Model guide

Dacia Duster overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior updates for the 2022 Duster are highlighted by a revised front grille featuring a 3D-effect pattern and Y-shaped headlights. Both front and rear assemblies feature light-emitting diode technology to improve road visibility. Aerodynamics are enhanced by a reshaped rear spoiler, while the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels ranging from 16 to 17 inches. Despite its compact footprint—measuring 4,341 mm in length and 1,804 mm in width (excluding mirrors)—the SUV retains its characteristic muscular stance and high-riding profile.

Interior

Inside, the 2022 cabin offers five seats with updated headrests designed for better comfort. A new center console features a sliding armrest with an integrated 1.1-liter storage compartment. Technology is centered around an 8-inch touchscreen media display that supports Bluetooth, USB connectivity, and smartphone integration via either wired or wireless mirroring. The sound system includes six speakers. Convenience can be enhanced with optional front and rear USB charging ports, and a MultiView camera system with four individual lenses provides a composite view of the vehicle's surroundings when parking.

Performance

Engine options for this generation include small-displacement turbocharged gasoline units, a bi-fuel variant, and a fuel-efficient diesel. The lineup starts with a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo producing either 90 horsepower on gasoline or 100 horsepower in the Eco-G configuration. A larger 1.3-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine offers 130 or 150 horsepower, with the latter available either as a front-wheel-drive model with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission or an all-wheel-drive variant with a six-speed manual. For diesel buyers, the 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel delivers 115 horsepower, offered in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive layouts.

Practicality

With a length of 4,341 mm and a wheelbase of 2,676 mm, the Duster balances maneuverability with interior room. Ground clearance stands at a generous 214 mm, enabling confidence on rough tracks or snow. The boot capacity provides a competitive 414 liters of space, making it suitable for daily tasks and travel luggage. A 50-liter fuel tank ensures decent cruising range, particularly when paired with the highly efficient 1.5-liter diesel engine, which achieves a combined fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 km in front-wheel-drive guise.

Safety and tech

Safety and driver assistance equipment features a MultiView camera setup, which incorporates front, rear, and side cameras to simplify low-speed maneuvers. This camera system activates automatically when reverse gear is selected. LED headlights and taillights provide improved illumination at night. The infotainment system acts as a hub for smartphone mirroring, allowing drivers to access navigation apps and hands-free calling safely. Standard safety features conform to Euro VI emission standards and incorporate electronic driving aids.

Buyer notes

When choosing a 2022 Duster, buyers should carefully evaluate their drivetrain needs. The 1.3-liter turbo engine with 150 horsepower offers the liveliest acceleration, particularly when paired with the dual-clutch automatic, but all-wheel drive is only available with manual gearboxes across both gasoline and diesel platforms. The 1.5-liter diesel is the clear choice for high-mileage drivers, offering low fuel consumption. Equipment packages vary by region, so checking the exact features of specific trims is recommended.
