Dacia Duster Cars
The Dacia Duster is a compact SUV that offers a great value proposition. The car comes with a range of petrol and diesel engine options, all of which are available in New Zealand. The base model comes with a 1.6-litre petrol engine that delivers 84 kW of power and 156 Nm of torque. For those who want more power, there's also a turbocharged 1.3-litre petrol engine option that produces 110 kW and 250 Nm.
One of the biggest selling points of the Dacia Duster is its ground clearance, which stands at 210mm. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to venture off-road or tackle rough terrain. The car's all-wheel-drive system also helps in this regard, providing plenty of grip on slippery surfaces.
In terms of space, the Dacia Duster has plenty to offer. There's enough room for five adults to sit comfortably, and the boot can hold up to 445 litres of luggage. With the rear seats folded down, this increases to an impressive 1,623 litres.
Safety features on the Dacia Duster include anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control (TC), hill start assist (HSA) and emergency brake assist (EBA). It also scored a respectable four stars out of five in Euro NCAP crash tests.
Overall, the Dacia Duster is a well-built SUV that offers excellent value for money. It's ideal for those who want something practical and reliable without breaking the bank. Its ruggedness makes it well-suited for New Zealand driving conditions, where many roads can be challenging due to their hilly nature or poor road quality outside main cities or towns.The ample ground clearance ensures that it can navigate over bumps or obstacles easily and the availability of all-wheel-drive provides additional confidence when driving on slippery roads or during wet weather conditions.
