Seen from the driver's side, it is visibly a sporting coupé, yet passengers entering from the other side will see it as an MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) with a traditionally opening front door and rear-hinged rear door which suggest plush travelling refinement.<br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dacia Duster Concept's </span>height of 1.49 metres, short front and rear overhangs (65cm and 80cm respectively), generous wheelbase (2.80m) and compact volumes (4.25m long, 1.64m wide) exude an overriding sense of robustness and sports appeal.<br /><br />The front end features a broad bumper with two horizontal air-intake slits that suggest power. The grille features evident Dacia styling cues and is flanked by headlamps which wrap over the front wings to form a tapering line of light that stretches rearward towards the doors.<br />Viewed from the side, the clear-cut lines of the wheel arches and tall doors reinforce the impression that Dacia Duster Concept sits squarely on the road. The Anthracite Grey bodywork and extensive one-piece glazed sweep - made possible by the absence of a central pillar - highlights the styling of the sides which are unmistakably reminiscent of Dacia Duster Concept's graphic identity.<br /><br />At the rear, the engraved Dacia logo further emphasizes the concept car's robust, dependable credentials.<br /><br />Special care has gone into<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Dacia Duster Concept's </span>aerodynamic efficiency (Cd: 0.30) and the fluid lines of the body sides enable air to flow freely along the vehicle's flanks before being jettisoned through the rear lights. The aerodynamic, wing-like forms of the roof-mounted direction indicators also channel airflow towards the rear. The sum of all this work has naturally been beneficial to fuel consumption, and Dacia Duster Concept stands out as a particularly environmentally-respectful crossover. Despite its performance potential, the particulate filterequipped 1.5 dCi 105hp engine (77kW) emits just 139g of CO2/km, equivalent to fuel consumption of 5.3 litres/100km.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A CROSSOVER WITH DACIA HALLMARKS</span><br />The futuristic crossover showcases the brand's core values - namely simplicity, robustness and authenticity - in a surprising form, yet <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dacia's</span> hallmark ingenuity and generosity are immediately apparent in the way designers have approached <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dacia Duster</span> Concept's cabin.<br />The concept car's two-tone chocolate and blue interior exudes a sense of well-being and conviviality. The fully glazed roof floods the cabin with light, while the enveloping forms of the staggered slim-line front seats provide first class comfort and support. The driver's seat is incorporated in a structure which extends all the way from the sill to the centre console, forming a sculptural, one-piece ensemble that echoes the exterior's sporty appeal.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dacia Duster Concept</span> is an adaptable, modular concept car. The four-seat 'daily driver' layout can be swiftly converted into a leisure configuration in a matter of seconds. The passenger seat slides underneath the driver's seat on rails concealed in the floor to leave just one front seat and consequently free up a total carrying volume of two cubic metres. Thanks to a recess in the floor and a strap located under the dashboard, this space can be used to carry a trials mountain bike.<br /><br /></div> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dimensions</span><br />* Length: 4,250 mm<br />* Width: 1,640 mm<br />* Height: 1,495 mm<br />* Overall width, doors open: 4,285 mm<br />* Wheelbase: 2,804 mm<br />* Front track: 1,637 mm<br />* Rear track: 1,640 mm<br />* Unladen weight: 1,300 kg<br />* Boot volume: 470 dm3 (VDA)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Technical data</span><br />* Engine type: dCi 105<br />* Maximum power: 105 hp (77 kW)<br />* Maximum torque: 240 Nm at 2,000rpm<br />* 0-100 km/h: 9.6 s<br />* CO2 emissions: 139g/km<br />* Combined cycle fuel consumption: equivalent to 5.3 litres/100km<br />* Transmission: Manual six-speed gearbox<br />* Tyres: 245/35 ZR21<br />* Wheels: 21-inch diameter wheels
