2023 DACIA JOGGER GETS HYBRID POWER! REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Dacia Jogger Hybrid 140 is reviewed, focusing on its value proposition and practicality. The reviewer highlights the car's robust design, enhanced by Dacia's new branding, and practical features like standard roof rails and clever boot space solutions, including removable third-row seats. While acknowledging the interior's hard plastics and the steel wheels with hubcaps designed to look like alloys, the reviewer praises the overall practicality and affordability. The hybrid system is a significant upgrade, offering up to 80% electric driving in the city and a smoother, more responsive experience than the petrol model, achieving a respectable 51 MPG. However, the car's major drawback is its one-star Euro NCAP safety rating, attributed to a lack of advanced safety features and protection for the rear-most seats. Despite this, the reviewer concludes that the Jogger Hybrid offers excellent value for money, particularly for families prioritizing space and cost-effectiveness, with the hybrid powertrain being a key differentiator.
