THE NEW DACIA DUSTER THAT WILL PREMIERE IN FRANKFURT!

The Dacia Duster is a low-cost compact four-wheel drive line launched in 2010 and will enter its third generation in Frankfurt with a bigger, more luxurious take on the formula. 

At the moment details about the Duster are limited to some information about its styling. The new grille and headlights have been designed to give the new car a wider and stronger look on the road, while the satin-chrome-finish skid plate has been enlarged to emphasize its off-road cred. The new roof rails flow on from the windscreen, and black trim running along the side of the car is designed to make buyers think this little high-riding hatchback is a rough-and-ready off-roader. Those 17-in wheels should help, too.

The rear lights on the Duster are the biggest cosmetic change from the outgoing car and are designed to develop into a Dacia signature. 

As mentioned above, details about the new Duster are limited but the current car is available as a two- and all-wheel drive, in both manual and automatic trim. It weighs in at just over 1,100 kg and has a 210 mm ground clearance. With short overhangs and decent angles of attack, it's a capable soft-roader without going all-out Land Rover Defender.

The new Duster will launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, where the completely redesigned interior, new equipment and new features of the vehicle will be revealed. In the meantime why not get carried away by the Dacia Duster in the gallery above!
