Carbuyer has named the All-New Dacia Duster ‘Car of the Year’ and ‘Best Small Family Car’ in the 2025 Carbuyer Awards.
The highly coveted accolades are the latest industry awards to single out the model, having already won two previous awards ahead of its official launch in the UK.
Renowned for its expert advice in helping people choose and find their next car, the popular Carbuyer website declared All-New Duster its ‘Car of the Year’ and ‘Best Small Family Car’ after being won over by its sharp design, quality and host of clever touches.
Commenting on the win, Carbuyer Editor, Paul Barker, said: “The Dacia Duster has become a smash hit with British buyers who love its no-nonsense, affordable approach to SUV ownership. Well guess what, the third-generation Duster is even better. It’s more practical and electrified engines mean it’s more economical too. If you want it, there’s even a four-wheel drive version that’s a genuine budget off-roader. Dacia has always done value for money very well but the new Duster is a far more complete package than we’ve seen before from the brand. Sharp design, improved quality and a host of clever touches make it a fantastic small family car. And it’s still cheap to buy and run, too.”
Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, added: “Winning multiple awards for the All-New Duster before it has even arrived in UK showrooms proves that our iconic model’s success story is set to continue. We are proud that Carbuyer has recognised All-New Duster as their ‘Car of the Year’ and ‘Best Small Family Car’ and cannot wait to deliver the first cars to customers next month.”
The All-New Duster comes with more space, a more assertive and rugged exterior design, a choice of petrol, Bi-Fuel and electrified hybrid engines, plus the option of a 4x4 version.
There’s a choice of four trim levels – Essential, Expression, Journey and Extreme – all offering great value for money, equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, rear parking sensors, and an array of advanced driver assistance systems as standard.
The All-New Dacia Duster is available to order now priced from £18,745 on-the-road. It can be ordered now via www.dacia.co.uk or at local Dacia retailers.
