As the most recent Duster model from Dacia, the Series 2 SUV delivers a compact, family-friendly vehicle that can, contrary to popular belief, handle some off-road use.
While the forthcoming, third-generation Duster, due to be released in 2024, is already being celebrated for its enhanced off-road appeal by the likes of Autocar. The current Series 2 model has all the potential to be enjoyed off-road with the right upgrades. Read on to discover the HM upgrades you should consider for your Series 2 Duster.
The Eibach Pro-Lift-Kit Coil Springs
Suitable for Dacia Dusters manufactured from 2010 onwards, the Eibach Pro-Lift-Kit Coil Springs provide a little lift that extends the Duster’s limited ride height to make it even more capable off-road and across uneven terrain.
World-leading, German racing brand Eibach is well known for its performance suspension systems, with their precision-engineered kits able to work with stock dampers and shock absorbers. The progressive spring design promises increased ride height and better ground clearance for the lifted vehicle, which are both very useful when driving off-road or towing.
The Slimline II Roof Rail Rack Kit
The Dacia Duster HM scores highly when it comes to the internal space on offer, especially when compared with rival SUVs. Just take a look at this review from Auto Express:
“It beats the SsangYong for practicality as well, with a 475-litre boot that expands to 1,636 litres with the seats down. That’s bigger than the smaller (and more expensive) Tivoli’s 423-litre space that folds down to 1,115 litres. As it always has been, the Duster is great value for money when you consider the space on offer. There’s loads of boot space but passengers won’t feel cramped as there’s plenty of room in the back.”
For HM Duster owners looking to boost their storage capacity, however, a Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rail Rack Kit is an excellent choice.
The EVC Throttle Controller
If it’s enhancing the performance of your 4×4 that’s on your mind, use an EVC Throttle Controller Accelerator Booster to wake up your Duster.
This award-winning gadget taps into the responsiveness of your accelerator pedal to customise your throttle curve for optimum results. With a sharper throttle curve, you can achieve a better response, reduce lag, improve acceleration and boost your overall driving experience.
The ARB Premium Recovery Kit
There are many 4WD recovery rules to live by as the owner of a 4×4 vehicle, and this includes Duster drivers who only take their HM off-road occasionally. Be prepared for anything by packing your ARB Premium Recovery Kit and taking it everywhere you go. Inside, you’ll find all you need to launch your own self-rescue mission and get your Dacia Duster moving once more.
The Codebreaker 4 Scan Tool
Use the latest technology to your advantage with the Codebreaker 4 Mode OBD2 Computer Multifunction Code Scan Tool. With the Codebreaker Scan Tool, you can crack the code to diagnose your own faults quickly and make your Duster more efficient, cost-effective and enjoyable to drive.
