Dacia’s top-value Duster SUV has had a facelift, which brings a revised nose, a boosted engine range including a new 1.2 TCe petrol turbo and a fresh range-topping trim level called Prestige.

The new 123bhp engine comes in both two and four-wheel drive guise, which return 138g/km and 44.1mpg or 46.3mpg respectively. Meanwhile the Prestige – which costs £900 more than the Laureate it’s based upon – boasts unique 16-inch alloy wheels, a reversing camera and a touchscreen multimedia package with sat-nav. Digital radio and improved seat trims are now standard across the entire Duster range.

The model line-up kicks off with the fairly basic £9495 Access model in 4x2 form. At the other end of the spectrum, the top dCi 110 4x4 Prestige is £16,495.
