The latest generation of Dacia’s SUV, the Duster, will make its public debut in Geneva. Developed on the CMF-B platform, this third generation Duster has a more robust and assertive design and offers a range of engines that do not include Diesel versions. The highlight is the Hybrid 140 variant, which combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with 96 hp, two electric motors (a 49 hp motor and a high-voltage generator/starter motor), and an electric automatic gearbox (with 4 gears for the combustion engine and 2 gears for the electric motor).
In addition to the hybrid version, a mild-hybrid variant, the TCe 130, is also available, which Dacia is using for the first time. It combines a 1.2-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder gasoline engine of the new generation, which uses the Miller cycle, and a mild-hybrid solution (48V mild-hybrid).
The Romanian brand of the Renault Group will also offer the new Duster with a dual-fuel configuration (gasoline and LPG), the ECO-G 100, which has two fuel tanks that together hold 100 liters (50 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of LPG), allowing for a range of up to 1300 km.

In addition to the Duster, Dacia will also present the renovated Spring, a 100% electric model that is more digital than ever, with a customizable digital instrument panel with a 7” screen, along with a 10” central multimedia screen. The new Spring has a 45 hp motor in the Essential and Expression versions, and a 65 hp motor in the Expression and Extreme versions.
The Geneva Motor Show will also be the stage for Dacia to unveil its bet for the 2025 Dakar. It is the Sandrider, a model developed in partnership with Prodrive, inspired by the Manifesto concept car, and that will be involved in the main category of the Dakar, Ultimate T1+.
