DACIA unveils all-new Duster with LPG-powered version

The All-New Dacia Duster opens the next chapter in the story of a model that has grown into a standard-setter in its market, according the manufacturer. In its 13-year-long career, this model has been awarded more than 40 accolades, production stands at 2.2 million units and counting, and it is steadily increasing in popularity, ranking as Europe’s best-selling SUV across all segments in the retail market in 2022.

The Dacia Duster is described as ‘Robust and Outdoor’, ‘Essential but Cool’, and ‘Eco-Smart’. And the new version highlights its Eco-Smart feature, as it is “more sustainable and as affordable as ever,” noted the brand.

True to Dacia’s values, the All-New Duster provides an affordable alternative for more sustainable driving, combining new alternative fuel and hybrid powertrains and more recycled materials.

“The All-New Dacia Duster TCe 100 Bi-Fuel is the unchallenged Autogas leader in Europe,” said the company and described itself as the only carmaker to provide a bi-fuel (petrol and LPG) option on all its internal-combustion models, under the bi-fuel label.

The All-New Duster TCe 100 option comes with this built-in tried and tested technology that guarantees safety and reliability. When running on Autogas, on average it releases 10% less CO2 than a comparable petrol engine.

Moreover, it can drive up to 1,300 km (WLTP) with its two tanks holding 100 litres between them – 50 litres of petrol and 50 litres of LPG (the latter is under the boot floor, so it does not affect cargo capacity). A button built seamlessly into the dashboard switches the engine from one fuel to the other instantly and imperceptibly.
