At the same time, want a strong car that is reliable, versatile and able to face the demands and weather conditions can be severe and diverse (long distances, difficult terrain, large urban areas, etc). The current supply is largely dominated by imported SUVs are located in price beyond the reach of the middle classes “.
The Duster has a takeoff of attack of 30 degrees and 35 degrees out, a weight of 1,280 kg for the 4 × 4, and 1,180 kg for the 4 × 2. The trunk has a capacity of 475 liters and can be expandable to 1,600 liters.

The Duster will be sold worldwide starting with Europe, Turkey and Maghreb , but later you arrive at Romania , and Brazil (with production local), , Argentina, Mexico, Chile , and finally Russian .
But recently came a rumor that Ghosn ( CEO of Renault- Nissan ) has in mind the arrival of Dacia the U.S. market. With the problems that this market is having and the high growth of the Romanian firm, maybe after a long time a Renault (camouflage) re-tread territory yankee. For now it is just a dream, but the Duster could ever make.
