Duster to lead in Dacia here



The Dacia Duster small SUV goes on sale in Ireland in January at a starting price of €14,990, writes Brian Byrne.

The Romanian-built car will lead the arrival of the Renault-owned budget brand's models here, which will include the Sandero hatchback and the Grand Sandero.

All three are built on the Renault-Nissan platform used also by the Nissan Juke and the NV200 Van.

Power for the version in Ireland, which will be offered in both 2WD and 4WD formats, will be a 110hp 1.5 diesel with Band B rating for CO2.
