The Dacia Jogger has underlined its impressive business credentials after being named ‘Best Value Car’ for the second consecutive year at the Business Car Awards.

The innovative seven-seat family car defended its title after once again impressing the judges with not only its unbeatable value, but also its space, drive, and the availability of the new electrified hybrid version – the Jogger HYBRID 140. Emitting at little as 109g/km CO₂ and able to return up to 57.7mpg (WLTP), the Jogger HYBRID 140 has a BiK rating of 27%, making it a sound business decision for company car drivers who need the perfect blend of quality, space, and affordability.

Made up of car market analysts, residual value experts and the Business Car editorial team, the judging panel considered running costs, driver desirability and fitness for purpose when picking its winning vehicles.

On the Jogger reigning supreme in the ‘Best Value Car’ category, Martyn Collins, Editor of Business Car, said: “We feel that Jogger still can’t be beaten for value, when considered against rivals. The rugged good looks haven’t changed, but Dacia has added a HYBRID 140 version – to further cut running costs. Still great to drive and well-equipped, this Dacia’s interior remains spacious, practical, and still significantly cheaper than any other seven-seat rival.” 

The Jogger wasn’t the only Dacia that got the seal of approval from Business Car. After considering every new car currently on sale in the UK, the judging panel whittled it down to a shortlist of four for the ‘Best Value Car’ accolade – with the Sandero and Duster also in contention.

Luke Broad, Dacia Brand Director for the UK, said: “Once again, this award proves that the Jogger really is the business when it comes to delivering value. We are delighted to accept it for the second year in a row and it’s a great illustration of how more and more fleets and company car drivers are realising how the Jogger can provide big benefits for not a lot, especially when chosen as a hybrid. What’s more, and as Business Car has recognised, the Jogger’s unbeatable value doesn’t compromise equipment levels or driver enjoyment.”
