We’ve known for a long time that the new Duster will be heavily influenced by the Bigster concept, which Dacia revealed at the beginning of 2021, in terms of design. Patent images and photos of camouflaged prototypes captured during testing have also appeared on the Internet. These shots confirm the follow-up to the Bigster study.
The well-known designer and virtual artist Lars Sältzer, who recently boasted his own vision of the third generation of the Romanian SUV on his Instagram, is also counting on it. And the proposal is very interesting, because it suggests that the novelty could look quite bold.
The massive hips will immediately catch your attention, especially the rear ones look really muscular. Also notice the unconventionally shaped bumpers, massive D-pillars and an interestingly designed front hood. Another striking element are the front headlights and rear lamps working with the motif of the letter Y. The front headlights are made of diodes, while the rear ones have the shape of a flat Ypsilon.
We are curious to see how well Lars got the look of the third generation Dacia Duster. But we will know in a few months.

However, we already know that the new compact SUV will use the CMF-B platform, known from the Sandero, Logan and Jogger models. As far as engines are concerned, the new Duster will most likely not get a diesel engine – at least in the version for European markets. The basis will probably be a turbocharged petrol three-cylinder with a volume of 1.2 liters, supplemented by 48V mild-hybrid technology. The unit should be available in two power variants and also in an LPG version. Customers will be able to choose between manual and automatic transmissions, and we can also count on an all-wheel drive version.
The fully hybrid Duster E-Tech will certainly arrive, but it remains a mystery whether Dacia has gone for an older variant with an atmospheric sixteen-cylinder engine (we can find it, for example, in the new hybrid Dacia Jogger) or will bet on a newer evolution with a larger 1.8 SCe internal combustion engine.
So the third generation Dacia Duster should arrive next year. In 2025, its even larger relative, a seven-seater SUV, will arrive, which is still referred to as the Bigster model.
How are you looking forward to the new Dacia Duster?
I can’t wait to see what it looks like
I like this one, I would take this one
It didn’t really catch my eye, maybe it will be prettier in reality
Duster does not appeal to me
