The Dacia Jogger is a 5-door wagon from Dacia, built from 2021, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine. Alain Muschi drew it.
How it came about
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. Based on the third-generation Logan, it is offered in both five- and seven-seat variants.
The Dacia Jogger was unveiled on 3 September 2021, before its public presentation on 6 September 2021, at the Munich Motor Show.
The hardware
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1176 -. It shifts through a 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / Multi-mode 4+2-speed Automatic transmission / automatic (Hybrid 140). The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2897 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Dacia Logan MCV / Dacia Lodgy / Dacia Dokker (passenger version); assembly was at Mioveni. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Kia EV6, the Tesla Model Y, the Nissan Z — show what else the money bought that year. Its Dacia stablemates include the Dacia 1100 and the Dacia 1210.
