This is the new Dacia Duster commercial – a load carrying version of the brand’s no-nonsense cheap SUV with a flat loading area in place of the rear seats.

Buyers get the same redesigned radiator grille, updated headlamps and Y-shaped daytime running lights as the facelifted passenger Duster. The brushed silver trim on the SUV’s bumpers has been replaced with a durable black plastic alternative, but the rest of the Duster Commercial’s styling is identical to the standard car.

As before, the Duster Commercial’’s load bay can swallow 1,623 litres of equipment and carry a maximum payload of 503kg, depending on the model. For some extra peace of mind, Dacia has also fitted some extra dark rear privacy glass and a full-length load cover to keep opportunistic eyes from being tempted by your tools.
The Duster commercial range is separated into just two models, called essential and Comfort. prices for the cheapest option start from £12,795 (excluding VAT) and standard equipment includes 16-inch steel wheels, cruise control, electric front windows, manual air conditioning and a DAB radio with bluetooth and USB connectivity.
