DACIA is upping the power on its top-end Duster SUV, with a new 155bhp 1.8-litre hybrid engine that was first seen in the larger Bigster.

Fresh powertrains for wallet-friendly Dacia

It replaces the current 140bhp 1.6 hybrid unit.

The new powertrain, which will be available from November, comes alongside a new 1.2-litre mild-hybrid that boosts power by 10bhp over the outgoing unit to 140bhp. Low-key specification upgrades, including the addition of some driver-assistance tech as standard on higher-trim models, complete the enhancements for the popular Duster.
