The Duster, as you've never seen it before: they presented a VERY controversial version, how are you?

"The Duster in its most aggressive version". This is how Dacia, the brand that produces and markets this model on the European market, presented the latest SUV prototype.

The Dacia Duster featured in this note was presented as part of the inauguration of a Renault Group design center in Bucharest, Romania. They developed it to "explore the different possibilities of personalization" and "accentuate off-road style", explained the automaker.

The difference between this concept and the "clbadic" variants is only aesthetic. After six months of development, Dacia has decorated it with a bright yellow paint and black splashes, colors that replicate on alloy wheels.

In addition, they equipped him with integrated led lights, plastic wheel arches, off-road tires, plastic side shields and specific adhesives, such as Duster emblem on the sides.

Renault is about to present at regional level the second generation from the Duster, its compact SUV to compete with the Ford EcoSport and the Jeep Renegade. It will be first in Brazil and next year it should reach local dealers

Meanwhile, the brand is doing the final commissioning tests and a unit has been seen on the Río Cuarto highway, in the province of Córdoba. He was camouflaged but some changes of appearance will be identified. The images were sent by César Remy to TN Cars.
