Dacia Duster, coupé, convertible and pick-up!

There Dacia Duster it is a very successful model with significant sales volumes in every country, recently renewed with the introduction of the third generation: a new Duster renewed both aesthetically and mechanically with the introduction of hybrid engines of Renault origin, which we also talked about in a video. Following the evolution of the French brand's models, there are those who have imagined (X-Tomi Design) for the Duster a future with proportions similar to those of a SUV-Coupeas already happened with the Capturwhich saw the introduction of theArkana, essentially a Captur with a sleeker body. But not only that, the Duster also transforms into a Coupé and Pick-up.

Dacia Duster not only Coupé, also Cabrio and Pick-up!

The designer first imagined a Dacia Duster Coupé characterized by a lower roof, pronounced shoulders and a sportier rear design that should be longer of the base Duster (which measures 4.34 metres) and sacrifice some headroom in the rear seats. From the traditional Duster, the coupé version could differ only in the aesthetic aspect, maintaining all the other technical specifications of the CMF-B platform, including the offer of available engines.

Dacia Duster convertible

From an aesthetic point of view, the Duster Cabrio should maintain the general design of the sedan version, with some specific features for the open bodywork. For example, the windshield could be slightly lower to improve visibility, and the pillars could be thinner to make the cabin brighter. The roof should be made strictly of canvas but also of rigid foldable material. In both cases, it should be possible to open and close it in a few seconds, even with the engine running.

The new Dacia Duster as it could be in a convertible version

The interior of the Duster Cabrio will certainly be the same as the sedan version, with two or four seats depending on the configuration chosen. The soft top when closed could reduce the headroom of the rear passengers a little. The Duster Convertible could be available with the same engine range as the sedan version. The price of the Duster Convertible should be slightly higher than the sedan version, but should still remain competitive.
The passenger compartment may be affected by the reinforced pillars at the base of the front doors needed to stiffen the body.

Under the hood there may be a 1.0 ECO-G bi-fuel engine (petrol and LPG) 100 HP, a 1.2 TCe petrol 130 HP mild-hybrid and the 140 HP E-Tech hybrid powertrain.

Here are some specific details that could be present on a new Dacia Duster Convertible:

An electric soft top system that opens and closes in a few seconds, even with the engine running.
An anti-rollover protection system integrated into the soft top.
A side airbag system to protect passengers in the event of an accident.
An improved climate control system to ensure optimal comfort even with the top open.

The Duster Convertible would certainly be accepted by the general public and be an interesting car for those looking for an economical and practical SUV, but also with a touch of style and fun.

Dacia Duster pick-up

A Dacia Duster Pick-up could be an interesting car for those looking for a practical and versatile vehicle, at an affordable price. From an aesthetic point of view, the Duster Pick-up could maintain the general design of the SUV version, with some specific features for the pick-up bodywork. For example, the rear part of the body would be shorter, to make room for the cargo bed, and the rear pillars would be thinner to improve visibility.

The body should have a load capacity of at least 1 cubic meter (and a few quintals) and could be equipped with a wooden or plastic lining to protect the load. The interior of the Duster Pick-up should be essentially the same as the SUV version, with seating for five. The cargo bed may reduce headroom for rear passengers a bit, but it should still be enough for most people.

The price of the Duster Pick-up should be slightly higher than the SUV version, but should still remain competitive and still higher than the Coupé version.

Here are some specific details that could be present on a new Dacia Duster Pick-up:

A steel box with a load capacity of at least 1 cubic meter.
A rubber or plastic liner to protect the body from the load.
Tow hook for towing trolleys, motorcycle holders or dog holders.
A reinforced rear suspension system to support the greater weight of the load.

The Duster Pick-up would certainly be interesting for those looking for an economical and versatile pick-up, with a modern and attractive design. It's a shame, however, that all this is just an exercise in style and pure imagination. Who knows if they actually take shape?
