Double Dacia Win at the 2022 Auto Trader New Car Awards

In the 2022 Auto Trader New Car Awards, Dacia won Best Value Brand and Best Value New Car for its Duster SUV. Dacia has won the award for Best Value Brand for four years running, also winning in 2018, 2019 and 2021. The winners of the Auto Trader's New Car Award 2022 were determined by more than 156,000 UK car owners. The reliability of their cars, their performance, and their style were rated by drivers. The two awards confirm Dacia's position as a true consumer champion, with owners' real-world experiences underlining the brand's dedication to building robust and reliable vehicles that offer exceptional value for money.

Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Auto Trader said:

“When it comes to the best value brand, reliability, space and quality where all qualities consumers valued the most. Dacia owners told us that they felt overwhelmed that their car was good value for the price they paid. They said they loved feeling that they got a lot of features for a low cost and incredible value for money.”

ADAS features and a fresh new design were added to the Dacia Duster in 2021, along with a dual-clutch automatic transmission. The SUV has been Europe's top-selling retail SUV since 2018 and continues to be a big hit with buyers.

Erin Baker added:

“The Dacia Duster proves itself as the consumer's favourite car on a budget. The car has ample space and provides great value for drivers. We received some brilliant feedback from owners who commented on its low running costs, extolling the “economy of ownership.”

Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK and Ireland, said:

“We’re proud to accept these awards and it is great to once again be recognised as the ‘Best Value Brand’ in the UK. Providing robust, quality cars that are the best value-for-money in the market is core to what we do, and the fact that we have been given these accolades based on owners’ feedback really does highlight this.”

The award-winning Dacia range consists of the Sandero, Sandero Stepway, New Duster, New Duster Commercial and the All-New Jogger.

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.
