New Dacia Jogger review: ‘the best-value new car bar none!’

[@batahomar]

Whoever did the review they keep forgetting that this is a budget car 😑 and it is brilliant for the price

[@kieranokeeffe1363]

Just purchased and received my Jogger Extreme Se 5 days ago and it is unbelievable value, I am really pleased , great review Carbuyer I preordered , the additional options have come out now and the commercial one with liner and bulkhead looks like you have the ability to have a nice size van as well as a 7 seater mpv all in one …. I am going to get prices for the options tomorrow

[@AMAZONJUNGLEGUY]

Congratulations on your jogger se. How long ago did you place your order? I am still waiting for mine.

[@anthonystevens8683]

A great overview Sara, I have to agree it certainly looks and specs one of the best value family cars currently available. As you mention, it has what is says on the tin. I guess the only (probably small downside) would be resale value after a few years but my feeling would be that these cars are aimed at the private buyer who is likely to keep the car longer so would be less of an issue. After all you could spend twice the price on another car aimed at the similar market segment and loose less in real financial terms after a few years.

[@carbuyer]

Thanks Anthony. All valid points - spend less in the first place and you've less to loose...

[@jonathanharris9727]

Got one a couple of months ago, it is excellent, only complaint is the furry trim stuff in the boot and footwells, it's thin, exposed, looks stapled in places, and looks like it will look knackered quickly with the kids climbing in and out.

[@philpaxton2078]

Excellent review. The Euro NCap rating just shows that their assessments nowadays are largely pointless. I used to consider them to be very useful, but now they mainly take into account driver assistance rather safety, pretty pointless.

[@megapangolin1093]

Great review of a good, honest car. It is a family car, what percentage of the time is it going to be driven fast? Who can drive fast these days, anyway, if it drives at the speed limit then that is all the Aston can do? Much better, real review than CarWow or some other reviewers on here, clear, comprehensive review with no ludicrous personal comedy dominating the narration.

[@carbuyer]

Thanks for the kind words!

Fantastic car for the price.. Good honest review too..

[@carbuyer]

Thanks! 👍

[@94Di]

I dont really know why I came to watch, yet another video about Jogger, and I have to admit, when it get to the part of the "extrene" version, the expression "but that goes against the whole Dacia ego" was exactly on point and I never seen it as that before. That blue color and the white wheel caps are more pleasant to the eye indeed. It's a family car, there shouldn't be anything too sport-ish about it.

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

Can you please let me know the background music track used in the review. It's a great chill track.

[@andrewflint1735]

I own a jogger and the real shame about the car is the final fit a finish the gaps round the trim that sort of thing it's 90% brilliant but mine was under £15k

[@PanPuchacki]

I remember years ago, late 90s - early 2000s, Skoda used to be like that - honest, affordable and reliable car. Not anymore. Lets hope Dacia stays the way it is and i think it will become very successful. Looking at the range and practicality of the cars, it is already way better than Renault has to offer.

I was expecting a sports car with such a name.

[@davidthomson2013]

Yes. I agree. It’s lazy journalism.

[@b1tda3m0n]

Mentioning the one star ncap result is not fair without mentioning that the Jogger was not actually physically tested, but derived the results from the drawings and the sandero specs, which is, to say the least is questionable practice

[@davidshoebridge2788]

A great overview, but no mention of the odd seat belt arrangement coming from the roof of the car for the rear passengers... cutting across any passengers sitting in the rear x2 seats... not great at all

For a family car it's disgraceful that a spare wheel is an extra. A shame that legislation does not force manufacturers to supply a spare as standard, as they used to do. I've had more than my fair share of punctures over the years and I won't buy a car that doesn't have a spare

Even my Lodgy has 3 Isofix seat belt points and why not the choice to buy as a 5 seater like I had. Not sure why they can't do the 1.6 Petrol engine whilst waiting for the hybrid also. Nice to see you presenting Sara rather than trying to be a comedian, I'm just subscribing.

[@georgedowns4034]

This presenter is pretty good but could u not just find 2 presenters and stick with them? It would make more sense to have the same presenters otherwise u run into a bit of a brand identity issue sorta thing

[@carbuyer]

Appreciate the comment, George. What you have to remember is that the majority of our audience use these reviews to help them buy a new car, rather than watching everything we make. They'll maybe catch three, four or five of our videos before they make a purchase decision, so presenter continuity is less important. But ultimately, people move roles, progress and leave - just like any job. We hope you continue to enjoy our content, regardless of who presents our videos!

[@MarthaMansbridge]

ALL OTHER CARS: if they score less than 5* in eNCAP they get ripped to shreds in the media..... DACIA Jogger: gets 1* but 'don't worry about that, it's still a tough car'.....???????? For the same price as the top spec Jogger, you can get the top spec MG ZS, 7 year warranty, ALL of the safety tech, lane keeping, emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, 360 Camera.... You lose two seats that are probably unusable anyway (especially the way they sit in the boot). I just cannot see how a 1* eNCAP car can get the 'best value car' tag when you can get others for the same price with far more tech, safety and warranty cover??

[@grahamjohnson4702]

The 7 seats all accommodate adults, not just kids in the back row.

[@grahamjohnson4702]

@@MG-Loves-Crypto You are correct an only silly people can't see this, plus the fact that a few years ago before they altered the star rating system the Jogger would probably got a four star rating. What's the point of stars for something the majority don't require except for bragging rights. The points if they are going to give them should be detailoed in a report with th car like we give 1 point for child security and 1 point for rearview camera a 1 point for 7 airbags etc..

[@GinoFoto]

Typical words Dacia use to forgive their abysmal NCAP score with "our cars doesn't comes with expensive active safety sweets", true being told, those cars are pretty behind even in terms of passive safety,.

[@zappybazinga8124]

Dacia have a point though. You lose a star for example for not having a rear seatbelt sensor…now it’s a good safety feature but is it life saving? Probably not as if you have kids you belt them in if you have adults in there they should do it and frankly for a car costing well under half anything equivalent in the class I’d forgo it. I think there is a difference between the chassis being unsafe and electronic safety features being missing and indeed other manufacturers are asking ncap to re look at this.

[@rod-bits-and-pieces]

Thing is it wasn’t that it scored badly in occupant protection just low in certain areas due to no lane assist(dangerous in itself), no seat belt warning for 3rd row (so you can remove the seats without having wiring plugs to get caught up in), not the highest spec of active brakes (doesn’t pick up smaller objects but stops you running into another car so job done). Tbh it doesn’t have the stuff that you don’t really need or want if you want to be in charge of driving instead of the car. Badge snobs now form an orderly queue to say how much better and safer your BM and Merc is and how amazing your dash full of tablet screens is that will break costing thousands..😁

[@davidspencer7254]

Care to back that up, 2021+ regime only because back in the day of all those cars that you can now get second hand wouldn't score as well as the Jogger does on passive safety. Some, in fact, have run out and should be retested as the Zoe was and I'd expect similar drops from the heady heights of 5* to 0 or 1 stars overall due to the way stars are awarded: based on the lowest category.

[@MarthaMansbridge]

Agree - seems completely unacceptable for any other car brand to justify even having 4 or 3 starts but Dacia seems to get away with it? I actually don't disagree with them, not having a load of expensive tech doesn't make the car physically less safe but there has to be consistency in how this is portrayed in the Auto Media.

[@davidspencer7254]

It depends entirely how you end up at that rating. If you end up at 1* because your crash safety is poor in terms of occupant protection you deserve to be derided even if your active systems are 5*. Why? Because even the best active systems can't prevent a collision. Disagree? I challenge you to drive a tesla with a metal spike pointing at your forehead. The other way around is more acceptable. That's why the auto industry wants to separate these two things as they are not philosophically equivalent. That's why "Dacia gets away with it" because even the experts are uncomfortable with this false equivalence. Have a nice day.

[@I.K.channel]

2* EuroNCAP👎

[@andrewflint1735]
