The new Dacia Duster and Bigster hybrid 150 4x4 are now available to order in the UK, priced from £26,845 on-the-road and £29,265 respectively, giving drivers the capability and confidence to make the most of everyday adventure.

Built to keep going when the road becomes rougher, wetter or less predictable, the new powertrain combines the reassurance of all-wheel drive with the ease of an automatic gearbox and the efficiency of electrified assistance. That makes Duster and Bigster even more versatile for the journeys people actually make, from everyday driving and winter roads to muddy campsites, loose tracks and weekends further off the beaten path.

The hybrid 150 4x4 uses a rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when extra traction is needed, while the petrol engine drives the front wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The rear motor delivers up to 87Nm of torque and is paired with an innovative two-speed gearbox, helping provide strong low-speed traction while maintaining all-wheel drive capability at higher speeds.

When four-wheel-drive is no longer required, the rear axle can disengage completely to reduce friction for more efficient road driving. If grip is lost, torque can be delivered to the rear wheels immediately.

Five driving modes help drivers adapt Duster and Bigster to the prevailing conditions. Auto manages the switch between two- and four-wheel-drive, while Eco prioritises efficiency but can call on all-wheel-drive when needed. Snow is designed for slippery roads, Mud / Sand optimises traction on loose surfaces, and Lock supports low-speed driving on more rugged terrain.

Providing additional assurance across all modes, Hill Descent Control helps maintain a consistent speed of between 2 and 18mph on steep downhill sections, while steering wheel-mounted paddles allow drivers to take manual control of the gearbox when necessary, such as when tackling particularly challenging off-road situations.

Lina Ribeiro, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, said: “The new hybrid 150 4x4 gives Duster and Bigster even more of the capability people value, while keeping them simple, practical and accessible. It brings extra reassurance when conditions get difficult but is just as easy to live with every day. Whether it’s a wet commute, a muddy campsite or a weekend away, it gives drivers more freedom to get out there without unnecessary complication or expense.”

The new hybrid 150 4x4 keeps the choice simple, with Extreme trim available on both Duster and Bigster, and Journey also offered on Bigster.
