Overview

• Dacia introduces the Hybrid‑G 150 4×4, combining a 1.2‑litre 48V mild‑hybrid front engine with a rear electric motor and dual petrol‑LPG tanks, a setup it calls a world first.
• The rear motor uses a twin‑speed gearbox and a disengageable axle, AWD operates up to 140 km/h, and a 6‑speed dual‑clutch automatic with paddle shifters debuts for the brand.
• Alongside the new AWD bi‑fuel option, the Duster range adds a hybrid 155 (4.6 l/100 km, 105 g/km CO2) to replace the hybrid 140 and a mild‑hybrid 140 with a new 1.2‑litre Miller‑cycle engine (5.4 l/100 km, 122 g/km).
• An Eco‑G 120 LPG variant replaces Eco‑G 100, with manufacturer claims of about 10% lower CO2 than an equivalent petrol engine and up to 1,380 km combined range from two 50‑litre tanks.
• Order books and pricing are due in November with European sales targeted by year‑end pending certification, and Duster also gains new Journey upholstery with lumbar support, 18‑inch black wheels for Extreme, and adaptive cruise control on hybrid trims; Australian specifications remain unconfirmed.
