Dacia Duster Bags Dual Award Win At 2025 Carbuyer Awards

Now in its third generation, the Dacia Duster continues to go down a hit with motorists. Loved for its rugged styling, practical design, and affordability.

The Dacia Duster has added two awards to its trophy cabinet at the 2025 Carbuyer Awards. The two coveted titles follow Dacia’s recent victory in the 2024 Driver Power Survey.

Read on to find out more about these latest wins.

Car of The Year and Best Small Family Car - Carbuyer

At the 2025 Carbuyer Awards, the Dacia Duster took home both Car of The Year and Best Small Family Car.

Judges were impressed by its upgraded design, handy features, and value for money. Paul Barker, Carbuyer Editor 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, Brand Director for the UK, also commented:

“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 Dacia Duster

So, what’s new with the latest Dacia Duster? Now in its third generation, the Dacia Duster has been given several key upgrades so it continues to meet modern motoring demands.

It’s now more spacious, and undeniably more stylish. Exterior upgrades include a Y-shaped lighting signature, reinforced wheel arches, and a more rugged look.

Now with a selection of powertrains including petrol, Bi-Fuel, and hybrid, the Dacia Duster is more efficient than ever before. The new Hybrid 140 powertrain incorporates a 230V battery with a petrol engine, with reduced emissions of 112g/km and no need to plug in to recharge.

A new 4x4 version also gives the Dacia Duster a real off-road edge, making it more capable of tackling a variety of terrains.

Choose from four trim levels to suit your tastes – Essential, Expression, Journey, and Extreme. Each is well-equipped, with standard features like cruise control, rear parking sensors, and more.

With an on-the-road price of £18,745, the Dacia Duster is one of the most affordable SUVs you’ll find. For such a reasonable price, it offers an impressive amount of technology, along with all the space you’ll need.
