The Jogger is Dacia’s new family car that takes the next generation of Lodgy and Logan MCV. Under the hood is a modest 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine with a capacity of 109 horsepower at an acceptable weight of 1205 kg. Can multiple passengers on board and their luggage impair the car’s performance, consumption, handling and safety? That’s what Car Wow tested in this video.

Regarding acceleration from 0 to 96 km/hThe Dacia Jogger claims 11.34 seconds empty (which isn’t fast anymore), 13.12 seconds with 4 people on board and 16.43 seconds with seven people and their luggage on board. Not enough to hold him against the runner considering his family vocation.

Security is not compromised

In terms of braking, Dacia Jogger does not deserve : starts from a speed of 96 km/h, takes 36 meters to stop with one passenger on board. It even surprises by offering the same result regardless of whether it is charged or not. Good point for security! In terms of behaviorThis is qualifies as “OK” with only the driver on board with 12.12 seconds to complete the exercise. A fully charged Jogger takes 13.96 seconds, but obviously suffers more from rolling without affecting its safety.

A demanding steep slope

The next test: consumption on a road section at a speed of 112 km/h. It ranges from 5.6 l/100 km to 6.1 l/100 km depending on the load of the car, ie. a completely logical increase of 18%. The last test will highlight the difference the most: climb a steep slope. Empty: no problems, except for a slight loss of traction on start. But when the car fills up, it becomes more and more difficult to start. Joger is fully loaded, it will be almost impossible to start. Fortunately, this is a rather exceptional situation.
