For 2016, all Dacia engines will benefit from Euro 6 emission norms, a Stop & Start feature with braking energy recovery (Energy Smart Management), while all diesel engines in the Dacia range are fitted with a Lean Nox Trap emission control system, which will also result in better fuel efficiency.

The new 2016 Duster range will be powered by reworked Sce 115 and TCe 125 petrol engines, along with reworked dCi 90 diesel and dCi 110 diesel engines; all honed to deliver better fuel economy and lessen emissions. Also on the offing will be a new AMT gearbox (Easy-R), which works with computer-controlled electromechanical actuators that perform a surrogate role for the driver, de-clutching, changing gear and then re-engaging the clutch. It has two modes: Drive and Manual, providing different regimes of gear-changing.

  1. When is Renault Duster Diesel Automatic being Planned for launch… Please LAUNCH soon… We are waiting.. And are excited about this NEWS…Renault should launch Duster Diesel Automatic Immediately in October itself, ahead of Festive season, to cash on… There is immense interest in Automatic and Hyundai Creta has reported over 30% bookings of Automatic version and they have made changes in their production plans accordingly, infact they were much surprised by the automatic requirement, having expected only 10% of the total bookings.. It means of the 40000 bookings Hyundai Creta has received 10000 bookings are for Automatic itself, which is a significant number and completely new opportunity ….The waiting period for Creta Automatic has gone upto 8 months as per the dealer I spoke to in Mumbai……!!!!!!
    ..
    Renault needs to Launch Duster Diesel with EDC Automatic as soon as possible, as it is losing huge market to other SUVs. They have to win this race against time to get the Duster Facelift to market……
