Illustration — use it to know where to look.

Location

Driver's side lower dashboard, small storage compartment to the left of the steering column, near the fuse panel. Open the compartment cover (marked with a yellow OBD indicator) to access the connector. Not in the glove box — this is the 2nd generation (2017+) location, confirmed distinct from the 1st gen which used the passenger glove box. Confirmed by Klavkarr (dedicated page for Dacia Duster 2017-...) and UK Dacia Forum thread 'OBD Port 2019 Duster'.

OBD port location in a Dacia Duster HM

HM 2012–2017

Passenger side glove box, bottom of the compartment, behind a removable plastic cover. Open the glove box, the OBD2 connector is at the lowest point behind a removable grey plastic flap. Not under the steering wheel — this is the same Dacia B0 platform placement as Sandero and Logan. Confirmed by Klavkarr photo database (separate Dacia Duster 2010-2017 entry distinct from Duster 2017+) and multiple diagnostic guides.
