The electric MG4 is the UK Car of the Year 2023, with the Dacia Jogger in second place and the Toyota GR86 in third.

Dacia Jogger gets Extreme and turns into a CAMPERVAN
Dacia announces a new Extreme trim for the Jogger, Stepway and Duster, and a Sleep Pack option to turn the Jogger into a Campervan.

Dacia Manifesto Concept – Dacia’s Butch BUGGY flight of fancy
The Dacia Manifesto Concept arrives as an outdoor adventure buggy that’s ‘cool, robust and affordable’ according to Dacia.
