Dacia Updates Jogger with Hybrid Option and Fresh Look

The updated Dacia Jogger has been unveiled at a price point that remains competitive, starting from £18,995 – just £25 more than its predecessor. This mid-life facelift comes four years after the initial launch of this seven-seat estate model.

One of the most significant changes is the introduction of a new Hybrid 155 powertrain option, which pairs a 108bhp 1.8-litre petrol engine with an integrated starter-generator and a 49bhp electric motor to produce a combined output of 154bhp and 125lb ft of torque. This system includes a 1.4kWh battery that allows for short periods of engine-off driving.

Compared to its predecessor, the Hybrid 155 offers a noticeable improvement in fuel efficiency, achieving up to 61mpg – an increase of 10% over the previous model’s claimed consumption figures. This translates to reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 10%, making it more environmentally friendly without compromising on performance.

The new Hybrid 155 replaces the earlier Hybrid 140 variant, which had a lower output and less efficient fuel economy. The updated powertrain is available from the mid-tier Expression trim upwards, priced at £23,330 for the former and reaching up to £24,630 for the top-of-the-line Extreme model.

For those not interested in hybrid technology, Dacia continues to offer a 108bhp TCe 110 petrol engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. This traditional setup remains an option at the entry level of the Jogger’s range, ensuring that buyers have multiple choices based on their preferences and needs.

Competitively priced in its segment, the updated Dacia Jogger aims to attract customers looking for a practical yet affordable seven-seat vehicle with enhanced fuel efficiency. Its rivals include models such as the Skoda Karoq and Renault Kadjar, which offer similar seating configurations but may come at higher price points or have less efficient powertrains.
