Dacia Duster Commercial |
Renault Group Ireland is introducing commercial versions of the New Dacia Duster and the electric Renault ZOE to its line-up, writes Trish Whelan.
Available to order now, these are locally converted vehicles, with the conversions arranged by Renault and Dacia dealers on behalf of customers.
Benefits of these conversions for business owners are that they can reclaim the VAT on the vehicle, enjoy a lower rate of BIK for employees taking a company van over a car, as well as the comfort and refinement of a car with an easily accessible and capacious load are in the back.
The Dacia Duster Commercial has been a very successful vehicle for Renault Group dealers with its competitive pricing and low cost of ownership. Plus its rugged style and go-anywhere 4x4 capability. Priced from €16,302 excluding VAT for the core version. The 4x4 version is priced from €17,675 excluding VAT.

Running costs are a key concern for most business customers, and fuel bills over 20,000km are approximately €1,000 less than for an equivalent diesel vehicle when choosing electric, with maintenance costs far lower thanks to less heat, friction and moving parts.
