A commercial version of the Dacia Duster SUV will be on the road before the end of the year with prices starting from £17,734 including VAT.
With the rear seats removed and replaced by a flat load floor, the Duster Commercial has up to 1,623 litres of space available and a payload capacity of up to 503kg.
Like the regular Duster, the Commercial variant is available with both petrol and diesel powertrains, with the latter priced from £21,934.
Two trim levels are being offered – Essential and Expression – while the diesel engine model is available with a 4x4 system.
The Dacia Duster Commercial’s specification is the same as the Duster SUV and included an 8-inch touchscreen with an infotainment system complete with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Two petrol engines are available – a 3-cylinder manual turbo unit developing 90hp or a 150hp version with an automatic gearbox.
Both have an official best fuel economy of 45.6mpg, with the auto available only in Expression trim costing from £22,714.
Expression specification includes front fog lights, heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors, rearview camera with parking sensors, hill descent control, and a centre differential lock on 4x4 models.
All versions feature LED daytime running lights, body-coloured bumpers, black roof bars with ‘Duster’ inscription, air conditioning, electric front windows and cruise control with speed limiter.
As part of the conversion for commercial use, a mesh bulkhead is fitted between the load area and front passenger compartment, while a series of lashing eyes make it easy to secure loose cargo.
Prices correct as of 03/08/22 and are subject to change.
