Dacia Jogger review - one of the best cars in the world!

.............................................................

Introducing the all-new Dacia Jogger!

If you’re in the market for a budget-friendly family car that comes with absolutely loads of interior space, then look no further than the Jogger!

But what makes it so good? Well for starters, it’s oh-so affordable. Prices start at just over £15,000, and the range-topper only comes in at £17,745! Sure, it may look like an MPV mixed with an estate mixed with an SUV, but at a cost of just over £2,000 per seat, you can’t complain!

What’s more, there’s more than enough room throughout this car - even the third row has more than enough room to fit most people. If you splash out on the range-topper, you’ll also have a cabin up front that comes with some plush, soft-touch materials.

In terms of engines, there’s only one to choose at the moment - a 1-litre turbocharged 3 cylinder that can produce 109hp & 200Nm. It’s not much, but then again performance is probably the least of your worries if you’re in the market for a Jogger.

So what do you think - is this the best value family car around? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

07:49 The Jogger was given a one-star Euro NCAP score for its lack of electronic safety aids. It doesn’t have lane-keep assistance or seatbelt reminders for the third row of seats, and the auto-braking system detects other vehicles but not pedestrians.

However, the Jogger did score 70% for the structural protection it offers adult occupants, which is equivalent to a four-star rating.

So, does this put you off the Jogger or not? Let us know below!

I.m reading the coments and can.t belive the good reviews on this.
You can.t imagine the amount of hard work we put into what we do in our plant. I've been working for Dacia since 2004, and I must say, it.s the fist time I get to see what other people think about our work.
Thank you all 🙏

Thank you for reviewing normal affordable cars

Spacious, comfortable, affordable, cheap to maintain… times are hard now . Perfect young family car .

More brands should do what Renault did and is doing with Dacia. Smart and sensible no frills cars for people that are very sensible to how much a new car costs today. Skoda was a brand like that in the '90s and '00s but then "evolved" into the ultimate upper middle class family brand. Fiat could do it but they're more interested into the profitable 500 brand and with the exception of the Panda, have abandoned the "sensible price" segment.

DACIA is awesome ! For both west and east .. I drive this in Romania on roads that look like the moon surface and its very durable.. its strong AF, good ground clearence, perfect parts prices perfect, fuel consumption and range!

I just love how the comment section is so positive and vibrant, full of positive energy when ever Matt reviews cars that we can afford it's so pleasing. 😂😂😂

[ivannarvaez]

Really impressed. I really like these cheap cars reviews. It’s easy making a good car with unlimited budget, but really hard making it at a price point. Well done, Dacia.

[desther]

Dacia is my brand of choice for now simple for the price/value ratio. It is just unbeatable. I bought Duster at 2020 and i love it.

[TheSamaell]

People love the Dacia brand because for its price you expect it to do nothing and it does everything you need it to. The fact that it's not fancy, not techy, not pretentious makes it cool. It's just like that simple black filter coffe. It's a throwback to simple times.

I have never ever considered a Dacia. But I have to say, this looks like a brilliant family car and a genuine bargain.

[eamomonkey]

They definitely should make more cars like this. Personally im not bothered about lots of electronic gadgets, just a good engine and a nice looking, reliable car.

I recently got a used duster for 9k. After years of expensive car ownership, cayman, multiple M4’s, X5 40i, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Sounds silly but I love the cheapness of the duster. It has everything I need, cameras, Bluetooth etc and I’ve grown to love it. Granted it goes backwards in 3rd gear but driving along listening to fleetwood Mac I don’t care, I’m never in a rush.

Dacia showing how cheap the premium manufacturers are by putting HVAC controls in the correct spot: away from the touchscreen and on a set of physical controls.

[nducation]

Dacias, especially the Duster, are becoming quite desirable. They are a big hit here in Serbia. Our Romanian neighbors know what people need.

Brilliant, will send this to my dad as he’s looking at buying one. Thanks Mat!

[okithdesilva]

This Jogger is a good family car so my father will love to buy one. Thanks Mat!

"doesn’t have lane-keep assistance or seatbelt reminders for the third row of seats, and the auto-braking system detects other vehicles but not pedestrians" I think there's something seriously wrong with the NCAP rating system if not having those features marks the Jogger down so much. In fact after reading the NCAP report there is more to it than that, but not enough to explain such a dramatically low mark.
It feels like NCAP is so focussed on opportunities for manufacturer bragging rights and the safety industry's own project fear "let's churn and sell more" mindset, there's no appreciation left for cost / benefit and affordability, never mind sustainability, in the real world money situtations most people have to live with.
If you're so well off you can swap out your Skoda/VW/Merc/Rover etc every year to match these ever tougher and more complex standards, NCAP might be great for you.
For everyone else we get higher running costs and insurance as our cheaper used motors are seen to be a bigger risk.
Summary - yeah, I'd buy this on spec based on the Car Wow review. Not considering the Jogger because it misses some safety features while being very affordable and still remaing pretty safe (compared to a bog standard mainstream 10yo car) shows a very 1st world and entitled mindset.

To be fair I bought a new sandero based on matts review and for the price I paid I can’t fault it, it’s been a great little car and does exactly what it needs to

[jorgeguedes]

Finally a car, which not only I may afford without having to get a loan but is also practical, doesn't kill anybody by its look and plus, handles pretty well. I take Carwow reviews very seriously and I'm very happy to get Matt's approval to this affordable and kinda nice car too ☺️
