New Hybrid Duster Gas Combines 1.2 Turbo Engine, 48 V Electric Motor, and All-Wheel Drive, Running Up to 1,500 km — Unprecedented Technology in the World, Awaited in Brazil.

Dacia is taking a bold step in the SUV segment with the new Duster Hybrid-G 150 4×4 — a model so revolutionary that it “runs on gas, goes further, and still helps the planet.” The bi-fuel configuration (gasoline + LPG), all-wheel drive, and 48 V electric motor create a unique combination, capable of running up to 1,500 km without refueling, according to the WLTP cycle. An achievement that, if maintained in Brazil, will redefine autonomy and efficiency in mid-size SUVs.

Unprecedented Technology That Combines Power, Range, Efficiency, and Gross Autonomy of Up to 1500 km

The system is a global first from Renault/Dacia:

1.2 Turbo MHEV 48 V Engine (140 hp) at the front axle.
31 hp Electric Motor at the rear axle.
Combined power: 154 hp, respectable torque of up to 23.5 kgfm (combustion) + 8.9 kgfm electric.
Dual-clutch (hybrid) transmission with a detachablerear cassette — a market first.
Automatic regenerative charging during deceleration, allowing for up to 60% of urban driving in electric mode only.

The result? An agile, efficient SUV with real electric presence in urban environments — and still benefiting from LPG savings on long trips.

What This Means for the Brazilian Market

Brazil is among the markets that consume the most flex-fuel SUVs. The arrival of a light hybrid model that also runs on LPG is a dream of efficiency and cost-effectiveness:

Cheaper Fuel (LPG) + Partial Electric Mode = real savings for everyday use.
All-Wheel Drive + Electric Motor at the Rear Axle = better off-road performance and safety.
Stimulus to Energy Transition, without giving up currently available fossil fuels.

If confirmed here, this Duster redefines what can be expected from a mid-size SUV.

Differentials That Elevate the Duster

Real Electrification with LPG: not a secondary conversion, it’s a factory hybrid system.
Light Hybrid 4×4: the rear electric motor kicks in automatically when traction is lost, ideal for mud, sand, or snow.
Dual-Motion Transmission: the rear electric two-speed gearbox is a global novelty — offers high traction at low speeds and efficiency on the highway.

When Can It Arrive in Brazil?

No exact prediction yet, but the SUV is “awaited in Brazil.” The launch in Colombia confirms Renault/Dacia’s move towards Latin America.

International analyses indicate that the hybrid Duster should arrive 6 to 12 months after the gasoline version, whose sales are expected to start in 2026. If the schedule is maintained, the Hybrid-G could land here as early as 2027 or 2028.

The New Duster Could Really Change the SUV Game

This Duster is not just another evolution — it may be the first mid-size SUV with a light hybrid bi-fuel system with such exceptional autonomy.

1,500 km of autonomy, with less dependence on expensive gas stations.
Real Savings with LPG and electric mode.
Intelligent Traction and Enhanced Off-Road Capability.
Unprecedented Technology in Transmission and Engine.

For Brazil, which values efficiency and versatility, it is a potential game changer.

With power, efficiency, and record autonomy, the new Duster ushers in a hybrid era far beyond electric. If Brazil confirms this path, mid-size SUV will mean much more than just appearance or space: it will be synonymous with autonomy, technology, and tangible savings — all delivered in an accessible package.

Essa **** de site é americano e deve ser financiado pelos EUA… Ou talvez seja financiado por Elon Musk. Hoje li uma matéria do FMI, um banco que vive às custas de empréstimos a países em desenvolvimento, tornando-os mais ainda dependentes do dólar e suscetíveis a crises internacionais… E é assim que os EUA se mantém como hegemonia – às custas das crises econômicas dos países em desenvolvimento. ****-se o FMI, o Elon Musk, o trump

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Sleeping with your pet seems harmless, but research reveals the nighttime detail that can turn comfort into sleepless nights.
