Dacia Celebrates Double Victory at the 2025 Auto Express Used Car Awards
Dacia has once again demonstrated its strong appeal to UK car buyers with two significant wins at the 2025 Auto Express Used Car Awards. The rugged and ever popular Dacia Duster has been named Best Mid Sized SUV of the Year for the third consecutive time, while the highly versatile Dacia Jogger has secured the title of Best Used MPV of the Year.
The annual Auto Express Used Car Awards honour the very best pre owned models in the market. Judging takes into account reliability, affordability, everyday usability and the opinions of real owners through the comprehensive Driver Power survey.
Duster Recognised for the Third Straight Year
The Dacia Duster’s continued success highlights its reputation as one of the UK’s most desirable and dependable used SUVs. Its combination of practicality, capability and low running costs has helped it stand out in an increasingly competitive segment.
Auto Express Editor Paul Barker praised both award winning models, noting that Dacia has long delivered excellent low cost motoring. He stated that the Duster represents a major step forward in quality compared with its predecessor and that both the Duster and the Jogger offer far more than simply good value. According to Barker, the two models exceed expectations and are not just options for buyers seeking the lowest price.
Available with three generously equipped trim levels and three powertrain choices, including an advanced hybrid and a 4x4 version that provides genuine go anywhere ability, the Duster offers robust styling, a practical interior and a strong selection of safety and driver assistance systems.
Jogger Earns Best MPV Title
The Dacia Jogger’s victory in the MPV category further demonstrates the brand’s strength in delivering family focused vehicles. It offers impressive space, clever design and exceptional value, qualities that are especially attractive to used car buyers.
The Jogger blends the practicality of a family estate with the rugged look of an SUV. It provides comfortable seating for seven adults and features useful touches such as innovative smartphone connectivity options, modular roof bars and removable split folding seats that offer almost 60 possible configurations. This flexibility makes the Jogger an ideal companion for family life and weekend adventures.
A Clear Reflection of What Dacia Stands For
Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, explained that these awards perfectly reflect the company’s philosophy. He emphasised that the Duster and the Jogger show that a car does not have to be expensive or complicated to perform strongly in everyday life. Owners appreciate their honesty, reliability and practicality, qualities that remain just as important in the used market. Broad added that the recognition from Auto Express shows that Dacia’s approach is delivering long lasting value to customers.
