Among the changes for 2015 are a revised chrome front grille and “Duster” branded roof bars, which are chromed on Lauréate models, which also get new “Tyrol” sixteen-inch alloys, body-coloured door handles and dark metal door mirror casings.

Five new metallic colours – Mercury, Khaki, Pearl Black, Slate Grey and Cinnamon are also offered on the on the Ambiance and Lauréate.

All Dacia Dusters get new upholstery and seats. Access models have Hassium cloth, Ambiances get Osmium cloth and Lauréates have Rhodium cloth.

One behind-the-scenes switch – UK Dusters will in future be built at Dacia’s home plant at Pitesti in Romania, instead of the Chennai plant in India which supplied right-hand drive cars in the past.
