Dusting down for Dacia

Written By Richard Lawton Published On: Mar 06 2009

dacia-duster-concept2More news coming out of the Geneva Motor Show concerns Renault’s Romanian budget brand, Dacia.Previous plans from Renault had pencilled in the Dacia to make an appearance in the UK during 2009 with the launch of their Sandero hatchback. However due to higher than anticipated demand for the car throughout Europe plans for a UK launch have been put back indefinitely.Meanwhile at the Motor Show Dacia revealed its first ever concept as it revived its Duster name. The concept is a coupe/SUV crossover with an emphasis on function which has three doors, including a single rear-hinged suicide door on the passenger side.As can be seen in the photo, the functional interior even has enough room to store a bike, while at the rear of the vehicle an innovative tailgated box structure slides out to provide an extra pick-up load bed.The original Dacia Duster was a compact, basic 4x4, sold in the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was powered by Renault petrol and diesel engines, but was built by another, now-defunct Romanian automaker called ARO.Do you agree with Renault's decision not to launch the Dacia Sandero in the UK? Is there room for another budget hatchback in the market? Let us know your thoughts below.
