Dacia has cemented its claim to be the UK’s most affordable car brand following new figures released by automotive data experts cap hpi.

Measuring cars on a purchase price, insurance, road tax, servicing, fuel cost, and depreciation over a typical 30,000-mile/3-year ownership period, cap hpi’s latest Pence Per Mile (PPM) ratings saw Dacia take all three podium places.

The Dacia Duster 1.6 SCe 115 Air emerged from the study with a running cost of just 20.63p per mile, and total cost of ownership of £6,189 over three years or 30,000 miles, while the Dacia Sandero 1.0 SCe Access recorded the exact same figures to claim joint first place. In third was the Dacia Logan MCV 1.2 Access with a cost per mile of just 24.03p and total ownership cost of £7,209.

Louise O’Sullivan, Head of Dacia UK, said: “It’s great to see that our range of no-nonsense cars are proving to be affordable every day for drivers, not just in the initial purchase. By keeping things simple we’re able to provide the most affordable cars available to buy in the UK today, combined with proven reliability.”
