TCe 100 comes with a turbocharger with an electrically controlled waste gate, an exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head, twin variable valve timing and bore spray coating.

Furthermore, the new engine is available in 4x2 setup for Access, Essential and Comfort trim levels of Duster. It can be mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and can generate a total of 100hp and 260Nm of torque at 2,000rpm. Dacia Duster range offers tons of reliable features and technologies for a rather affordable price. There's a choice of five trim levels and two engine types – the already mentioned TCe 100 ad the Blue dCi 115 diesel.
