Buying a car was a sign of financial well-being, social position, and success. Either because of the purchasing power of young people, because of their ease in finding other methods of travel or the lack of love for the car, this representation is in low hours. Hence, firms that are committed to consistency, the right price and functionality are living their best time. An example of this is Dacia, which since it appeared on the market a decade ago has not stopped reaping good commercial results. We recently told you about the latest update to the Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway, but the Duster is the true SUV in the range . A model that we have been able to test in its LPG version with a Prestige finish.
The unit that I have driven is not the newest, which will arrive from September with a more avant-garde design but the same philosophy . The changes in the Duster 2021 are concentrated in the front, which incorporates a new lighting signature with LED-type indicators. It also seems to be more elongated due to the inclination of the rear window, but it maintains the same dimensions as the tested model. That is, 4.34 meters long by 1.80 m wide and 1.69 m high, with a wheelbase of 2.67 meters .
Returning to the tested car, we will focus on highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of LPG . This alternative to the thermal block has a lower price than gasoline, but there are not as many pumps as with traditional fuels. Fortunately, the Duster can run on oil and gas, so we don’t run the risk of being stranded like a 100% electric vehicle.
This technology pays for itself in the case of making most of the journeys with gas, something that will not be complicated if we take into account the 19 kilograms of tank capacity and an average consumption of 4.9 kg / 100 km. If you want to know more about the behavior of the Dacia Duster and its ECO engine, we will tell you more in the following gallery. The starting price for the tested model is 19,824 euros , to which we must add some optional equipment.
