New-look Duster from Dacia

By Gerry Murphy

Dacia Ireland has announced pricing and specification for the new Duster Phase 2, with changes to both the exterior and interior, as well as enhancements to the range and product offering.

A new trim level Prestige has also been added to the Duster range, following on from the popularity of the Signature Prime limited edition that was launched last year.

Duster Phase 2 gets a new refreshed look inside and out with a price increase of just €300. Prices start at €16,690 for the basic version rising to €21,890 for the Prestige version.

New headlamps are a great improvement with a more modern styling which is complemented with a new chrome grille.

There are changes to the interior trim, both Duster Alternative and Signature receiving new seat upholstery and it will be the first car in the Dacia range to feature factory-fit DAB.

The central section of the dashboard changes from light grey to dark carbon finish. There is also a new satin chrome centre console surround and the lower steering wheel insert changes from piano black to satin chrome finish, improving the perceived quality in the cabin.

Prestige will be available in both 4×2 and 4×4 and will be available for just €1200 more than Signature versions. It offers buyers the chance to own a more distinctive, more personalised car while remaining faithful to Dacia’s exceptional ‘shockingly affordable’ value-for-money ethos.

In addition to the Signature trim, Prestige will feature 16 inch TYROL diamond-cut alloy wheels which add a touch of class; MediaNav Evolution multimedia system; and rear parking camera, which includes parking sensors.
