Dacia hybrid technologiesGet the best of both worlds without changing your habits!
How does it work?
Hybrid combines a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor that serves multiple functions.
- hybrid 155
- mild hybrid 130 4x4
- mild hybrid 140
full hybrid
Composition
1 combustion engine
Clutchless multimode automatic gearbox
1 self-charging 280 V traction battery
Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
The electric motor allows 100% electric driving, and provides a power boost to the internal combustion engine the rest of the time.
It also converts the recovered energy into electricity to charge the traction battery.
The multi-mode gearbox automatically switches between 3 driving modes:
- 100% electric
- electric + combustion-powered
- 100% combustion-powered.
- Instant acceleration in EV mode
mild hybrid
Composition
1 combustion engine
1 starter-alternator
1 self-charging battery
1 rear-wheel drive shaft
Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
The internal combustion engine gets extra torque from the starter-generator when driving is most energy-intensive, such as starts or accelerations.
It also helps recharge the 48 V traction battery.
The 4X4 Terrain Control offers 5 driving modes:
- Auto
- Snow
- Mud/Sand
- Off-road
- Eco
- 4x4 transmission and electric power-assistance

Do you have any more questions?
The traction battery of your Duster hybrid system is under warranty for 8 years or 100,000 miles for hybrid engines, and 3 years (unlimited mileage) for mild hybrid engines.
Yes. Depending on use, the driving range of a hybrid vehicle is greater than that of a combustion-powered or electric car, since you can alternate between multiple energy sources.
You cannot drive in full electric mode with the Duster mild hybrid powertrains.
It involves mild hybridisation of the vehicle, which provides assistance to the combustion engine only during starting and acceleration to reduce consumption and improve performance.
With hybrid vehicle batteries (full or mild hybrid), you don’t need any special connectors. They recharge automatically as you drive when the vehicle brakes or decelerates.
