The Dacia Jogger is a car produced and marketed jointly by the French manufacturer Renault and its Romanian subsidiary Dacia. Its nameplate was revealed in August 2021 as a successor to the Logan MCV, Lodgy and Dokker in the compact MPV market segment.[5][4] Based on the third-generation Logan, it is offered in both five- and seven-seat variants.[6][7]

The Dacia Jogger was unveiled on 3 September 2021,[8] before its public presentation on 6 September 2021, at the Munich Motor Show.[9]

Overview

edit

Despite being intended to compete in the MPV market, the Jogger shares its platform and many parts (dashboard, front) with the third generation Sandero and Logan, making it essentially a long-wheelbase wagon version of these models, similar to the former Logan MCV.[10][11][12]

While the car has some crossover design elements, it is not intended to be used as an SUV.[4]

2022 refresh

edit

In June 2022, less than a year after its commercial release, the Jogger received a slight update revealing the brand's new logo alongside the entire Dacia range. The grille was slightly modified to accommodate the new logo. The trim levels have been revised and a new Lichen Kaki colour is launched.[13][14]

The Jogger is also available with a hybrid powertrain, dubbed the Hybrid 140, which refers to the 140 hp (104 kW) output,[15] the same as the full-hybrid 1.6 TCe 140 12V petrol engine found in the Renault Clio, Captur and Arkana. The Jogger Hybrid 140 is equipped with a 4-speed automatic electric gearbox, which two-speed attached to the combustion engine and a two-speed gearbox attached to the electric motor.[16]

The powertrain was revealed at the 2022 Paris Motor Show,[17] with orders open from January 2023 and first deliveries arriving in March of that year.[18]

In March 2023, Dacia unveiled the optional Sleep Pack for the Jogger, which turns it into a camper.[19][20] The factory kit was announced at the Brussels Motor Show alongside the debut of the Extreme flagship trim for the Spring, Sandero Stepway, Jogger and Duster.[21][22]
