New 2022 Dacia Jogger handed first public showing at Munich
Seven-seater replacement for Dokker, Lodgy and Logan MCV was presented on the firm's Lake Stand
Dacia has publically revealed the all-new Jogger at the Munich Motorshow, which is set to become the cheapest seven-seat family car on the market as it the firm continues to revitalise and expand its range of value-focused cars.
Following on from the launch of the new Sandero and inspired by the Bigster SUV concept, the Jogger is based around the same CMF-B platform as its supermini sibling but with a wheelbase stretched by 300mm to accommodate the additional rear seats. Crucially, it will be available as a hybrid – a first for Dacia.
Blending “estate car practicality, MPV spaciousness and SUV styling”, the Jogger has 200mm of ground clearance and, at 4547mm long, is Dacia's biggest model.
Despite the SUV looks, modular roofbars and scuffplates, the Jogger will be available with only front-wheel drive, as the Duster SUV will remain “as the true off-roader”.

Dacia to keep car prices low by avoiding "useless" features
Product boss says customers don't yet want to pay for complex electronic driver aids and other equipmentDacia will maintain a commitment to accessible pricing structures for its entire line-up, even amid mounting pressure from environmental and safety legislation.
Speaking to Autocar at the launch of the new Jogger at the Munich motor show, product boss Andreea Guinea explained that the average Dacia customer does not “want to spend much money on a car”. “They might appreciate the design of a car,” she explained, “but they don’t go into overspending.”
For that reason, Dacia will not endow its next-generation products with more safety technology or electrical components than is necessary, which is partly why the Jogger will first be available in pure-combustion guise, then hybrid, with no plug-in hybrid yet on the cards - it simply wouldn’t be cost-effective. “Customers aren’t ready to pay” for such systems, said Guinea.
The same ethos extends to the cars' functional interior and exterior design, she explained: “They don’t go for features that aren’t useful. Our brand strategy is to focus on the essential without being boring; we want to offer essential features in a cool way.”
Guinea’s comments come in the wake of the Sandero hatchback – now Europe’s best-selling car – being awarded only a two-star Euro NCAP crash protection rating for the relatively limited performance of its autonomous emergency braking system.

New 2022 Dacia Jogger is UK's cheapest seven-seater at 14,995
Seven-seater replacement for Dokker, Lodgy and Logan MCV is now open for pre-orders
Dacia has opened pre-orders for its new Jogger, which with a starting price of £14,995 becomes the cheapest seven-seater on sale in the UK.
It will be offered from launch in a choice of three trims – Essential, Comfort and Extreme – with air conditioning, cruise control and rear parking sensors equipped as standard across the range. Dacia highlights that, "in the interests of keeping things simple", just two options will be offered on top of that: metallic paint and a spare wheel. First deliveries are expected in the first half of 2022.
The entry-level Essential car gets an adjustable steering wheel, automatic headlights, electric front windows and automatic emergency braking as standard.
The £16,695 Comfort trim, meanwhile, adds roof rails, electric mirrors, automatic wipers, a reversing camera and alloy-aping steel wheel designs. Inside, it brings added soft-touch and satin trim elements, electric rear windows, automatic air conditioning and an 8.0in touchscreen with smartphone mirroring functionality.
The range-topping (and limited-run) Jogger Extreme SE costs £17,395, bringing black 16in alloy wheels, front parking sensors, heated front seats and wireless smartphone mirroring.

Dacia plots gradual EV roll-out to maintain affordable pricing
Budget brand expects to meet CO2 targets via lightweighting, not pricey PHEVs and EVs
Le Vot cited the example of the Jogger, which is due to launch in the UK imminently, pointing out that it weighs around 20% less than rivals at 1200kg in its base form. This means it can be powered by a more efficient engine that emits around 10% less CO2, according to its official test certification.
He hopes that by standing apart from the mainstream rush to electrification, Dacia will continue to attract value-conscious new car buyers and typical used car buyers – especially in today’s market, where high used prices have pushed new prices up. Luca de Meo, boss of parent company Renault Group, said last week that Renault's own line-up will go all-electric in Europe by 2030, but acknowledged that Dacia is likely to follow later, "at the last possible moment".
Le Vot said: “Let me be clear: we accept our environmental responsibility and will hit all our targets. But by creating lightweight, clean cars, we’re offering more customers a way of doing more for the environment at a lower ticket price. We will be ready with electrification when we need to be, but by then the costs of the investment in the technology will be amortised and we will be able to offer the technology at an affordable price.”

Dacia Jogger
WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“For this price and with its ruthless attention to detail, the Jogger is great just the way it is”
It could be that we’ve just driven too many electric vehicles recently, with everything driven by wire, but the Jogger has a rather pleasing mechanical feel to proceedings. It’s actually quite fun for a family bus, although given that we drove it without passengers onboard perhaps we should wait to try it with a full load before giving a definitive judgement.
You do find yourself looking at the car and thinking of the one or two little things that could really make it better. Could you do with more stuff? Sure, but that would ruin the point. Actually for this price and with its ruthless attention to detail, the Jogger is great just the way it is.

Dacia Jogger 1.0 TCe 110 Comfort 2022 UK review
Should I buy one?
The Jogger is the kind of car that will appeal to families who didn’t imagine themselves interested in an MPV until they considered it; not least because they assumed they simply couldn’t afford to be.
There’s a versatility to it that is the perfect ally to its incredible value for money, and that you needn’t have an army of children to see sense in, which should really convince those who take an interest in it in the showroom.
But there’s some distinctive visual character and alternative charm about the car’s design, too; as if it were some extra-functional, seven-seat successor to the old Skoda Yeti, except one built in Romania rather than the Czech Republic.
No-frills family motoring has a new champion in this car - and there has seldom been one quite like the Jogger that’s more accessible in its pricing, more generous with its versatility, or more likeable in the simple freedoms that it provides.

Dacia Jogger Extreme SE review: the range-topping budget seven-seater
Any other thoughts?
There’s not much in the monthly outlay between the base level trim (Essential) and this Extreme edition. Dacia quotes £225 a month for the latter versus £196 for the former and just £215 per month for the Goldilocks ‘Comfort’ spec.
There’s nothing really ‘extreme’ about the Extreme, and its humble passivity is refreshing. Though, a turbo V8 option with portal axles wouldn’t go amiss either.

Dacia Jogger given one star in latest NCAP tests
MPV, which shares a platform with Sandero Stepway, lost marks because of reduced safety for rearmost passengers
The new Dacia Jogger has scored one star out of five at in the latest round of Euro NCAP safety tests, while the DS 4 and Honda HR-V both secured a respectable four stars.
The results for the Jogger, the UK's cheapest seven-seat car, were based on those achieved by the Dacia Sandero Stepway with which it shares a nearly-identical platform.
The Sandero Stepway scored two stars out of five last year and Euro NCAP compared both cars before verifying that the Sandero Stepway's results could be applied to the Jogger, prior to completing further tests.
Dacia's MPV scored 70% for adult occupant safety and 69% for child occupant safety. It managed a 41% score for vulnerable road user protection and 39% for its safety assist functions.
The Jogger also lost marks because it didn't offer a seatbelt reminder for the rearmost seats and the side-curtain airbag didn't provide sufficient protection for those seated in the back.
