The latest Dacia Duster is more desirable than ever, but it still retains its appealingly low starting price of around £25,000.

It may be budget-friendly, but the Duster still comes with a respectable amount of kit, especially if you opt for Expression trim. This variant comes with useful features including a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Thanks to its cleverly designed interior, this tough, budget-friendly SUV is more than capable of taking on family car duties, too.

The hybrid-powered Duster is fitted with a 1.6-litre powertrain that’s sourced from parent company Renault and shared with the Dacia Jogger Hybrid, so it’s a tried-and-tested set-up. It shouldn’t be too difficult to achieve an average fuel economy figure of over 50mpg, either.

For similar money, Dacia’s own Jogger Hybrid is closest in ability to the Duster and has an extra pair of seats in the back. Otherwise, you’re looking at slightly more cramped, and more expensive small SUVs like the Hyundai Kona further down this list, the Jeep Avenger, or the Toyota Yaris Cross, which also has a four-wheel drive option.
