[@ravenouself4181]

Conclusion: EuroNCAP should separate it's safety ratings into two: one for the actual safety and the other for the electronic gibberish.

[@peted7295]

I totally agree. Not keeping a cars actual performance in a crash separate has really muddied the waters, as you suggest another 5 star scale for active electronic avoidance systems would be much clearer.

[@trackingcalin1988]

It is 200 kilograms lighter because of not having that safety systems. For me, this means better chances to avoid an accident and the missing stars in my hands.

[@davesmith60]

In your opinion. But why would you buy a car with one star safety rating instead of one that's better designed? To save a few quid? Brand loyalty? Pointless. Buy a car with a good safety rating. Dont be a wally.

[@julianevans9548]

@@davesmith60 The electronic systems don't make you safer - unless you're driving badly. Don't drive badly. Also, 'lane assist' steers you into oncoming traffic if you move left to avoid, say, a big lorry, and cross the white line at the side of the road. Safe.

[@crocopeet1900]

Been driving the MCV for the past 15 years and am very satisfied. Bought the Jogger but still waiting for its arrival. The test drive made it an easy choice. Compared to the second hand market this still comes on top for me, both in quality and price. Sure, there are better looking cars, but in the end it needs to take me from a to b and that it will do that just fine I'm sure as it is far better than its predecessor and that one has served me very well!

[@waynekerrgoodstyle]

I hope you don't mind me asking, but did you get your Jogger and if so what do you like & dislike about it?

[@crocopeet1900]

@@waynekerrgoodstyle I don't mind at all. In fact I gladly do so. There is not much to dislike to be honest. Perhaps it is because I went all out and got the 5 seat extreme with everything on it but compared to my old MCV this feels like such a leap in luxury, quality and comfort, it is just ridiculous. The best thing to me, and I'm sure it'll come across as silly to most, is walking towards the car, opening the door (because of the automatic unlock) sitting down, strapping in, press start and just drive off. No searching for the key or fiddling to get the damn thing in the slot to start the car. This wouldn't be a fair reply if I wouldn't at least try to mention at least one thing I dislike and can think of only two minor things and one that just took some getting used to. Compared to all the rest the loop of 'yarn' to pull the seats down in the back just feels cheap. Gladly would have traded the folding tables in the back for a proper lever. The other thing is the rest you can put the seatbelt clip in to tuck it away nicely so. I think it is wonderful but everyone that I have transported so far seems unable to get it out without a lot of effort XD. And the one thing I had to get used to was the automatic handbrake. All in all I'd prefer a button that would just turn it off/on but it works fine as it is too once you do get used to it. Hope it helps!

Got to admit Dacia at the moment keeping to value for money.

[@kieranokeeffe1363]

I’ve had my Jogger nearly a month, it’s been great, I’m getting 51-52 mpg (with little additional weight) The carpet is poorly fitted in places with staples showing .. still waiting for the dealer (SMC WEYBRIDGE) to get back to me on the fix, I am generally used to higher spec cars but it’s amazing value for money compared to the offerings out there lately When I ordered my extreme se there were no additional options , you can now get steps, seat covers, tow bars, roof boxes and even industrial kit to turn it into a van

[@unQcioxy]

The gear box and the engine are optimized very well. I drive one with the bifuel option (EXPRESSION 1l, petrol and LPG), 170 km/day, 6 days a week, with 6 people on board (including me) and some tools. Considering that al of us are around 90kg plus tools, total weight is around 600 - 650kg, average consumption loaded on LPG is 10 - 12l/100km, at a speed of 100-110 km/h. It takes some time to get used to slow and noisy start at 4500 - 5000 rpm, but no engine problems at over 15.000 km or 9.320 miles. In my opinion, maintenance is the engines life, no economy at oil and fuel quality. Over all, i like the car and the price is good to, I pay 250 euro/month for the car and at this price no comment, there are no other options.

[@kris856]

I honestly don't get how you managed to drive it for 150.000 km driving 1000km a week - it's 3 years of driving, and Jogger has been around only since April 2022

[@unQcioxy]

@@kris856 Sorry my mistake, you`re right, I edited the comment. Somehow I added '0' at the end of each number. Received the car in may this year.

[@woooooooo9061]

Is this car easy enough to get into? I’m 6”4 with bad knees, the duster is perfect, but is this one much lower to the ground?

[@ridehead8771]

The only thing I disagree about this review is about the engine. You don't need to rev it very hard to get it going, in fact in pulls rather nice once you get past 2k rpm, far from being anemic in fact, and also at 70mph the rpm sits low around 2.3 rpm so it's almost turbo diesel like. Don't underestimate the 1 litre turbo petrol because it's not as slow as you might think it is.

[@Clistes]

With the NCAP test, well they didn't even crash the Jogger, they assumed the test result based on sandero! Plus, as you mentioned it's not for the actual safety, its for the lack of the electronic features, and now days overall rate is equal to the lowest score car gets while testing it's components, so it got 1 star, while front crash test of sandero was actually like 3 stars.

[@bigdte]

I've had mine for over a month now. It's my first ever Dacia and I bought it to transport a couple of big dogs around. I'm used to premium and performance cars, but estate boots seem to be shrinking and I'm not interested in a massive SUV (the footprint of this is smaller than my previous Seat Leon Cupra estate) so I thought this would be cheap enough to allow me a more fun second car in the future.... I'm extremely happy with it and the mid/high 40s MPG I'm achieving. The engine is way better than you'd think - even better than I thought it would be! Though it can struggle to maintain cruise control speeds when going up or down hills. I had issues with the dealership experience (Wilsons in Epsom) and not being supplied with the correct items the car is supposed to come with. However, Dacia's customer support online were fantastic and managed to get it all sorted for me eventually. Luckily I'm about to move to a different part of the country where I can use a completely different dealer for servicing, etc.

[@GarryMcGovern]

Excellent real life experience there, cheers for that!

[@leftywalrus180]

I’ve had an issue with my previous car at Wilson’s, believe it or not, but they didn’t supply an Ariel with my car.

[@mitchreeves1]

I've always spent around £30k on cars but £30k doesn't get you that much nowadays. So I test drove a Jogger when it was launched back in March. I was so sceptical about it, especially only having a 1litre engine. But boy does that engine pull! Feels just as powerful as my Toyota 1.8 hybrid. I was so impressed with it that i ordered one! And I'm genuinely excited to get it, should get mine in October with a bit of luck. I feel like I'm on to a winner being nearly half the price I usually spend. I plan on swapping it over after 2 years for the hybrid version ;)

[@bigdte]

@@leftywalrus180 Their attention to the little details left a lot to be desired. They might some like minor stuff, but it all matters to the customer. Will def not use them again!

[@daelrine]

While it's primarly advertised as 7-seater the 5-seater version is as impressive, especially for families with dogs/cats. The boot can fit IATA size 6 dog travel crate; all kind of kid bikes or an electric kid car. It's a perfect car for short outdoor/family trips, but not that good for long highway trips (wind noise). I was also surprised by how good the engine is although it takes time to get used to it. It feels a little bit 'oldschool'.

[@bm8641]

I've driven one recently, on the Continent. I've booked an economy but the rental guys gave me a Jogger. Fine. Feels like a van, drives like a hatchback. A long hatchback that is. It is a really good car for the money. I'm not in the camping craze but this car is a winner if getting out on country roads. The clearance to the ground is , I believe, bigger than a regular car and could be used at a farm IMHO given the barn size volume in the back

[@petedig5809]

Concise, informative, to the point. Excellent review.

[@no-damn-alias]

I ordered one on 1st December when Dacia started allowing orders and got it pretty early for the initial price. Like it a lot but you can feel that there's a little more price cutting then in previous Dacia models. Still adjusted for inflation (to 1st December 2021) it's still cheaper than the Lodgy with LPG was in 2014 or even the Logan MCV in 2007 and has more options. I like it although a little more power would be nice in the Alps but other than that it's great! Little consumption Rather quiet. Hope it'll make as little problems as the 2007 MCV . 220Tkm and still no oil consumption at all and only rust as early models had problems with that.

[@johnDukemaster]

Well done! And that test shows that it's quite silly to give this car 1 star only due to the facts you mentioned. Not easy for us customers to know. So good of you!

[@davidthomson2013]

Can’t wait to get my Jogger in September on PCP. Looks good, excellent economy and will take the whole family with some room to spare, and in relative comfort. Dacia has done an amazing job! I hope the badge snobs continue to turn their noses up at it, and fritter away their money on over-priced alternatives with gimmicky extras that will soon lose their appeal. This is all the car I need. I can save the money I would have spent on a Kodiaq/Galaxy and pay off some of the mortgage! What’s not to like!?

I got out of the company car trap and bought a Duster 130 nearly two years ago - absolutely amazing car for the money. Driven it from the UK to Spain and now to Croatia , 50mpg so around 600 mile range ! Comfortable,reliable so far and carries masses ! It was a limited edition so came with almost everything the top model has but was just over £16k with 3 years warranty and servicing - I have friends with large capacity scooters that cost £12k - make the Duster look even more of a bargain .I would consider the Jogger but will wait for the new Bigster as that looks a real winner.

[@siraff4461]

Stick a 1.5dci in it and I'll order one. I've used that 1.0 enough to know its nowhere near enough engine for that car with a full load in it and since thats how I usually use my 7 seater it needs more grunt. I've also noticed that the 1.0 is average on fuel until you ask it to make power - at which point it seems to develop a thirst like the Bentley you mentioned.

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

For me, the price, size and options are perfect. I am old now, I do not need speed lol. The fact you can take the two seats out of the back for a larger boot, then even fold the other 3 back seats down for a huge van like back space is excellent. The only thing I do not understand is who designed that middle seat belt for the back seat coming from the roof in the middle behind the back seats, right in the centre of the seat that is behind them at the back from the two there, it is just odd but I still think ill be buying a brand new one, just deciding the model. I like the fact you can buy a jogger camnping kit that fits in the back and has everything from sleeping stuff to tables that store, its very cool. Ill probably buy a brand new one next week, once I am set on one but for now, still checking them out and as much info as I can, nice car though for the price for sure!

[@pstanyer1]

Picked mine up in may at the old price. Delighted with it. Only criticism I have is if you put two isofix seats in the back you can't get in the rear 2 seats. So you have to put a none isofix seat in the rear or middle of the back.

[@siraff4461]

If you're only using 6 seats you could leave on out of the rear and use the boot for access. Not the most elegant way but if its just a child jumping in they would probably love it.

A lot of comments by people criticising the engine. All I would say is do not knock it until you try it... It really took me by surprise. Small turbo charged engines have come a long way - even the latest Fiesta ST is a three-pot!!!

2 door and 2 1/2 people Fiesta? Why compare a small car with a 7 setter?

[@bigdte]

@@stoicapetruliviu8840 I wasn’t comparing cars, I was highlighting just what can be done with a small 3 cylinder turbo engine - i.e. the performance of the Fiesta ST’s engine, not mention the Yaris GR!! But even I was comparing a Jogger with a Fiesta, both cars weigh circa 1200kg 😉 Obviously I know it’s not a performance engine in the Jogger. I may have to stir the gearbox but it never feels under-powered to me and is pretty punchy. I’m also really happy with mpg I’m getting!

@@stoicapetruliviu8840 Fair point. But not relevant for me as seats 6 and 7 have been removed (which is very easy to) and stashed away in the loft never to be used LOL! I’m then left with a very light 5 seater estate with a van like boot big enough for my dogs. I don’t have any kids either! It’s going to be fully loaded - including a roof box - in a couple of days when I move house so it will be interesting to see how it copes then with the heaviest load it will probably ever have, but I have a feeling it’ll be fine.

[@christophe9602]

I was sold on the practicality of this, until I saw the engine. There's engines that just lack a bit of guts, and that's fine for the price point, but then there's just absurdly underpowered for a car you're supposed to be able to load 7 people in. I've owned a Sandero, a lighter car with basically the same engine, and that thing can struggle uphill with me, my wife and two kids in the back. I can't even start to imagine you'd haul 7 people up a hill with that engine. I don't want to knock it too hard, because it was my first car and always served me well, but I can hardly say it was fun to drive in those instances. Also wrecked the fuel economy. If you live anywhere hilly, you may want to think twice about the fuel economy and performance you're expecting.

[@Colin623]

Probably wait for the hybrid version next year, I believe it's going to have a 1.5 petrol engine plus the battery boost, so should give much better performance !

[@christophe9602]

@@Colin623 It boggles the mind why they didn't put a 1.5, or at least a 1.3, in in the first place. You'd probably still get decent fuel economy (depending on where you drive, potentially better than a 1.0). They could have foregone the mild hybrid even. It's a marketing stunt/govt regulatory business in most estate cars with suitable power trains anyway (you're not nearly getting the benefit in fuel economy of say an SUV).

Unfortunately I don't think this is available in Norway where I live as it would be perfect for my needs. Sadly importing isn't really much of an option as it's very expensive! I only have 2 kids but it won't be long until I might have to make football team runs and other trips with more kids in the car. I also would like to be able to sit my family of four plus either set of parents when they come to visit without needing to hire a car just for simple trips. Anyone who's been to Norway probably knows that we don't have "motorways" like the UK does, in addition to relatively lower speed limits, so any question of speed and long term drives is pretty irrelevant. As Norway has a high percentage of electric cars (largely because of government subsidies) an electric or a hybrid version would have been preferable for me as I think if one country really is going to slam traditional ICE drivers with petrol and diesel cars in the next few years it'll be Norway.

Hmm I just can’t get away from potential engine reliability after a few years. A tiny engine you have to work incredibly hard to haul along a huge car, it just doesn’t sit well with me as a second hand purchase.

[@Brian-om2hh]

It seems to be something of a trend these days to go for 3 cylinders plus a turbo. I owned a 1.0 litre Ford Focus Ecoboost for 4 years a while back. Like you, I hesitated when the dealer offered me the keys to test drive it. By the time I'd done 5 miles in it I was sold. It pulled like a 1.6 litre of 15 years ago. Ample torque for the 6 gears. Long term reliability isn't likely to be an issue if you keep the car for no more than 5 or 6 years. Usually, by the time the average runabout reaches that age, they're less likely to be used for 80mph motorway runs, and more likely to do shorter shopping trips etc..... I'd suggest you test drive one. It'll cost you nothing, and you'll be wiser for doing it......

[@draigaur9543]

Slow? That's giving it too much credit. I love this car for all it's practicality and usefulness, but really, could they not give it a powertrain that could push it to 60mph around 7+ seconds without compromising just a few more MPGs? Still, the Jogger is a gem, but it needs a little bit more refinement and development to make perfect. Keep at it, Dacia, you are almost there! Genius on the edge of brilliance.

The car is way lighter then the average 7 seater. The engine is designed for the purpose. Long stroke 3 cylinder turbo. These Renault engines exist 3 years now and no significant problems are known. They are simple and rugged. In other words; modern engines designed with state of the art methods simply can be way better than engines designed in the past. The 3D thermal simulation show exactly the weak points allowing for improvements of the design. This was not possible 10-15 years ago ( not advanced as it is nowadays). Also materials and lubricants used are way better. With 3 years/100000 km warranty I am satisfied these engines will last forever actually. Untill proven otherwise.

1 Liter engine in this type of car, is not going to last. This thing at the very least needs a 1.5 diesel. or 2 liter petrol.

[@daviddegea920]

I agree that 1L engine falls short for this car; but I own a Dacia Lodgy with the 1.3L 130HP petrol and believe me it's more than enough.

Too underpowered. Perhaps dangerously sluggish acceleration at motorway speeds fully loaded with the A/C on. You will NEVER get anywhere near the claimed fuel economy but you will have to work the engine mercilessly just to keep up with traffic.

[@ai-d2121]

Not true. Remarkably the engine revs at 3000 rpm at 125 km/h /77 mph and is not sluggish at all. I also drive a 200 mph BMW 535i and can tell you that if you manage your revs you will NOT be slow at all.

It is hard to see where things will be in 4-5 years. I'm surprised anyone is buying any new cars right now. Between diesel petrol hybrid and electric. Its a real gamble at the moment. Especially with the electric prices going up all the time.

I don't think its safe. Is 5 star safety not the most important thing? How can these reviews not discuss safety. Wouldn't put my kids in this tin box on wheels

[@bigdte]

Huh? This review did discuss safety and gave a lot of context regarding the 1 star rating. It's got airbags and crumple zones just like a 5 star car would have got a few years ago. Euro NCAP now marks cars down for not having 'intelligent' systems, which is mostly why the Jogger just gets 1 star.

This is a motorized coffin for families. A similar Renault Lodgy (Dacia Lodgy in many other countries) has the worst safety track record of any four wheeler in India. Highest number of deaths occurred to passengers in a Lodgy than any other car. But Renault PR seem to be spending big on YT shills for Jogger these days.

I was a little worried about the tiny engine myself when buying my new 1.0 bifuel Duster 3 months ago. I simply use it to drive from a to b. I own a power car but I seem to like the Duster ( with current fuel prices) more. Apart from that, it drives satisfying. It reminds me of cars 20-30 years ago. You really need to DRIVE them. Use the gearbox etc. However; due to the turbo it is not really needed to shift up and down all the time. Above 2000 rpm it basically accelerates in any gear from any speed. The engine really is designed for low revs ( longer stroke then bore), 3000 rpm at 125 kph. My Logan MCV with a 1.4 litre engine did 4000 rpm at the same speed and was loud!! I never drive the car in 6th gear below 100 kph. I feel it needs the revs for keeping the engine happy but maybe it is imagination .
