…although there is a carbon roofed BMW M lump coming next week. I like that one too. 😂🙌

@@vanaramauk 😀👍👏👏👏

Yeah, thought the same - after removing 3rd row and folding 2nd - you get enormous boot to play with. Err.. right.

What trim and lead time did Dacia give you? I looked at the comfort in the showroom and the boot seats are comfortable for me. I might hold out for the 2023 bi fuel as 72.7p a litre for lpg at my local Morrisons makes allot of sense.

@@rob12841 they releasing the LPG version in UK??

@@lsco4480 Apparently not. It will be Petrol and (next year) Hybrid only for the UK

@@rob12841 Initially they told me 8-12wks on the Extreme SE which I've ordered, but that was 6wks ago and am still waiting for an update. In some ways I wish I'd held out for the Hybrid, but no one can say exactly when next year it will be available, and I can't wait a potential 12-18 months

@@TheSpudlyMcgudly cheers for reply Tim, I'm in similar position contemplating comfort spec or holding out for hybrid next year

Truedat, but i don’t think many people will bother removing them, especially if they haven’t got a garage or somewhere else to stick the seats. 🤷🏻‍♂️👊🏻

Hey! Thanks so much for saying so. Really appreciate it. Hope you like the rest of the stuff. 🤘🏻👊🏻

Hey mate, well well well, I’ve learned something. Thanks 👊🏻🤘🏻

It's gets to be expensive because peoples want better quality, comfort etc. You can't have all this on a low price.

Do yourself a favor just like i will do and wait a bit for next gen Dacia Duster or the bigger Bigster first proper 7 seat SUV from Dacia which will come from next year .. Both will be build on a brand new platform CMF-B developed by alliance of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi it will have new features hybrid & latter full electric propulsion ..

@@poplaurentiu4148 . I’m aware, but I don’t need the size of the Bigster, although the new Duster would work. I know that there’s a 1.8 Atkinson cycle hybrid engine coming too, based on the block of the Jogger. It depends on the time frame, my current car is five years old and has been faultless, so I have no pressing need to replace it. The jogger is built on a new platform too of course, which is partly why it’s such a good car. I’m pondering all of this so I’m in no particular hurry.

@@richardsmith579 Today Jogger is built on an platform similar with Sandero but recently test of NCPA & NCAP crush tests did not give Jogger more than *1 star from total of *5 because they have far less protection systems in Jogger than Logan, Sandero or Duster which have *2 (Sandero and Logan) & *3 (Duster).. The new safety rules that will enter by the end of this year will be applied for all brand new cars including the new Duster & Biggster and require all new cars to have all those systems on-board before will be allowed to be approved in tests & inspections for hommologations.. So, in theory drivers & passengers will be much safer for basically same affordable purchasing prices..

Dacia/Renault have also 1.3 litter motor with 150 cp....but they are not using it in all Dacia models, because it will compete with Renault models.... I am waiting for 2023 hybrid version with 140 cp and automatic gearbox

Yes I thought all through the review that with 7 people in it, it would start to struggle. It needs a more powerful engine.

What difference does the depreciation make when the vehicle itself is so much less expensive? All vehicles depreciate and l would rather lose 50% on a £15k vehicle than a £25k one.

The hybrid could be worse if you floor it everywhere.

Thats inflation for you

£20k now was only the equivalent of £7k in 1989

Weak chances for an EV, but there will be a hybrid in 2-3 years.

Mental note: no more in-gear acceleration tests for me. That’s one less job to do. Phew!

You must be getting old Mark! Maybe get an automatic, swap the baseball cap for a flat cap and get some comfy slippers! 🤣

No worries mate. 🤝

Was good when skoda actually made cars people could afford. Now there just low spec vw's that cost basically the same spec for spec.

It's more practical than any SUV, does everything an estate does and fits 7 for 15k. It's unbeatable. I'd buy one and chuck the rear seats. Makes a great minivan then.

I can see both your arguments. If you like a new car with a full warranty and plan on keeping it for say 4 years,it's an unbeatable deal. However £17'000 will buy a 2016 nissan X trail, Volkswagen touran ,ford Smax all with around 55'000miles.

We occasionally need a car that carries at least 6 people and as a second car have had several 7 seaters all from new, to list them: an 08 Grand Picasso, a 2011 Grand Scenic, a 2014 Grand Picasso and a 2017 Seat Alhambra, The Jogger is a better 7 seater than any of the above, in particular it has easier access and more room in the 3rd row than any of the above. As an estate car it is up there with a Skoda Superb or E class, and as an SUV it is likely more usable than a 2 wheel drive Evoque as it has more ground clearance. It is a bargain and we have just ordered a Jogger Extreme.

@@watannen that was a great car. Genuinely practical. Barn doors were a great idea. No pretense about style

In fairness it’s a bit more complex than that. Euro NCAP gives an overall score that can’t be higher than the car’s lowest score in any one of the four categories. Dacia doesn’t fit a variety of modern active safety systems (like lane keep assist) because it keeps costs down, but actually the Jogger’s occupant safety scores are 4-star for adults and 3 for children. Not brilliant but not terrible either. It also didn’t actually test a Jogger, it tested a Sandero and transposed the scores. Not ideal. It’s more a PR disaster than a safety one really. Mark. 🙂

@@vanaramauk of course, the detail matters, and It could be a buyer is prepared to compromise on safety in all areas for the price if buying outright is the aim. However, if leasing, a higher quality, more refined, NCAP ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Quashqai with better tech and safety scores across the board and a Dacia Jogger cost basically the same per month from Vanarama! Unless I desperately needed a seven seat option, A home run for the Nissan for me.

Is it though? Have you even looked beyond the headline figure? It's child and adult occupancy rating is roughly on a par with the Vauxhall/Opal Mokka, and better than the Ford C-Max, and no one's calling them deathtraps. The low score is mainly to to the lack of seat belt warnings for the removable rear most seats and driver assistance, not because it's any worse in an actual crash. NCAP puts too much emphasis on technology, rather than how easy it is to drive a car safely. Chances are, if your car is more than 3/4 years old it would score even worse than this if retested today, such is technology. Your car hasn't suddenly got worse overnight though.
