Driving details for Dacia Duster

After we were deceived in the past than with presenting us Duster’s competition, here Like the Dacia Duster “the road is ready and we are revealing. What you say … did not expect. Congrats Dacia. The model does not look bad at all. Here we have and the first 4 × 4 with the novel will do the job wherever you use your car. We expect and hope that prices will not disappoint as a model for after all the deposits in banks with little more limited. But let’s see what this is about.

At least the image we see a robust model with a front “strong”, with a high ground clearance, with elements of protection for the body, exactly what I say: only a good model out for bad roads, whether roads or unpaved roads. However too many differences between them are not. So Duster will do the job. It measures 4310 mm long, 1820 mm width, and weight 4 × 2 version is 1180 kilograms and the 4 × 4, 1180 kilograms.

Duster boasts a great versatility in rough terrain and this thanks to a command coming from Nissan. It is a command that allows the driver to choose from 3 modes of running: Auto, Lock and 4 × 2. Let us talk a little about each.

Depending on the terms of grip, torque distribution is automatic in the sense that under normal conditions the torque is transmitted only the front wheels and the loss of adhesion to various reasons, some of the torque goes to the rear axle. If it is not just one paved road and go to extreme conditions, the torque will be distributed equally, 50-50 on each deck.
Lock mode. Module 4 × 4 is closed by the driver, 50 percent of torque is transferred to the rear axle. Indication of manufacturer: use on snow, mud, dirt, sand and the smallest rate.
4 × 2 mode. Good for running on roads and to reduce fuel consumption.

Ok. To see and how we the engine. We say we have versions 2 and 4 × 4 × 4 which will be equipped with two diesel engines, a 1.5-liter dCi 85 hp and a 1.5-liter dCi 105 hp, but a gas station and 1.6-liter 16v 110 PA. If I had to take the example of Diesel’s, 4 × 2 version will have CO2 emissions below 140 g / km and 4 × 4 version, the 150 g / km.

Depending on the version, Duster will provide up to 475-liter trunk and rear seat if rabateaza, the capacity will be slightly exceeded 1600 liters.

The chapter certainly talk about ABS, EBV (electronic brake force distributing) and AFU (Emergency Brake Assist), but the three-point safety belts, front and side airbags.

Duster will be manufactured at its plant and Mioveni from spring next year the model will be sold in Turkey and in several of the countries of North Africa. Will follow in June Ukraine, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and others, but here Duster will be sold under the Renault brand.

Price has not yet been revealed, but those of Dacia say it probably will not exceed € 14,000. I think the 14,000 euros is somewhere in between, and the tip will be to 17-19.000 euros. I hope I am wrong.
