Built for business: Dacia Duster wins at the Business Motoring Awards

Proving it’s just as good for business as it is for daily adventures, the Dacia Duster has been named the ‘Best Small SUV’ in the 2025 Business Motoring Awards.

The awards provide a valuable spotlight on the market leaders in the SME sector. They are judged by an independent panel of automotive experts who use their real-world expertise to send a clear message about which products are ‘best in class’ and which set pace in a vibrant and competitive marketplace.

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

Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK commented: “Duster is already incredibly popular with consumers, but it’s great for it to also be recognised by the business community. From off-road adventures and supermarket trips to being a reliable daily workhorse for business and fleet drivers, the Duster is an extremely versatile SUV. We’re grateful to receive this recognition from Business Motoring.”

Businesses large and small can easily find a Duster to meet their requirements and budget thanks to four generously equipped trim levels and the choice of three powertrains, including mild- and full-hybrid options. Matching the robust styling, Duster’s practical yet comfortable interior comes complete with the latest connectivity options, as well as a comprehensive array of safety and driver assistance systems – all for prices starting from just £19,380 on-the-road.

For businesses that require a little extra traction, the 4×4 versions offer genuine ‘go-anywhere’ capability, with 217mm of ground clearance, impressive approach and departure angles, plus a new 4×4 Terrain Control that offers a choice of five modes to match the prevailing conditions.
