Detailed analysis of the Dacia Duster Essential Blue dCi 70 kW (95 CV) 4x2 · 95 CV (2020)
General description
The 2018 Dacia Duster, in its version with the 95 HP Blue dCi engine, is not just a car, it's a statement of principles. It represents the smart and honest purchase in a world of increasingly complex and expensive SUVs. It is the faithful companion that takes you where you need to go, asking for nothing in return but the essentials, winning hearts with its simplicity and robustness.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 95 HP Duster conveys a sense of calm and capability. It doesn't seek speed records, with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 12.6 seconds, but rather offers a smooth and economical ride. Its diesel engine, with a generous 240 Nm of torque from low revs, feels willing and sufficient for daily life and weekend getaways. The suspension is clearly comfort-oriented, absorbing road imperfections with a confidence-inspiring ease, reminding you that it's made for real life, not just for the showroom.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is an ode to functionality. The muscular lines and high ground clearance give it an imposing and adventurous presence. There are no unnecessary ornaments; every element has a purpose. Inside, the philosophy is the same: hard but durable plastics, simple controls, and a surprisingly spacious interior, topped by a 445-liter trunk. It's a design that doesn't age because its beauty lies in its honesty and its ability to withstand daily use without complaint.
Technology and features
The technology in this Essential version is strictly what's necessary, and that's part of its charm. It focuses on efficiency, with a Stop & Start system and a Blue dCi engine that complies with Euro 6 regulations, ensuring a combined consumption of just 4.9 l/100km. The electric power steering makes city maneuvering easy. You won't find large screens or complex assistants, but you will find the peace of mind of a proven and reliable mechanic, designed to last and not to cause problems.
Competition
In its price league, the Duster plays almost alone. Its direct rivals by cost would be SUVs from lower segments or second-hand models. We could compare it to a SsangYong Tivoli or the entry-level versions of a Fiat 500X, but none offer its combination of space, robustness, and off-road capabilities, even in this 4x2 version. Its biggest competitor is the idea that you need more car, an idea that the Duster dismantles kilometer by kilometer.
Conclusion
The Dacia Duster Blue dCi 95 HP is much more than a cheap car; it's a brilliant purchase. It is the rational choice for those who value space, reliability, and a ridiculously low running cost over superfluous luxuries. It is a vehicle that gives you freedom, the freedom to travel without worrying about consumption and to venture on broken roads without fear of damaging an expensive part. It is, in essence, the people's SUV, a deserved success that excites with its intelligence and pragmatism.
