The Duster Extreme SE is returning to the UK lineup for 2023, as announced by Dacia. This special edition will have the new emblem, which is seen on the other models in the Dacia lineup. Even with these upgrades, this model is still more affordable than many of its competitors.

Dacia first introduced the Duster Extreme SE last February as part of the lineup for the 2022 model year. However, since then, Dacia has updated its models to reflect its new brand identity. Thus, the 2023 model year features a revised grille with the new DC emblem and new Dacia lettering on the tailgate and steering wheel.

The model comes equipped with black 17-inch alloy wheels and orange accents on the mirrors, roof bars, tailgate, and interior (air vents, stitching, door trim). The only difference you'll notice in the exterior besides the badging is the darker Monolith Grey finish on the skid plates and roof bars.

The equipment in the car includes the 8-inch Media Nav with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, automatic air conditioning, heated front seats, Multiview camera, rear parking sensors, and keyless entry.

The Duster Extreme SE is available with the entire range of powertrains including the 1.0 TCe petrol with 89 HP (66 kW / 90 PS), the 1.0 TCe Bi-Fuel with 99 HP (74 kW / 100 PS) the 1.3 TCe petrol with either 128 HP (96 kW / 130 PS) or 148 HP (110 kW / 150 PS), and the 1.5 dCi diesel with 113 HP (85 kW / 115 PS). The diesel engine is the only one that's available with 4x4. The rest of the lineup is FWD-only. And finally, the EDC six-speed automatic transmission can only be paired with the most powerful 1.3 TCe engine.

The automaker has already begun taking orders, with the first deliveries anticipated in early 2023. The pricing for this model starts at £18,295 ($21,074) and ranges up to the new most expensive Dacia price of £22,445 ($25,876).
