Double Award Delight For Dacia

Dacia has been given reason to cheer after securing gongs from two different award ceremonies, with the Jogger and the Duster both being recognised for stand out performances in their respective sectors.

The Jogger was named as the ‘Best Hybrid Estate Car’ by Diesel & EcoCar Magazine having earned a spot in the Electrified Top 50 Awards.

The awards, now in their fourth year, are designed to highlight models that show ‘innovation, efficiency, performance, and affordability’, and are open to all manner of electric and hybrid machines.

The Jogger Hybrid combines a 1.6 litre turbo-charged petrol engine with two electric motors and can manage more than 57mpg whilst returning emission figures of just 109g/km, with prices starting from under £18,000.

“The Dacia Jogger hybrid redefines value in the family car segment, combining a spacious seven-seat estate body with highly efficient hybrid technology,” said Ian Robertson, Editor, Diesel & EcoCar.

“As our Best Hybrid Estate Car for 2025, the Jogger hybrid makes electrified motoring more accessible than ever for large families on a budget in these cost-conscious times.”

The Duster meanwhile was honoured in the Business Motoring Awards, where it was named as ‘Best Small SUV’.

The latest version of the Duster is offered with three different powertrains that includes both mild and full hybrid options and is available in base trim from £19,380 OTR.

“Dacia has become renowned for its budget product and the Duster epitomises the brand,” Andrew Charman, Industry and Road Test Correspondent at Business Motoring, said. “[It’s] a thoroughly practical small SUV at a price that makes it highly affordable.”

The Duster recently secured the ‘Best Value Car’ at the Autocar Awards.
