You'd need to test drive one to know for sure. There's another current thread where the Logan is recommended, from actual experience, with the 0.9 petrol turbo. A Duster is a different shape but can't be all that much heavier.

Dusters are surprisingly light.

The diesel 2x4 is only 1270kgs. the 4x4 is a bit heavier

Indeed. The Captur I have in our fleet is surprisingly fleet for 0.9l. It took two of us from Manchester to Stirling and back on the motorways with no complaint from either driver or the car.

smart also use the 0.9l turbo in the new range.

Having driven that and the 1.0 non turbo in the for four they are completely different - the turbo transforms it from school run car to something you can have fun driving. It proves to me that a smart without a turbo isn't a smart!

Brabus version with 110bhp will be available this year.

Not surprising given the new Smart is a rebadged Renault Twingo.
