I believe it's Jogger, or 'Yogger', it might be a soft J. Either way, it's Dacia's latest seven-seater, and we've driven it:
and has seven seats. Front-wheel drive only, but with 200mm of ground clearance and the sort of tough body cladding that’ll shrug off any trolley that the Morrison’s car park has to offer.Dacia says it blends ‘the practicality of an estate car with the spaciousness of an MPV and the styling of an SUV’. Unusually for something we’ve quoted directly from the press pack, that’s not too far off.
This tester’s a generously proportioned 6’2 and fit impressively comfortably. Adults might not want to remain back there for the duration of a family road trip, but for anyone under 5’10 or so it’s a perfectly acceptable way to gad about town. You even get pop-out windows back there, a nostalgic touch that brought us right back to days spent in the third row of the family Espace.
The second row doesn’t even come out, instead tumbling forward. When that’s done and with the third row removed you do get a massive load area – 2m long and a metre wide, over 1,800 litres in capacity. But it’s a shame it’s not as configurable as its rivals. As for handling, if you like softly-sprung and very French you’ll enjoy the way the Jogger makes progress. Though it’s undeniably a bit wallowy in the corners, it effectively takes the edge off almost any bump, further helped by relatively large-diameter wheels. Just don’t expect precision.
Top-spec ‘Extreme SE’ cars get navigation added plus heated front seats and a raft of styling extras to make it look more rugged. Sales performance will dictate if this is made a permanent part of the model range, or replaced after a few months with a more conventional range-topper.
