill with a gasoline particulate filter. Moreover, both the TCe 130 engine and the more potent Tce 150 unit are said to release 137g of CO2/km and return 47 mpg (according to the WLTP cycle).
For now, the two 1.3-liter engines are available with a six-speed manual in 2WD configuration, but Dacia’s press release mentions that “both TCe 130 and TCe 150 will be available in 4×4 drivetrains from mid-2019.”
The TCe 130 can be had in Comfort and Prestige spec, with starting prices of £14,395 and £15,695, respectively. TCe 150, however, is only available with the range-topping Prestige spec and starts at £16,295.
