Dacia has added a new range-topping trim level, with a raft of technological upgrades and bespoke design elements, to its Dacia Duster, Logan MCV Stepway and Sandero Stepway models.
Available in red or grey, vehicles equipped with the Techroad package receive red trim inserts, mirror casings and side sills.
Visual differentiation from standard models continues inside, with red styling features added to the door panels, air vents and floor mats.
The Logan MCV Stepway estate and smaller Sandero Stepway receive a new range of two-tone 16in wheels with red centre caps, while the Duster SUV is equipped with 17in diamond-cut alloy wheels, which Dacia says gives “an effect that is attractive and easy to maintain”.
The Techroad package includes rear parking sensors as standard for all three eligible models.
The Duster gains a range of further technological upgrades, including climate control, keyless ignition, blind spot detection, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a multi-view camera system.
In addition to the new Techroad package, four-wheel-drive variants of the Duster SUV can now be specced with Dacia’s new 1.3-litre TCe engines in 128bhp or 148bhp form.
Previously available on two-wheel-drive Duster models, the lightweight aluminium engines use cylinder-coating technology to enhance accelerator response and feature petrol particulate filters to bring emissions down. Both the TCe 130 and more powerful TCe 150 units emit 137g/km and achieve 47mpg on the WLTP cycle, with torque outputs of 177lb ft and 184lb ft respectively.
