The arrival of the Dacia brand in the UK came another step closer today as the first batch of 22 left-hand-drive Dusters, destined for dealer display nationwide from 28 June, arrived at the brand's import centre.

To give potential buyers their first taste of Dacia, as well as the chance to have a good look around the Duster SUV in the metal, each UK Dacia dealer will display a left-hand-drive version from 28 June, ahead of the arrival of right-hand-drive demonstrator versions in late Autumn.

Details of how the brand will be sold via appointed Renault dealerships will be announced in June.

UK pricing and specification for the Duster SUV range will be released on 28 June, with customers able to configure their preferred version online, including options and accessories. Customer deliveries will commence in January 2013.
