The Duster SCe 115 LPG S/S was an interesting take on Dacia’s value-focused SUV formula, combining a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre engine with a factory dual-fuel system designed to run on LPG or gasoline. In LPG operation, the engine produces 108 BHP and 145 Nm, while the five-speed manual gearbox sends power to the front wheels. That combination favors straightforward, economical motoring rather than outright performance, but it gives the Duster a distinctive character within the compact-SUV class.
The 2015–2017 Duster SCe 115 LPG S/S also retained the practical qualities that made the model appealing. Its 475–1,636-litre luggage area provides useful flexibility, while the LPG system adds another dimension to everyday running costs. A 167 km/h top speed and 11.4-second 0–62 mph time are adequate for normal road use, but the real story is the balance between simple mechanical engineering, generous space and alternative-fuel capability. It is a practical Duster with a notably different powertrain philosophy.
