Dacia Duster 2 was a market success that lasted almost three years. Now, it seems that Renault is preparing for a surprise. Duster fans will be happy to know that a model will appear on the market. The new model will come with the same name, Dacia Duster, but the third version. In other words, the Romanians will have Dacia Duster 3.
Renault prepares for the Dacia Duster 3
If until now there were only rumors, here and there, it seems that this time the rumors come true. According to Profit.ro, Dacia Duster 3 will materialize faster than expected. The aforementioned post talks about a platform change for the popular Duster. It is the CMF-B platform, already used in the new Renault Nissan Mitsubishi models. The platform should not be a novelty for those who already have a new Logan, Sandero, Lodgy or MCV model in the garage.
The move of the Dacia Duster 3 on this platform has as justification for the French manufacturer the economy in supply and production. The new Dacia Duster 3 could arrive faster than other models, more than seven years after the launch of the first model.
Duster 3 without traction 4 × 4
The folks at Profit.ro also give bad news, especially fans of 4 × 4 drive. It seems that Renault has chosen not to put on the new 4 × 4 model with all-wheel drive. It seems that this option is limited to the new CMF-B platform.
In fact, none of the models built under the auspices of the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance, with CMF-B as a platform, has incorporated the complete 4 × 4 system. With the launch of the new Duster model, diesel propulsion will be abandoned, so the only option will be only gasoline.
Therefore, Dacia Duster 3 is expected to be a Cross sleek, unfortunately without notable off-road performance. It is clear that new safety technologies will be the ones to be updated, and the design will be similar to that of the Dacia Sandero Stepway, the new model whose design is still being worked on.
The engine part will be well optimized, economical, benefiting from new technologies to reduce consumption. Those at Profit.ro say the new Duster will also benefit from two hybrid engines, one from the E-Tech family, but also a possible 48V mild hybrid.
We have nothing to do but wait for new technical, design and pricing information, but only after Renault officially announces the launch date of the new Duster model.
