**Dacia Duster 1.0 TCe Expression SUV (90PS) – Budget Brilliance with a Rugged Edge** The Dacia Duster has long been the no-nonsense champion of value-for-money motoring, and in its latest 1.0 TCe Expression guise, it continues to punch well above its weight. Under the bonnet sits a plucky 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 90PS – not blisteringly quick, but perfectly adequate for daily driving and light adventure. Paired with a slick 6-speed manual gearbox, it delivers a surprisingly composed ride, with commendable refinement for its price bracket. Visually, the Duster remains unmistakably robust, with chunky SUV styling, roof bars and a raised ride height that hints at its go-anywhere spirit. Inside, the Expression trim strikes a sensible balance – no frills, but far from bare bones. You’ll find an 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone connectivity, cruise control, reversing camera, and air con – all the essentials covered. It’s no performance SUV, but its light steering, decent visibility, and soft suspension make it a breeze around town or on country lanes. The Euro 6-compliant engine also keeps emissions and running costs sensible. Where the Duster really shines is in its honesty. It’s an SUV that does exactly what it promises – without unnecessary tech gimmicks or premium price tags. For buyers who want practical, rugged motoring without breaking the bank, the 1.0 TCe Expression is a rare gem in a crowded market. Not flashy, but fiercely functional.
