What Do You Do When The Unexpected Happens?
Film a Contingency Review! In this sixteenth episode, we test a 2023 Dacia Jogger 1.6 E-Tech Hybrid Extreme, which is really nothing like the old Logan MCV at all. On this occasion, we receive some assistance from Mr Bill from the Fuel Power channel ( / @fuelpower , talk about regenerative braking, try out the third row of seats and generally ramble on about things of no consequence at all. Nothing untoward, then!

What a well thought out family car, I have always liked the fact that Dacia offer such value for money. Top Contingency Review, very interesting, thank you sir, and Mr Bill!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

It was sort of done on the spot), but for some reason we managed to put together something relatively pertinent, which came as a bit of a surprise... Thank you, sir!

[@teamJJontour]

Good Evening Sir and great review. Dacia are massive in Germany and are growing daily.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, we enjoyed ourselves yesterday! The Germans do seem to know good value when they see it.

[@eamol]

There is so much to this car, I feel...Super review!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, I can see why people have been asking to see one on the channel for so long!

[@adamtoms2726]

Thanks to both of you Sir and Mr Bill for bringing this review to us. I was not convinced of the 1.0 turbo would be the right engine for this amount of car especially when fully loaded. So was delighted to hear that Dacia would be putting in another engine. Shame it's automatic only. The top spec model looks good and has all the kit I think most buyers would need at a very sensible price, especially when looking at the competition. There really isn't any. Thanks for another stellar review Sir.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, with both these engine options, I think Dacia have covered a lot of the bases which most buyers would consider. Hybrids don't seem to come with manual gearboxes these days, I am afraid. The price is very competitive indeed.

[@David_H-73]

Great to see you both working together, impressive car for the price and I am a new logo fan. I thought DMC when the new logo was announced, your the first person to mention it in a video I have watched.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, I am glad you also enjoyed seeing what I did! It all sort of came together at the last minute, hence this is an episode of Contingency Reviews. Thank you again, sir!

[@nigel1654]

That beep was the fact your speeding on that road. I've got one. I love it. Like a swiss army knife. Dose everything.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting!

[@JoePeddie]

I just picked up A Hybrid SE extreme, they stopped doing wireless Android Auto, due to chip shortage. Was told this when bought , told online and youtube videos and told again on collection. Guess what my car has, Wireless Android Auto As for the regen Braking, its superb. Remember its a hybrid not full electric. Its better than the Honda Jazz Crosstar, that i have owned

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I have driven a lot of hybrid cars, including the Renault Captur I may have mentioned in the video and some of them do have more severe regenerative braking. It's down to personal preference as to what of severity you like. You are correct, Dacia have recently realigned the trims, which is very confusing. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting!

[@mischafalkenau4537]

Thank you for doing this review. I am hoping this car sells extremely well. I like it a lot and would like to purchase a second hand version as they become available. Excellent unbiased review and has illustrated vehicle extremely well.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

The car was launched about fifteen months ago, so secondhand examples are already out there, if you just want the 1.0. Glad you enjoyed the review, this car is proving popular from what I understand!

[@daangroenewegen3747]

The only thing is, that I ordered my Jogger Hybrid in the beginning of february this year. I didn't actually test drive the hybrid version, but ordered it on rumors and specs 🙂I'll be one of the first to drive the hybrid in the Netherlands. So I was a bit surprised by the model upgrade which was announced even before the first showroom models arrived here. Even on first arrival I'll be driving the 'old' model with the old fabric and without the copper accents. That just doesn't feel right.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

It's very odd. As you say, the car was recently "facelifted" for the 2024 model year, but they don't seem to have told those who had ordered them originally about it, so I imagine you will be getting the 2023 model, sadly.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Thank you to yourself and Mr Bill,for this review for £24k this makes a lot of sense for a young family they maybe have more than 2 kids for example friends of ours have a Jogger as they have 4 kids and it's sensible family transport for people who do not want to spend huge amounts of money on a SUV. I think it's rather more estate looking than SUV.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, £24,000 sounds like an awful lot of money, but when you think about the price of secondhand cars these days, you sort of realise that it is not too bad. These will hold their value well, I think.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

I like the new corporate logo it looks like the Delorean DMC one.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I think that I may have come to the same conclusion myself in the video, sir.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

​@lloydvehicleconsulting The quality is really improving. I can see them catching up with Škoda in the next few years.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

@@paulie-Gualtieri. , yes, the two current generation Dacias Mr Bill and I have tested over the last couple of years have been exceptionally good.

[@lewlewis6511]

Jogger is probably the only new car we'd consider, be interesting to see how reliable the hybrid drive proves long term. I know looks are subjective but compared to the awful cloned things so many makers churn out these days i find the Jogger a refreshingly decent looking car.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, the reliability of the Hybrid models is a bit of an unknown at the moment. That is why Mr Bill is probably just going for the normal 1.0 Turbo model if he decides to get one. I am not sure that would be my favourite colour, but I do agree with you that it looks a bit different and it is decent looking car.

[@BS-ql5nl]

I would consider hybrid version as to 1ltr 3 cylinder because it won't screem the engine not being turbocharger and driving around town in electric and automatic would be more relaxed. Don't really know how far the 1.2Kw battery goes before recharging it's self nobody has really explained this in reviews.

[@hman72y]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting For the reliability, just look at the renault clio e-tech. It's basically the same platform ;)

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

@@hman72y , as was the Renault Captur I drove back in January.

[@user-cu6eq9rh4l]

Hi Joseph , Do you like the pop out side windows ?

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I like them better than no side windows at the back, that's for sure!

[@Narinjas]

​@@lloydvehicleconsulting I love them because they are basically exhaust ports, and you can get better flow for the passive Air vents air circulation (without using AC compressor or fans), and in special because they are not as noisy as back windows open at "high speed" (past 60km/h), that creates a pressure oscillator drum like effect.

[@user-cu6eq9rh4l]

Hello Joseph , with the high cost of new cars now people are staring to buy these cars that would normally buy more expensive vehicles .

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, Dacia's aren't as cheap as they used to be, but they are much better cars than before.

[@petergibson2318]

It is certainly descended from the Logan MPV . The Logan is a great car and I intend to replace mine with a Jogger soon. The low safety rating for the Jogger was mainly about safety features for passengers in the rear-most seats. Unless you regularly pack the car with 7 passengers this shouldn't be a worry.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, I don't consider the low safety rating to be anything to worry about. These are surprisingly good cars, I don't think that anything else brand new really gets close for the money. Thank you ever so much indeed for watching and commenting!

[@ukman9797]

Its a clio/Capture. Dash, steering wheel, stalks, keycard, start button, head restraints, climate control etc all from the clio/capture. Removalable rear seats same as the Espace. But good for the money.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, I have a review of the current Captur linked in the description below, and I recognised certain controls from the Arkana we filmed on the channel in 2021.

[@ammej768]

Id like to get it on my drive. I paid my deposit way back in January!!! How come i see all these Joggers being reviewed but no sign of mine from my dealer!!!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Well, I think that we just happened to be in the right place at the right time, I think, it almost happened by accident. Not sure what has become of your car, that sounds most frustrating...

[@ammej768]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting so are you saying you have one for sale 🤔?

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

@@ammej768, this was just a dealership demonstrator which they kindly allowed us to film. I think that I did explain that in the video.

[@ammej768]

@lloydvehicleconsulting I knew that. I bought Sandero in 2021 . It was a demonstrator with 1600 miles on the clock I would do the same again with the Jogger hybrid, but it's obviously too early for that. I can not see the point in promoting sales on a nonexistent product.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I think that you are probably asking the wrong person if you want an insight into Dacia's logistics and marketing operation, I am afraid.

[@sydmichel]

Sunroof? you can always get a 3rd party specialist company to install one.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I mean, it's possible, but it would probably invalidate the warranty, so perhaps best to do it when the car is over three years old.

[@roygardiner2229]

It is certainly a handsome car. However, the under bonnet complexity would dissuade me from buying it. As I understand it there is a lot to go wrong with such hybrids.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, this is why I think Mr Bill and I prefer the cheaper 1.0 version! Thank you for watching, sir!

[@atlasrock7808]

Only goes half a mile on the hybrid before main engine kicks in ?😅

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Don't buy it, then...

[@atlasrock7808]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting I am going to the garage this week to ask this question see what they say on this because the car should do more than half a mile. I was going to get one till I saw your review.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

We are into impartial reviews on this channel.

[@atlasrock7808]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting I can confirm that the vehicle will do over 2 miles on the battery 🔋 😀 plus I expected more than half a mile like you you said. I went into showroom today come out owning one . Comes in next few months 24 plate

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Did you enjoy the new Jogger, sir?

[@richardhowlett9424]

Excellent family transport , way too many annoying features , as with all current cars .

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I think legislation has a big part to play in all these features, sir! Thank you for watching.
