Dacia’s Duster has a special place in many hearts for its blend of rugged, go-anywhere, wipe-down honesty and rock-bottom costs. So get ready to fall in love all over again, because now there’s a Dacia Duster Pick-Up.
An adapted version of the SUV, made with Romanian coachbuilt Romturingia but sold through official Dacia dealers, it has a double cab seating four and a metre-square load bed that can haul up to 430kg. With a local starting price of less than £22,000 (before VAT), It looks like being a rugged little load-lugger for not very much money.
So what’s the catch? Well, it’s only available in Romania, at least for now...

2025 Dacia Duster styling, interior and technology
Take a Dacia Duster. Cut the back off it, make the final metre into a load bed and add a tailgate. There’s your pick-up, all approved as an N1 goods vehicle and with two back seats left over. Seven colours are available – Sandstone, Lichen Kaki, Terracota Brown [sic], Glacier White, Schiste Grey, Pearl Black, and Cedar Green.
Inside, it’s pretty much the same as a regular Duster, although the middle rear seat has been replaced with a central armrest. Standard tech, depending on trim, includes a full complement of airbags, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning and a multi-view camera.
2025 Dacia Duster Pick-Up engines, performance and fuel economy
The Duster Pick-up comes with a choice of two powertrains – the Hybrid 140, with a 1.6-litre petrol engine and two electric motors or the Mild-Hybrid 130 4x4, which uses a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine and drives all four wheels. Dacia hasn’t released any official performance figures.
How big is the new Dacia Duster Pick-Up?
The Dacia Duster Pick-Up is the same size as the standard car – it measures 4345mm in length, 1813mm in width and is 1656mm tall. The 4x4 model has a ground clearance of 224mm, and the 1050mm by 1000mm load bed can handle a payload of up to 430kg.
Why isn’t the Duster Pick-Up coming to the UK?
Well, it isn’t going anywhere other than Romania – at least, not at the moment. However, if there's enough demand, that could well change.
