We’ve got some fantastic news to share! The all-new Dacia Duster has just bagged the ‘Small SUV of the Year’ award at the Auto Express New Car Awards 2024. This marks the first UK industry award for the third generation of our iconic Duster, and it’s a win that comes months before the SUV hits our showrooms later this year.
But that’s not all! The Dacia Jogger also received a ‘Highly Commended’ nod in both the ‘Family Car’ and ‘Affordable Hybrid’ categories. It’s great to see our vehicles getting the recognition they deserve, especially after a successful run at the 2023 awards too.
Why the Duster Stands Out
The Auto Express judges couldn’t get enough of the new Duster, praising it for building on the legacy of its predecessors. More than 15,000 UK car buyers have already shown interest since we teased early details last year.
Paul Barker, Editor at Auto Express, summed it up perfectly: “The new Dacia Duster takes everything that we loved about the old one and makes it better. It looks even more strong and chunky, it’s more efficient and practical than ever, and all wrapped up in a very affordable package. Everything we look for in a great small SUV.”
Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, added: “Even before the official UK launch, the All-New Duster is adding to the model’s award-winning legacy. New and existing Duster fans have already seen the positive reviews, but this award officially tells everyone that as soon as it arrives, it’ll be the best small SUV in the UK.”
What Makes the All-New Duster So Special?
The new Duster debuts with a tougher and more assertive design. It offers more space for passengers and luggage without being any longer than its predecessor. Plus, the platform supports electrified powertrains, including mild-hybrid and full-hybrid options.
The 4x4 version is more capable than ever, taking the Duster’s off-road abilities to new heights. It boasts more ground clearance than its rivals and excels in the non-expert 4x4 market.
Inside, you’ll find a more digitally connected setup and the use of tougher, more sustainable materials throughout. It’s all designed to make sure your adventures are as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
