Dacia has introduced the Duster Pick-Up, a compact four-seat pickup that combines the practicality of a pickup truck with the comfort of an SUV. However, its small cargo bed raises questions about its utility for traditional pickup users.
Compact Design with Limited Cargo Space
The Dacia Duster Pick-Up features a dual-cab configuration, retaining rear seats while incorporating a small cargo bed. The bed measures 1,050 mm in length and 1,000 mm in width, offering a payload capacity of 430 kg.
This compact size limits its ability to carry larger loads compared to traditional pickups. The cargo area is equipped with two metal rails and four anchoring rings to secure items, and a downward-opening tailgate provides access.
Engine Options and Performance
The Duster Pick-Up is available with two hybrid engine choices. The mild-hybrid 130 offers all-wheel drive, suitable for off-road capabilities, while the Hybrid 140 provides front-wheel drive for better fuel efficiency. Both options align with Dacia’s commitment to electrification and environmental sustainability.
Pricing and Availability
In Romania, the Dacia Duster Pick-Up is available through Dacia dealers, starting at €25,983 ($30,800) excluding VAT. This pricing positions it above the standard Duster SUV, reflecting its conversion into a pickup variant. However, the limited cargo capacity may affect its appeal to traditional pickup buyers.
Comparison with Dacia Duster Cargo
While the Duster Pick-Up offers a compact four-seat configuration, the Dacia Duster Cargo, available in the UK, presents a different approach. The Duster Cargo is a two-seat commercial van with a larger cargo area, providing up to 1,149 liters of load space and a payload capacity of 430 kg. This makes the Duster Cargo more suitable for businesses requiring substantial storage capacity.
The Dacia Duster Pick-Up offers a unique blend of SUV comfort and pickup utility. However, its small cargo bed may limit its appeal to those needing substantial load capacity.
