Angling Times and Parkers crown best off-roader 2019
Parkers.co.uk and Angling Times have chosen the new Dacia Duster as the Best Off-Roader in the Parkers New Car Awards 2019.
The impressive new small SUV was praised for its long excellent finance and value for money, as well as being good to drive and having a tough and spacious interior.
The Duster is the perfect choice for the first Parkers Best Off-Roader award. The old model proved itself unstoppable in some of the world’s most hostile environments, and this one looks set to continue that car’s lead.
But the new Duster is more refined, better to drive, and has a much higher quality interior than what’s gone before, making this an excellent SUV for families who enjoy adventuring. The compelling price merely sweetens the deal.
The new Dacia Duster is a worthy winner
Parkers editor Keith Adams said: “The Duster really is all things to all people, and clear proof that Dacia is a car manufacturer on the move.
“Low-cost PCP and keen list prices might drive people into showrooms for this family SUV with great off-road potential, but the car’s all-round excellence is what will have them returning time and time again.”
The winning off-roader has been tested rigorously by the Parkers.co.uk team, which judged the best cars on a combination of running costs, value for money, cost-per-month figures and fitness-for-purpose.
It beat the highly recommended runners-up, the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Land Cruiser, both of which have enviable reputations for their off-roading prowess.
Ideal for all your fishing kit, and very competitively priced
Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk editor, added: “In the second year of running the New Car Awards, we’re excited to have come up with such an interesting selection of winners.
“We’ve applied what we know about what our users are viewing on Parkers, with the combined team’s century of editorial expertise. We’re happy to award the Dacia top honours alongside Angling Times.”
