Duster face-lift revealed at Frankfurt Motor Show

Dacia showcased the new 2014 model of its successful Duster SUV at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. As can be seen from the image, the updated Duster features cosmetic changes to the front including a new grille featuring a double chrome strip design at the top coupled with a mesh air intake below and new double-optic headlights with daytime running lights. Other changes comprise new 16-inch dark metal alloy wheels, slightly altered tail light design, a chrome plated exhaust pipe and Duster branded roof rails. 

On the inside, the 2014 Dacia Duster is loaded with more equipment such as the new Dacia Media Nav multimedia system including Bluetooth and cruise control/speed limiter (depending on the model). Other new features are rear parking assist and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) fitted as standard on Euro 5 versions. Dacia is also offering a host of optional equipment for the Duster in European markets.

The 1.5 litre dCi diesel engine and the 1.2 litre direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine as well as the 1.6 litre petrol engine all remain unchanged for the new Dacia Duster
