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

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

During works to build an artificial island in Indonesia, workers dredged 5 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and found over 6,000 fossils from a lost continent that submerged 10,000 years ago.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

A fossil remained forgotten for 70 years in a museum drawer — when re-examined with tomography, they discovered a 200-million-year-old predator with a bite that challenges what was known about crocodiles.
