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. 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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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. All the seats are sculpted to provide the driver and passengers with optimum support and comfort. 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.
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.
All Dacia Jogger models feature six airbags, including curtain and side airbags that protect the abdomen, chest, and head areas, as well as a range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Blind Spot Warning is active from 19 to 87mph and warns the driver of a potential collision with another vehicle that may be concealed from view. Four ultrasonic sensors detect vehicles including motorcycles approaching from the side or rear, illuminating an LED light in the corresponding door mirror as a warning. Emergency Brake Assist operates from 5 to 105mph and uses the front-mounted radar to measure the distance to the vehicles ahead. Should the system detect that a collision is imminent, it warns the driver with a combined audio and visual cue. If the driver fails to brake hard enough or at all, the system can either amplify the braking effort or apply the brakes automatically.
