Dacia Duster Facelift (2014)

De momento no se sabe nada, salvo que irá con motores 1.6 y 2.0 16v
Para latinoamerica

(justamente estoy pasando por en frente del predio de La Rural, en Palermo, donde hoy se desarrolla la jornada de prensa del Salón del Automóvil de Buenos Aires, así que el sábado estaré subiendo fotos en vivo…a propósito, A.P.M., me recordarías cómo subir imágenes por MP? Hace tanto que no lo hago que ya lo olvidé)

Lo publicaron en una web local cuyo equipo ya está en el salón y que rara vez comparto en mi perfil de FB por diferencias personales con su jefe de redacción…

Estéticamente está chula.

Como decimos aquí en Argentina…»zafa» (o sea, aprueba), pero con lo justo, al menos en fotos. La tengo que ver «cara a cara» y sacar mis conclusiones. Eso sí, desde el vamos, estaba claramente mejor resuelto el concept.

Por otro lado veo que, salvo futuras novedades, la orientación es absolutamente lúdica. Sin opción de cabina simple y con una Renault que abandonó los motores Diésel en el país hace un par de años (por cuestiones de la calidad del gasoil argentino, no apto para los DCi más modernos), apunta a un cliente tipo que necesita una pick-up mayor a las compactas actuales, pero que no puede permitirse pagar por una Frontier/Hilux/Ranger/Amarok/S10/L200 y que le sirva como turismo y vehículo de trabajo liviano (perdón por el tocho, pero necesitaba transmitir ese análisis)

Actualiza varias mecanicas para pasar a ser Euro6
1.6 16v 115cv y 156Nm Stop-start
Caja de cambios manual de 6 velocidades
0-100 km/h: 11.0 seg (12 el 4×4)
Las emisiones de la versión 4×4 se reducen en 30gr de CO2, pasando a 155. Los 4×2 bajan un 20%, pasando a emitir 145gr deCO2

1.5 dci 110cv y 260Nm
Reduce las emisiones en 115 y 123gr de CO2 (4×2 y 4×4 respectivamente)

Estracto de la nota de prensa
The Dacia Duster is now even more ‘shockingly affordable’ to run with the introduction of a brand new EU6-compliant 1.6 16V 115 petrol engine which improves performance, reduces fuel consumption and CO2emissions, significantly reduces running costs and improves the towing capacity of 4×2 models. It replaces the previous 1.6 16V 105 engine.

With its arrival, Dacia now offers a greater number of petrol-engined models in the Duster line-up. Mid-range Ambiance 4×2 and 4×4 versions have been added, giving a more progressive and logical product line. Previously, only entry-level Access models were offered with a petrol engine. The new Ambiance versions are priced at £10,495 (4×2) and £12,495 (4×4). The new petrol engine is also fitted to Access versions, which are priced at £9,495 (4×2) and £11,495 (4×4).

There are also reductions in fuel consumption and emissions for Duster models powered by the dCi 110 turbodiesel engine, which now meets EU6 emissions standards. As with the new petrol engine, this has the effect of lowering the VED band of every model.

The new 1.6 16V 115 engine
The 115hp 1.6-litre 16-valve engine is a brand new unit, not simply an EU6 version of the petrol engine previously fitted to the Duster. It develops 10hp more than its predecessor at 5,500rpm and has an extra 8Nm of torque – now 156Nm at 4,000rpm. This trims the 0-62mph acceleration time of 4×2 versions from 11.5 to 11.0 seconds, while for 4×4 models the reduction is 0.8 seconds to 12.0 seconds. The top speeds rise by 1mph and 5mph respectively.

By far the greatest gains are in fuel efficiency and running costs, however. For 4×4 versions, CO2 emissions tumble by 30g/km to 155g/km, while NEDC fuel consumption has been reduced by 6.2mpg and is now 41.5mpg. This is sufficient to slash the annual VED cost by £170 to £180. There are substantial gains with 4×2 models, too: CO2 falls by 20g/km to 145g/km, fuel economy improves by 4.3mpg to 44.1mpg and the yearly VED charge is £35 less at £145. The increase in power and torque also raises the towing capacity of 4×2 versions from 1,200 to 1,500kg so that it is now on a par with that of the 4×4 versions. Benefit-in-kind (BIK) taxation is four bands lower with all-wheel drive and two bands lower with front-wheel drive.

Thenew engine is a 1,598cc unit with multi-point fuel injection, driving through a five-speed manual gearbox in 4×2 models and a six-speed manual in the 4x4s. Engine Stop and Start is standard.

Lower fuel consumption, emissions and running costs for diesels
The advent of EU6 emissions controls also brings improvements in the fuel efficiency and running costs of Duster models powered by the 1.5-litre dCi 110 turbodiesel engine, which now has 20Nm more torque at 260Nm.

NEDC combined fuel consumption is now 64.2mpg (-7.7mpg) in 4×2 models and 60.1mpg (-6.8mpg) in 4x4s; CO2 emissions are down to 115g/km (-15g/km) and 123g/km (-12g/km) respectively; and every model is one band lower in the VED and BIK scales.

A more progressive and logical model structure
With the introduction of petrol-engined Ambiance models for the first time, Dacia now offers 10 versions of the Duster in a more progressive and logical range.

There are two entry-level Access models (4×2 and 4×4), both powered by the new 1.6 16V 115 engine; mid-range Ambiance trim is available with both engines and both drivelines; and at the top of the range there are Lauréate and Lauréate Prime versions, all diesel, in 4×2 and 4×4 formats.
