The 2022 Dacia Jogger was crowned the AA Irish car of the year award last October. The 7 seater took the Irish market by storm offering families the opportunity to buy a brand new 7 seater for under €30,000.
The Jogger nearly ticked every box when it came to the Irish market, in fact the only flaw was that it was only available with a small petrol engine and a manual gearbox. The good news is, Dacia have answered our callings and brought a Hybrid to market for 2023.
We were lucky enough to be invited to the launch in Portugal and after just 2 minutes behind the wheel it was evident that the 1.6 litre engine combined with the two electric motors was the perfect powertrain for the car. Now with more power and an automatic gearbox, the car feels a lot more agile and put together on the open road.
The only substantial difference between the regular Jogger and the hybrid version is that there's no spare wheel as that is now where the 1.2kWh battery is kept.
We hope you enjoy our review, and thank you for watching.
