Dacia is making selected versions of its Duster even more ‘shockingly affordable’ for 18-registration customers by increasing its scrappage allowance on selected versions to as much as £2,000.

Until the end of March, the Duster Lauréate dCi 110 4×2 and 4×4 now receive an extra £500 and £1,000 respectively on top of their existing Scrappage Scheme offers. This means the front-wheel drive version now comes with a scrappage allowance of £1,500, while the rugged all-wheel drive variant offers a scrappage allowance of £2,000. After the enhanced scrappage offer the Duster Lauréate dCi 110 4×2 costs from £12,995 with the 4×4 variant priced at £14,495.

In addition to this offer, during a special Dacia Week event at participating dealers between the 12^th and 18^th March, the Duster Lauréate dCi 110 is available with up to £2,200 deposit contribution when purchased on a three-year 4.9 per cent Dacia Dimensions PCP offer.

The Lauréate specification provides a number of features that enhance comfort and convenience including Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio, cruise control and air conditioning. Standard equipment also includes 16-inch ‘Tyrol’ alloy wheels and leather steering wheel.

Both versions are powered by the 1.5-litre 108 bhp dCi engine, which in 4×2 guise enables the Duster Lauréate to return up to 64.2mpg (combined) with CO₂ emissions as low as 115g/km.

Prestige and Ambiance versions continue to be available with a scrappage allowance of £1,000, meaning customers can get behind the wheel of a Dacia for as little as £9,995 after the offer.

The Dacia Scrappage Scheme also extends to the Sandero. With the scrappage offer the Sandero in Ambiance trim, which comes with air conditioning, can now be purchased from as little as £6,895, down from £7,395.

Drivers taking advantage of the scrappage scheme must trade in a car that is Euro 4 standard or older, registered before 31^stDecember 2009. Vehicles part exchanged under this scheme will be responsibly scrapped.
