This is the Dacia Duster budget crossover, which could be made available in the UK.
Production of left-hand drive Dusters is set to begin early next year, but Dacia would need to offer the car in right-hand drive before it could be considered for a UK launch.
A Renault source told Autocar that the chances of the Dacia brand being launched in the UK was still only a “maybe” and if the brand was launched, only the Duster and the Sandero would be available as it doesn’t see a market in the UK for its Logan.
In Europe, the Duster will be available in two and four-wheel drive, with either a 108bhp 1.6-litre 16V petrol engine or 84bhp and 104bhp 1.5-litre diesels.
The Duster is a five-seater, at 4.31 metres long and 1.82 metres wide. By comparison, a Skoda Yeti is 4.2 metres long and 1.8 metres wide.
It is billed as a genuine off-roader when fitted with four-wheel drive, thanks, Dacia says, to its 20cm ground clearance, 30 degree approach angle and 35 degree departure angle. There are three driving modes - auto, which switches torque according to grip, lock, which splist the torque 50:50 and 4x2, which locks the car in front-wheel drive.
No prices have been announced.
