Dacia Duster Crowned 'Best Small Car/SUV' at Scottish Car of the Year Awards 2023

The Dacia Duster has been crowned ‘Best Small Car/SUV’ at the Scottish Car of the Year (SCOTY) Awards, with the judges commending the vehicle for its design, quality, and excellent value for money.

The Duster reaffirmed its place as a fan favourite for the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW) by impressing them with not only an enhanced specification but also its value for money which cannot be rivalled.

President of the Association of Scottish Motoring Writer’s, Alisdair Suttie, said:

The Dacia Duster is a previous winner at Scottish Car of the Year and this new model builds on everything that made the car a hit with our panel. The latest version brings a real step up in design and quality for this compact yet practical family vehicle while still offering the unrivalled value for money that has made it such a success for Dacia. Despite some fierce competition, it is a worthy winner of the title of Scottish Small Car/SUV of the year.”

The success of the Duster will continue with the launch of the brand-new 2024 model, but by winning this Small Car/SUV award, the Dacia Brand Director for the UK, Luke Broad, said:

“This award proves that the current model is still incredibly competitive in its ever-expanding sector.”

Broad continued: “Especially pleasing is that the judges have recognised its design and quality as well as its value, proving once again that Dacia not only builds highly affordable cars but also robust ones that are innovatively engineered and built to last.”

The Scottish Car of the Year Awards have occurred annually for the past 25 years. All eligible cars are assessed on several factors such as style, comfort, practicality, performance, and value for money, with judges driving more than 120,000 miles combined in the last year to decide their winners.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to.
