Dacia is bringing its famed value-for-money approach to the 7-seater family car sector with the launch of the All-New Dacia Jogger. The Dacia Jogger - adding to the brand's model line up in the UK of the All-New Sandero, Sandero Stepway and New Duster - is set to redefine the 7-seater family car, offering larger families something that is refreshingly different to the norm. The Dacia Jogger offers unrivalled versatility by adopting the key attributes of each market segment: the length and practicality of an estate car, the spaciousness of an MPV, and the styling and reassurance of an SUV. The result is a family car that exists in a class of its own, delivering a price-to-spaciousness ratio that is unique to Dacia.
With a name that embodies the brand's outdoor spirit, its positive energy and sense of adventure, the Dacia Jogger is a life-long companion, ready for the daily lives of families whether navigating urban environments or looking to get away into the great outdoors. With its generous proportions and strong stance, the All-New Jogger offers an unparalleled level of practicality that's sought out by families. Smart thinking and clever touches feature heavily in the All-New Jogger, from the ingenious modular roof rails to the innovative Media Control system that places the smartphone at the centre of the car's multimedia system. At launch, the All-New Dacia Jogger will be available with two engines, including the brand new TCe 110 turbocharged petrol engine. Dacia remains the only manufacturer to offer a full range of bi-fuel models, a commitment the All-New Jogger continues with the availability of the LPG TCe 100 Bi-Fuel engine. Joining the range in 2023 will be Dacia's first hybrid powertrain option, making the All-New Jogger the most accessible 7-seat hybrid on the market.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The All-New Dacia Jogger is based on the company's modular CMF-B platform that also lies at the heart of the new Sandero. In the Jogger, a unique rear module extends the car's length to just over 4.5m, making it the longest model in Dacia's range. This extra length is key to the Jogger's spaciousness, allowing it to deliver the same level of versatility as many larger models from the segment above. The body structure has been reinforced in key areas to protect against the shocks that are a natural part of an active life, while a generous 200mm of ground clearance (unladen) ensures the Jogger will be more than up to the challenge of a family adventure. This ready-for-anything spirit is reflected in the All-New Jogger's styling, with a bold, wide grille flanked by Dacia's signature Y-shaped LED daytime running lights. Integrated within headlights that feature LEDs as standard for low-beam illumination, the use of LED technology not only consumes less energy but also provides stronger, clearer lighting to see and be seen at night. At the rear, the vertical rear lights maximise the width of the tailgate making loading easier, particularly for bulky items. Similarly, a low load sill provides easy access to the Jogger's spacious cargo area. Continuing the sense of readiness for the great outdoors, modular roof rails (depending on model) use an ingenious patented system that transforms them in just a few simple steps to accept anything from skis to mountain bikes, complete with a generous 80kg carrying capacity.
INTERIOR AND FEATURES
Thanks to its 4.5m length and 2.9m wheelbase, the All-New Dacia Jogger offers unrivalled interior space for a family of seven. With three full rows of seating, the All-New Dacia Jogger can easily accommodate seven adults in comfort or, with the split-folding seats arranged into one of more than 60 possible configurations, up to 1,819 litres VDA of cargo space. On selected models, the feeling of spaciousness is accentuated by a textile strip that runs across the dashboard, where the driving components (instrument panel, multimedia screen) are located above the strip, while easily accessible controls (air conditioning, driving aids) are found below. The same textile also features on the front door armrests. All the seats are sculpted to provide the driver and passengers with optimum support and comfort. The split-folding second row seats offer the same seat height (758mm) as those in the front, together with generous foot- and knee-room. Access to the third-row seats is via a tipping mechanism on the second row, made easier by longer rear doors, and once aboard occupants will discover an impressive 855mm of headroom and 127mm of knee-room, which are among the best of 7-seat passenger vehicles currently available and allow two adults to sit comfortably. The boot offers up to 213 litres of storage space with all seats in place, rising to 712 litres with the third-row seats folded down and measured to the top of the backrest. With the second-row seats folded down and the third-row seats removed, the Jogger offers an impressive 1,819 litres VDA of cargo space.
ENGINES
A range of modern and fuel-efficient engines - all Euro 6D Full-compliant and equipped with Start&Stop as standard - power the All-New Dacia Jogger, including an innovative bi-fuel engine and a hybrid option to follow later. The all-new TCe 110 is a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, direct injection turbocharged petrol engine that boasts 110hp and 200Nm of torque at 2,900rpm. It uses several technical innovations to increase output, improve fuel economy, and reduce emissions. Its aluminium block construction reduces overall weight, while variable valve timing and a variable displacement oil pump help boost performance while reducing fuel consumption. The integrated exhaust manifold, particle filter and central injector help reduce CO2 emissions, while a smooth-shifting, low-friction six-speed manual transmission helps deliver the best possible performance. The TCe100 Bi-Fuel engine continues Dacia's commitment to offer a full range of bi-fuel petrol/LPG vehicles. When running on LPG, average CO2 emissions for the Dacia Jogger are 10 percent less than for an equivalent petrol engine at 121g/km. In addition, the 40-litre LPG tank and 50-litre petrol tank give the Jogger a combined maximum range of 621 miles with WLTP combined cycle economy of up to 37.1mpg.
