I saw in the specs comparing the Hybrid140 and the tce130 4x4 that there is a significant difference regarding the Torque. Though the Hybrid 140 has 10 more HP, it has only 148 Nm Torque. The tce 130 4x4 has instead 230 Nm Torque. To me this is an important argument for a decicion pro tce130, because exactly with a suv I will need force to transport, to pull, to offroad, etc. And besides: The tce130 has also a higher Top Speed, namely up to 180 km/h compared to 160 km/h in the Hybrid140.

Great, practical video, thanks. I've had petrol and diesel (4X4) Dusters. The Diesel 4X4 had a very low ratio gear box. I will be very interested when you do a test drive of the mild hybrid 4X4 to see if the new mild hybrid gearbox is permanently on low ratio, throughout it's range. Thanks.

I like the mild hybrid much more. The system is lighter, smaller and will be cheaper to replace when the car gets 8+ years old. The 1.2 turbo engine is more modern and more economical than the 1.6 without turbo so in practice the difference in fuel consumption will not be as significant as advertised.

Hello Dan! Thanks for the video! I would like to ask if you can give us a rough estimate of how long these batteries last and how expensive they are. My personal opinion is that the full hybrid engines are more complex and therefore more expensive to maintain. Also, I agree with the comment about the low torque (~148 Nm) of the full hybrid engine, it's the same on the Renault Arkana model.

Really good video, to understand better these hybrid engines. As I want automatic, it has to be the full Hybrid, just have to wait for a test drive....

I am looking to buy Dacia Duster 140 Hybrid, what does annoy me is timing chain. It is stated to be life time of engine, which sounds ridiculously, unless engine is rated to last until end of warranty (150 000km). I believe same engine is used in Dacia Jogger and Renault Arkana, has someone experience with these engines and driven them already past 150 000km?

Please explain how the gearbox works. Is it an automated manual or a Dual Clutch?
Having 4+2 gears needs explanation.

When comparing the car performance, the mild hybrid offers a much higher torque, is slightly faster and average full consumption of the full hybrid is only slightly better. So I have a hard time understanding why the full hybrid is worth the price difference? Unless the full hybrid somehow offers a much better driving experience?

[mattmckeon]

What is the price difference between the two engines on the same trim level? The Hybrid 140 seems to be significantly more expensive (~3k EUR).

[butchbuiser]

Are they going to install or use these engines in stepway? with the 140hp full hybrid is that double clutch or cvt?

[dieudonnesama]

My question go like this if this car run out of petrol can the hybrid system still run the car?

[Loco-gmte]

There was law sue issue with the 1.2 engine ? Why do they keep it ... I guess it's not that much improved... tnx

[krosbfw]

cum, ventilatorul de la aerul conditionat nu e adaugat la calculul puterii totale? :))

I think I will go with mild hybrid. 0, 4 l more in fuel consumption isn't much and also 10 HP isn't much of a difference to me. I also don't need an automatic but 3000€ less for almost the same consumption is really good deal. Now I just have to decide between expression or journey.

According the manufacturer the battery on hybrid engines lasts 6-8 years (far less actually). The cost of replacing it is almost half that of the whole car. Good luck to those that plan to buy a car with the hybrid platform. As a general rule you never buy a new type of engine that hasn't been tested for a decade at least. Unless you want to be part of the experiment.
