Romanian car brand Dacia has launched a new utility version of its well-known Duster car, the Cargo. The new car is intended exclusively for the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dacia routinely launches utility versions of its cars, and a Pick-Up version<\/a> was announced last week for the Duster as well. Like the Pick-Up, the Cargo is also intended for transporting goods.\u00a0<\/p>\n To serve that purpose, the Cargo has had the back seat of the regular version removed to make room for a loading space with a volume of 1149 liters. It has a payload of 430 kg, a loading area that is separated from the cabin by a metal mesh, and four anchoring points for fragile goods. Moreover, the rear side windows are covered with an opaque protective film.<\/p>\n Two engines are available for the new Dacia Duster Cargo: Mild-Hybrid 130 4×4 and Hybrid 155. Starting from a standstill is done only electrically, and driving in urban conditions will be predominantly in electric mode, in the case of the 155-horsepower hybrid engine. There is also a recovery system calibrated to recover as much energy as possible, according to the press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Expression trim, the only one available, brings 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 10.1-inch central screen. Other features include cruise control with speed limiter, traffic sign recognition, intelligent speed assist, parking camera, automatic emergency call, and automatic emergency braking.<\/p>\n Finally, the UK\u2019s Duster Cargo will come in Glacier White, Pearl Black, and Shadow Grey, and will start at GBP 22,995 (EUR 26,329) for the mild-hybrid version, and EUR 23,595 (EUR 27,000) for the hybrid engine.<\/p>\n
