We're absolutely thrilled to share some fantastic news here at Dacia Retail Group! Our adventurous and robust SUV, the Dacia Duster, has once again proven its unbeatable appeal, sweeping aside the competition to win ‘Best Value Car’ at the prestigious 2025 Autocar Awards!
This highly respected award, presented in Autocar's annual round-up of the UK's best cars, truly highlights the outstanding value for money and incredible versatility that has made the Duster a firm favourite with drivers across the country.
Autocar’s expert judges were particularly impressed by the Duster's "chunky, fresh styling," praising how it gives the SUV "far more than an economy feel" and "the sort of style you wouldn’t ordinarily expect from a budget car."
Mark Tisshaw, Editor of Autocar, perfectly articulated why the Duster is their value champion: “The Dacia Duster capitalises on the seemingly obvious idea of offering buyers everything they need, nothing they don’t and just enough of the things they want. At a time when most new cars are becoming eye-wateringly expensive, it’s no wonder that Dacia cars have become wildly popular with private buyers.”
He further emphasised: “Don’t make the mistake of labelling the Duster as a bare-bones budget car, though. It’s a fashionable and popular SUV, for starters, and it really leans into the junior off roader feel with boxy yet confident looks, big wheels and an expansive bonnet. Hop in, and the angular dashboard and pillbox windscreen could almost fool you that you’re in a Defender.”
Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, added: “Every time the Duster wins an award, it’s not just for its incredible value for money, but also for its style and practical design, inside and out. For us, value is not just about affordability, but what you get for your money. We strive to give our customers everything they need, and nothing they don’t, at the very best price. We’re proud to receive this award from Autocar.”
The Dacia Duster is available in four generously equipped trim levels – Essential, Expression, Journey, and Extreme – and with a choice of three powertrain options, including an advanced hybrid. For those seeking genuine off-road capability, the option of 4x4 is available, boasting 217mm of ground clearance, impressive approach and departure angles, and a new 4x4 Terrain Control with five modes to conquer any conditions.
With prices starting from just £19,380 on-the-road, the Dacia Duster truly offers a compelling blend of robust styling, a practical interior, and a comprehensive array of safety and driver assistance systems. It’s clear why it continues to be the best value car on the market!
