A few years ago, Dacia was best known as the cheap and cheerful value alternative to the mainstays, selling cars that were light on equipment (and kerb appeal) and styled to a price.

But the brand's current line-up contains some of the most fashionable and attractive cars on sale, majoring on rugged, utilitarian charm and designed to draw the eye from much more expensive alternatives.

To find out what drove the change, deputy editor Felix Page spent a couple of days in the mountains with chief designer David Durand, to explore how he has taken Dacia from its humble, value-focused roots to a maker of outdoorsy, activity-focused multi-tools on wheels.

On this week's bonus podcast episode, Autocar Meets, Matt Prior talks to James Cameron, founder and CEO of the charity Mission Motorsport.

James has been running the charity, assisting former service personnel and their families through sports recovery, for almost a decade and a half. "We're trying to make people successful civilians," he tells us, as the pair talk about the charity's work, James's love of cars, and what makes a tank a tank - it's not as straightforward as you might think.

Our regular podcast, My Week In Cars, will be back each Wednesday hosted by Prior and Steve Cropley. For more, and for all things Autocar, join us at autocar.co.uk.
