Designed to fill the void left by the Logan-based pickup, the Duster pickup is nearly identical to its SUV counterpart from the tip of the front bumper to the B-pillar. Beyond that, it gains a bed with tall sides and a tailgate that looks like a standard Duster hatch cut in half.
Like the SUV, the pickup will stretch approximately 169 inches long, 78 inches wide and 66 inches tall.
Most of the Duster pickup’s interior will be carried over from the SUV, and higher-spec models will come with Dacia’s LG-developed Media Nav infotainment system.
Mechanically, the Duster pickup will be offered with a host of Renault-sourced four-cylinder engines including 90- and 110-horsepower versions of the time-tested 1.5-liter dCi turbodiesel mill. Two gas-burning units rated at 105 and 125 horsepower, respectively, will also be offered. Front-wheel drive will come standard, and select models will be fitted with an all-wheel drive system developed jointly by Renault and Nissan.
Dacia is remaining silent about the Duster pickup. However, French magazine Auto Plus reports the truck will be presented to the public for the first time at the Paris Motor Show that will open its doors to the public next October.
