DACIA Duster 3 it is the next generation of SUVs that the Romanian manufacturer is preparing for launch on markets around the world, and we are talking about a major upgrade that will benefit many people. Unfortunately, before the DACIA Duster 3 was launched, the first bad news about these car models appeared, more precisely it was said that it will not be offered in any version that will have a 4×4 engine because it cannot be in Pitesti produced.
DACIA Duster 3 it will be made on the CMF-B platform, and in Romania for the time being there are no necessary facilities for such a DACIA SUV to be made with a 4×4 engine. In order for this to happen, the production lines for the DACIA Duster 3 need to be modified at the factory in Pitesti, and at others in the world, so that the motorization, and this requires investments, but a decision made by Ford could overturn head of the implementation of 4×4 motorization.
DACIA Duster 3: The decision that makes a Big Change Clearer
DACIA Duster 3 it could be produced in hybrid and electric versions in Romania because Ford decided to modify its factory in Craiova to make electric cars, so DACIA will have to have a tailor-made answer for the competitor. This means that the factory in Pitesti could focus on the production of hybrid and electric cars, and the 4×4 engine for DACIA Duster 3 could be forgotten in order not to make too big investments now.
DACIA Duster 3 in hybrid and electric versions, it could be a better solution for the Romanian manufacturer than the 4×4 version, and this mainly depends on the sales recorded for each individual model. If the sales of the 4×4 version are not high, then giving up this engine in order to manufacture electric and hybrid models of the DACIA Duster 3 would not be a loss that matters too much for the manufacturer, or the Romanians.
DACIA Duster 3 it will be presented somewhere around 2024 or 2025, and regardless of the situation, the launch in dealerships is expected only in 2025 for this car model.
