Just a few months after it made its UK market debut, the Dacia Duster has won another important award, being recognized as the "Best Budget 4x4" at the Tow Car Awards 2013 ceremony held at The Sculpture Gallery in Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire.
Impressive towing capacity was demonstrated by a Duster 1.5 dCi model in Ambience trim. The 4x4 costs just £13,495 but delivers 110 PS to all four wheels and comes with selectable drive modes. The 1.5-liter Renault engine provides the Duster with 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque delivered through a six-speed manual gearbox.
“That price isn’t a misprint. For less than you’d pay for the tiny Kia Rio three-door, Dacia will sell you a five-seat 4x4…the Duster is undeniably a bargain. It makes a decent tow car, too…In fact, we’d be happy to tow on long motorway journeys with the Duster," the judges found.
