The Renault Duster Commercial, seen here with its original Dacia badging, has been revealed for the UK market as a capable 4×4 LCV for small businesses. The Romanian brand says the new offering boasts extra practicality and loading space.
With the rear bench gutted out, the Renault Duster Commercial boasts a payload of 492 kg and cargo capacity of 1 623 dm3 with a long and roomy load area. Replacing the rear seats and seatbelts is a fitted wooden floor, load compartment cover, alarm, rubber mats, opaque film over the fixed rear windows.
For the sake of comfort and convenience the Renault Duster Commercial retains key features such as cruise control, Bluetooth and USB connectivity and a multifunction steering wheel. The Comfort package adds electric windows and lumbar support for the driver’s seat. It also implements the 7,0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto together with a display for the rear facing camera.
Powering the Renault Duster Commercial will be a turbopetrol 1,0-litre three-cylinder engine which delivers 67 kW and 160 N.m of torque to the front wheels. A larger turbopetrol 1,3-litre four-cylinder mill is available as well with 96 kW and 240 N.m of torque. Those needing enhanced capabilities can opt for the same engine with a 110 kW and 250 N.m state of tune. The flagship of the range employs the brand’s turbodiesel 1,5-litre four-cylinder unit that sends 85 kW and 260 N.m to the wheels. All wheel drive can be fitted to most of these engines.
A local introduction of the Renault Duster Commercial has not been confirmed.
