Vehicle details
The 2022 Dacia Duster Essential is the entry-point to the range, but don't let the name fool you—it is a significant step up from the old 'Access' trim. Following the 2022 facelift, this model adopted Dacia's new "DC" link logo and white-accented grille. Powered by the efficient 1.0-litre TCe 90 petrol engine, it’s a focused, honest workhorse that avoids unnecessary electronics in favor of long-term reliability. With 56, 000 miles, it has been used consistently for longer journeys, which is often better for a turbocharged engine than low-mileage city creeping. The Essential trim is designed for durability, featuring 16-inch 'Fidji' steel wheels (which are much cheaper to replace than alloys) and black plastic exterior trim that resists scuffs. Inside, you get the "Dacia Plug & Radio" system—a simple, effective unit with Bluetooth, DAB, and a built-in smartphone holder, allowing you to use your phone as the main navigation screen via the Dacia app.
