New Dacia Duster with 1.2 TCe Turbo 125PS engine
The new Dacia Duster has a new engine from the Renault Group, the TCe 125 petrol unit. The four-cylinder 1.2-liter turbocharged engine brings 90 percent of maximum torque from 1,500 rpm and offering a combined fuel consumption of 6 l/100 km (39.2 mpg US) on the Duster 4x2. with to a six-speed gearbox, the engine makes 125PS (123hp) and features low running costs like lifetime-lasting timing belt
Dacia has borrowed Energy engines from his brother Renault. New Renault Energy engines channel technological excellence in F1 for mass-market road cars. This technological is Eco-friendly, with reduced fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and cost. Based on new-generation downsizing and designed by engineers who worked on engines in Formula One which these engines are packed with technologies that have never used before on units of their size.
The best power/fuel efficiency ratio: The Energy TCe engine is equipped with a low-friction timing chain. This new Energy engine is appeared in the first half of 2012, initially in the Renaults Mégane and Scénic range where it will gradually replace the 1.6 16V 110hp . it will represent an uprated performance package despite its 25 percent smaller cubic capacity:
- A light-weight and powerful turbocharged four-cylinder 1.2-litre engine (1,198cc) with direct injection.
- Maximum power of 125PS (123hp) 90kW .
- Peak torque of 190Nm between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm;
- Reduction in fuel consumption by 25 per cent. That works out as a saving of more than 1.5 litres/100km -compared to the engine it replaces and will give the car a range close to that of a diesel.
- Running costs will also take a significant plunge thanks to the combination of its timing chain and low fuel consumption and CO2 taxes.
- New-generation downsizing: on an all-aluminium block, an unprecedented specific power of 100hp/litre for a 1.2 petrol engine. A three-cylinder, 900cc 90hp TCe engine will soon be marketed showing it is a modular family.
