Appearance enhancements and an extensive range of Rally Raid accessories are among the key upgrades for the Dacia Duster Soul
As a brand, Dacia is loved for its affordability, reliability, simplicity and practicality. Now, Dacia will set a new milestone by participating in the Dakar Rally for the first time. The 2025 Dakar Rally will be held in Saudi Arabia from January 3 to 17. The company has now launched a Dakar Rally themed special edition Duster. Let’s take a look.
Renault Duster Dakar Rally Edition – Soul of the Dakar
Even in stock form, the new generation Duster has an eye-catching design. The visuals of the Dakar Duster Soul concept have been significantly enhanced. Dacia recently unveiled the concept at an event in Milan, Italy. The Duster Soul of Dakar is part of the brand’s first participation in the Dakar Rally celebrations.

The Dakar Dacia Duster Soul concept car is likely to be the inspiration for more special versions in the future. Although the Dacia Duster Soul of Dakar looks unique, it is actually inspired by the Dacia Sandrider that will compete in the 2025 Dakar Rally.
Sandrider will compete in the Ultimate T1+ category. It will run on synthetic fuel and feature a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 360 horsepower. Talking about the Dakar Dacia Duster Soul, the concept comes in an exciting color theme of white and orange on a black background. The hood has jagged orange stripes, while other surfaces have straight lines.

The Dakar Dacia Duster Soul features a splash of white on the sides. Another distinguishing feature is the bold “DACIA” lettering on the bottom of the front door. The concept’s alloy wheels also feature a new design. Orange stripes are also visible on the back.
Rally accessories
The Dacia Duster Soul in Dakar is equipped with a sturdy-looking roof rack. The SUV also comes with a number of off-road accessories from Dacia’s InNature accessories range. There is a tarp bag and a large lockable cargo box. A shovel is also part of the off-road accessory package.

Inside, one can see multiple YouClip accessory mounts. They can be used to hold a variety of items such as bags, drinks, tablets and smartphones. Apart from these new additions, everything else remains essentially the same as the original model, which is also likely to be launched in India sometime in 2025.
It includes a 1.2-litre TCe petrol turbo three-cylinder mild hybrid system producing 130bhp. It has a 6-speed manual transmission. The mild hybrid system includes a 48-volt starter-generator.

Renault will also launch the Bigster SUV, a 7-seater version of the new Duster. It will challenge SUVs like the Tata Safari, XUV700 and Alcazar.
