Jogger will be produced, starting with the end of 2021, at Dacia’s assembly plant is Mioveni, together with Duster, Logan and Sandero Stepway.
Its starting price will be EUR15,000, VAT included, and it will be the most expensive Dacia model so far, with the highest starting price. By comparison, the starting price for Duster is EUR14,100, but it is also the latest model “related” with Logan since 2004.
French officials say the Jogger is a compact segment model – in terms of length and also interior space, although its front is identical to the Sandero Stepway. The compact segment accounts for almost 40% of the European market, and compact SUVs account for over half of the segment on which Jogger was launched.
With 4.55 meters, Dacia Jogger is the longest Dacia model and with the largest wheelbase – 2.9 meters and a ground clearance of 20 cm.
Like the Sandero Stepway, the Jogger comes with rotating ceiling bars to allow objects to be transported and comes with door bands in the form of a thicker sticker – so as not to affect aerodynamics – compared with thick plastic ones or weight. Vertical taillights are placed at the back in order to have a tailgate as wide as possible. If the first MCV used two trunk doors, now Jogger comes with a tailgate, a solution considered more practical.
Its main feature, as in the case of the first Logan MCV, is the ability to carry seven passengers without problems. In this configuration the trunk has 160 liters. In the 5-seater format, the capacity rises to 708 liters, and in the two-seater format, to 1,819 liters. 24 liters of storage space are added to these.
Jogger will have two equipment lines – Essential and Comfort along with a “limited” one – this being Extreme from 2022, the moment of launch.
Unlike the first MCV, the Jogger will only be available in this version, without a van or pickup. The equipment lines will be similar to those of Sandero Stepway, including 3 versions for the multimedia system. The equipment will include six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, card instead of key and a new range of engines.
The engine range will come with three engines, two of which are completely new. The basic one is the Eco-G, with 100 hp petrol / LPG currently available on both Duster and Logan & Sandero.
The first novelty is the new 1.0-liter TCe engine of 110 hp, 200 Nm and 6-speed transmission. These two engines will be available from the moment the car is launched in 2022.
The third and most anticipated engine, although it will be available from 2023, is the 140 hp hybrid coupled to an automatic transmission. This will be the first Dacia hybrid model and its 1.2 kW battery will allow the electric start on the spot.
The starting price for the Jogger will be EUR15,000, VAT included, for the Essential version with LPG engine.
For Jogger, Renault officials expect a result similar to that of the Logan & Sandero range in safety tests, given the platform.
Sales will start in February 2022, and orders will be taken from November.
