Dacia Overhauls Duster Powertrains With New Hybrid 155 and Bi‑Fuel 4×4

UK orders open in November with year‑end availability targeted pending final certification and pricing.

Overview

  • Dacia confirms a refreshed Duster range featuring hybrid 155, mild hybrid 140, Eco‑G 120 and the new hybrid‑G 150 4×4 bi‑fuel, all compliant with EU6e‑bis.
  • The hybrid‑G 150 combines a 103 kW 1.2‑litre 48V front engine with a 23 kW rear electric motor for 113 kW total, using a dual‑clutch auto and a twin‑speed rear gearbox capable of electric driving up to 140 kph.
  • Dacia claims the bi‑fuel 4×4 cuts running costs by about 30% versus the previous mild‑hybrid 130 4×4, delivers up to 1,500 km WLTP range from two 50‑litre tanks, and posts 116–118 g/km CO2 on LPG, with certification pending.
  • The hybrid 155 is quoted at 4.6 l/100 km and 105 g/km CO2, while the mild hybrid 140 targets 5.4 l/100 km and 122 g/km, replacing the outgoing hybrid 140 and mild hybrid 130 units.
  • Journey trim adds new upholstery and driver’s lumbar support and Extreme gains black 18‑inch alloys; reporting differs on whether adaptive cruise control is standard on both or only standard on Journey.
