It may get updated headlights on the sides. MORE: Dacia updates Sandero, Logan and Jogger with more tech to meet EU rules Looking further down, we…

Review: Dacia Duster remains the king of budget SUVs
Dacia is steadily transforming into a brand ideal for a certain type of audience, proving that cars can be affordable and cool at the same time. Leading the way is the new Duster, which embodies the Romanian automaker's core values while ushering the brand into a new era. We recently tested this updated subcompact SUV with the entry-level 1.0-liter Eco-G powertrain in a variety of driving conditions to see how much it has evolved and improved over its popular predecessor. Review: Jeep Avenger proves ICE and manual combos still have appeal Launched in November 2023, the third-generation Duster brings major updates both internally and externally. Dacia's new design language gives the vehicle a more substantial appearance, although it only increases by 23 mm (0.9 in), taking the overall length to 4,343 mm (171 in). Currently, the only subcompact SUVs in Europe that are longer than the Duster are the Citroen C3 Aircross and Opel Frontera twins. However, Dacia will soon…

Our test car was the flagship Extreme model, but it was powered by the less exciting non-electric 1.0-liter dual-fuel engine.

Dacia Jogger Hybrid review
Read Caroline's Dacia Jogger Hybrid review for all you need to know about buying Dacia's first hybrid car in Ireland. The Dacia Jogger caused a stir when it arrived in Ireland in 2022 because it was the cheapest seven-seater on the new car market. The Sandero and Duster are bigger sellers, but the Jogger still has its place on Irish streets. When it was launched, the model had a rather limited range and was only available as a petrol manual. Now, Dacia Ireland has unveiled the brand’s first hybrid car, the Dacia Jogger Hybrid. It promises more efficiency, more power, and if you’re looking for an automatic jogging machine, this is the one you want. It does cost a bit more than the petrol Jogger, but it still starts at €31,440, which sounds like great value for such a spacious and practical car.
