Dacia Jogger: engines, hybrid and trims
The Dacia Jogger is a seven-seater estate car launched in 2021, one of the most affordable family cars in Europe. We look at the engines, trims, hybrid and twin-fuel versions, plus what to check when buying a used Jogger.
Jogger in brief
The Jogger is designed as a spacious and straightforward family car, costing less than most rivals. It's around 4.5m long, has a higher ride height like an SUV and is offered with five or seven seats.
It's a simple but practical car: a wide boot, a double-floor loading area and easily removable seats. It's ideal for families wanting more space for less money.
Versions and engines
The main petrol engine is a 1.0-litre turbo, with around 100-110hp. There's also a twin-fuel version, the ECO-G, which can run on petrol or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
From 2023, a hybrid version, the Hybrid 140, is offered, which combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine and two electric motors, with a total output of around 140hp. The hybrid has an automatic gearbox, while other versions have a six-speed manual.
Which versions to choose
If you mostly drive around town and local roads, the basic 1.0 TCe version will do the job. For longer distances and lower fuel costs, consider the ECO-G or hybrid.
The twin-fuel version is more economical for high-mileage drivers, but the gas tank reduces boot space. The hybrid is convenient in the city, but it's more expensive.
What to check when buying a used Jogger
The Jogger is relatively new, so pay close attention to its service history, body condition, and how the first owner treated it. Check all the seats, their removal and folding mechanisms.
In the gas version, check if the gas system works and if the mandatory inspection has been done. For the hybrid, ask for service records and check if the transmission operates smoothly.
Ensure the multimedia system works and inspect the interior trim — it may wear out faster due to simpler materials.
