DACIA Duster: SPECIAL Model that Renault Needs Now

DACIA Duster is the most popular SUV model sold by DACIA, but this special model is needed, here's why Renault could suffer without it.

Chinese DACIA Duster

DACIA Duster it is currently one of the cheapest SUVs, but also one of the most popular, of course thanks to the very good price it has, but its position on the market could be seriously threatened. It seems that those at Renault are a bit afraid of the cheap electric cars that come from Asia, they are brought to Europe at very low prices, even if the cars themselves are not impressive, and the Spring might not be enough to keep up with them, while a DACIA Duster could be more useful.

DACIA Duster the launch of an electric version by the Romanian manufacturer has not yet been announced, even the hybrid version being quite far from launch for the time being. Despite this, considering Renault's fears that Geely, BYD, or SAIC could seriously affect the launch of the DACIA Spring, maybe in the future it wouldn't hurt if the launch of an electric version was also seriously considered of DACIA Duster for customers all over Europe.

DACIA Duster: SPECIAL Model that Renault Needs Now

DACIA Duster it is not the cheapest car that DACIA sells, but even if it is an SUV, and it costs quite a lot over 10.000 euros, it has impressive sales, being even above Logan, or Sandero in some countries. DACIA Spring is also a kind of electric SUV, only that compared to DACIA Duster it is a kind of "mini SUV", but the intention of the Romanian manufacturer to go the way of electric SUVs is as clear as possible, because he could start directly with Logan.

DACIA Duster you won't be able to have an electric version made so easily, and that's because the DACIA Spring is a clone of the Renault KZ-E, so some investments are needed to make a 100% electric SUV. Whether Renault will be willing to invest in the "electrification" of the DACIA Duster, or not, remains to be seen, but if Spring sales disappoint, then it will have no other solution than to think about an electric version of the popular cars.

DACIA Duster it will have a facelift version launched in 2021/2022, and a hybrid version is expected until 2025, but it is possible that the Coronavirus pandemic will change the plans of the French manufacturer.
