Dacia Duster brings the “e-Hybrid” technology even to the real off-road vehicle.
The Dacia’s “super hybrid” is the 154 hp three-fuel system that also includes all-wheel drive and electronically managed automatic transmission. The Hybrid-G 150 4×4 (with a wading depth of 45 centimeters and approach and departure angles of 31 and 36 degrees) is currently unique and is offered on the Duster (but also on the Bigster) starting from €28,500. The powertrain is based on a 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with front-wheel drive producing 140 hp, which can also be fueled by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a less expensive and more sustainable option (over fifteen kilometers per CO2 less per kilometer). This is combined with a rear electric unit with a maximum power of 31 hp and a lithium-ion battery of 0.84 kWh for energy recovery during deceleration and braking. This means the Duster can circulate in zero-emission mode, which, according to tests conducted by the manufacturer, can reach up to 60% of the time in urban environments.
The engine’s torque is 230 Nm, while that of the electric motor (non-cumulative) is 87. The transmission is a six-speed dual-clutch (front) with two ratios on the rear engine: “Gear changes are quick, the steering-wheel controls allow for immediate control in off-road or towing situations, and the “N” mode disengages the clutch to reduce friction when front-wheel drive traction is sufficient,” Dacia promises. The two ratios on the rear electric motor are a major innovation in the segment, guaranteeing high torque at low speeds as well as the speed of the electric unit at high speeds, “extending the 4×4 coverage to 140 km/h, always with maximum efficiency.”
The Duster is paired with 48-Volt mild hybrid technology that limits the consumption of thermal units to the rationality of LPG, which costs half as much as gasoline and a third as much as diesel. Equipped this way, the SUV is accredited with a range of up to 1,500 kilometers thanks to 50-liter tanks (one for LPG and one for gasoline) with respective consumption figures of 14.1 and 18.2 liters per 100 kilometers. “These combination of innovative technologies guarantee performance, operational savings and off-road capabilities, making Dacia’s SUV suitable for urban use as well as long trips and adventure,” the manufacturer assures.
Several driving modes are also provided, which the driver can select based on usage: Auto, for automatic 4×2/4×4 management during daily use, Eco, which prioritizes electric start-up and fuel savings, Snow, for greater control on slippery and snowy surfaces, Mud / Sand for optimized dynamics on muddy paths, Lock, for maximum traction during off-road driving at low speeds, and Hill Descent Control, for controlling descents between 3 and 30 km/h. The maximum speed of this version is 180 km/h with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 10.2 seconds. With the repair kit (i.e., without the spare wheel), the luggage capacity ranges from 400 to 1,527 liters depending on the position of the seats in the second row.
