We put the Dacia Duster to the test in the Agafay desert

This SUV dares everything and offers the most comfortable and safe driving behavior

In the desert you need a partner that suits you: robust, strong and very capable. Although it may not seem like it at first glance, the Dacia Duster brings it all together. And much more. This mid-sized SUV – just over 4 meters high – offers
performance, comfort and safety both on daily trips with the family and on unusual trails.

Moreover, the second option
as if it were their natural habitatmainly thanks to its 4X4 capability, its 214 mm ground clearance, its tight turning radius and better viewing angle.

For example, the Agafay Desert, in Marrakesh, is the wildest and most perfect environment there can be to get out of the comfort zone and ride without schedules or goals. With no rules, signs and almost no trails, the Duster, in its 115 horsepower diesel version and all-wheel drive, has conquered every bump, track and incline without any problems.

And almost always without the need for its electronics, as its power and manual transmission help to solve any situation.

Although the model has slope start assist and descent control, its activation was not required at any point, despite the fact that there were multiple obstacles and difficulties on the more than 100 kilometers of the route.

They also didn’t need specific tires to overcome even the side slopes in the dunes.

It should be noted that after the presentation of the new brand image, the Duster has adopted a new front showing the new emblem, consisting of a D and a C together. At the rear wheels and interior details such as the steering wheel, also called Dacia, with a minimalist design.

And new colors and equipment are also being released. The new Arizona Orange shade and the more equipped ‘Journey’ version, more focused on leisure, stand out.
