quick answer
The Dacia Duster is one of the best value SUVs for rural Ireland: 209mm of ground clearance (217mm on the Hybrid 4x4 150), up to 594L of boot space, towing up to 1,500kg braked, and a self-charging Hybrid 155 that never needs a plug, with prices from €25,990. If you tow regularly, choose the Eco-G 120 or Mild hybrid 140: the full hybrid's underfloor battery reduces boot space to 496L and towing to 750kg.
Boreens, farm gateways, flooded lanes after a wet week and a boot full of muddy gear: the Dacia Duster is built to shrug all of it off. With up to 217mm of ground clearance, up to 594 litres of boot space and a self-charging hybrid option that never needs a plug, it's one of the best value cars for rural Ireland and outdoor weekends away.

why choose a Duster for rural Ireland?
Ireland's back roads, farm lanes and coastal car parks are harder on a car than most brochures admit. Duster's raised ride height and ground clearance mean potholes, cattle grids and rutted tracks are simply part of the drive rather than a reason to turn around.
genuine ground clearance
209mm of clearance on 4x2 models and 217mm on the 4x4 hybrid let Duster clear rutted boreens, flooded gateways and steep farm entrances that would ground a typical crossover.
available Hybrid 4x4 150
A Hybrid 4x4 150 version, offered on Expression, Journey and Extreme trims, pairs full hybrid fuel savings with four-wheel drive for extra traction on wet grass, gravel or snow.
affordable to run and replace
Duster's low list price, from €25,990 for the entry Eco-G 120, and simple mechanicals make it one of the easier cars in Ireland to live with on rougher roads.
off-road styling with substance
Starkle® side protectors, wheel arch protection and an underbody snorkel design on Essential trim reflect genuine off-road intent, not just the look of it.

A Duster for camping, family trips and dog-friendly weekends
Dacia's own InNature accessory range is designed specifically around getaways, alongside the Duster's everyday practicality.
camping
InNature Sleep Pack

dog-friendly
muddy paws and wet gear
The Protection Pack's boot liner and rubber floor mats make it easy to clean up after a muddy dog, and Extreme trim's washable MicroCloud upholstery wipes down easily. Ask your dealer about dog guards, as Dacia doesn't list one as a genuine accessory.
gear & kit
roof racks and YouClip® storage
The InNature roof rack attaches to the modular roof bars and carries up to 80kg, while YouClip® points throughout the cabin and boot hold cup holders, hooks, lamps and bags.
the numbers
