Dacia Jogger SUV

1.0 TCe Expression 5dr [2024]

Dacia has been making massive strides of late.

Since its reintroduction to the British market, it has steadily climbed from a position of near ridicule to a manufacturer that is now taken seriously.

Although it has gone in a different direction to Skoda, which is easily keeping reputable rivals on their toes nowadays, the two automakers share a story of being a couple of previously unfancied brands that have succeeded in climbing the ladder. Dacias are now regarded as great value-for-money motors that punch well above their weight.

However, a more conspicuous reputation comes with greater expectations. So, we cautiously have high hopes for the Jogger, a mid-sized people-carrier-styled seven-seater MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle).

It is a brand-new car, too. This isn’t a facelift or an import that has been available in Eastern Europe or Asia for years. Sure, it shares similarities with other Dacias, so not every element is a clean-sheet design, but as a new arrival to the market, there is pressure on Dacia to do well.
