Question 1

Which automatic gearboxes did Dacia offer instead of a manual?

Accepted Answer

Older Sanderos and Logans offered the Easy-R automated manual, the second-generation Duster an EDC dual-clutch, and the current Sandero a CVT with the TCe 90. Today's full hybrids are automatic.

Question 2

What should I check on a used manual Dacia Duster 4x4?

Accepted Answer

That the drive selector engages its Auto and Lock modes cleanly, and how the clutch bites, as towing and off-road use wear it. The very short first gear is normal, not a fault.

Question 3

Is a manual Dacia cheaper to tax in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Road tax follows the CO₂ figure and fuel, not the gearbox, so a manual pays less only when its official CO₂ is lower. A dCi diesel is taxed with a 0.9 fuel factor, a petrol or LPG Dacia with 0.6.

Question 4

Which new Dacias come with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

The Sandero with the TCe 100, the Sandero Stepway and Jogger with the TCe 110, the Eco-G 120 on the Sandero, Jogger and Duster, and the Mild Hybrid 140 on the Duster and Bigster. All are petrol, the Eco-G and the Bigster's Mild Hybrid-G also running on LPG.
