Dacia has launched an innovative all-wheel drive system for its SUV models, the Bigster and Duster, which features three different drive types integrated into one vehicle. As evidenced by the test drive in challenging terrains, this new system represents a major technological leap for the Romanian automaker. While traditional mechanical links between the front and rear axles are now outdated, this new approach might appeal to drivers seeking fuel efficiency and versatility for both road and occasional off-road conditions.

The hybrid variant, known as Hybrid-G 150 4x4, is advertised to deliver impressive range capabilities, with the potential to cover up to 1500 kilometers on a single tank due to its dual fuel storage system consisting of a 50-liter gasoline tank and a 50-liter gas tank. This innovative hybrid combines a mild-hybrid three-cylinder engine, which enhances fuel efficiency and lowers emissions, catering to environmentally conscious consumers while providing the necessary functionality needed in various driving scenarios.

As Dacia aims to attract a wider audience with these features, the new drive system could redefine consumer expectations of SUV capabilities, particularly for those who may not typically venture into extreme terrains. This advancement indicates Dacia's commitment to blending practicality with performance, potentially setting new standards within the automotive market and influencing future designs in the segment.
