The new Dacia Jogger Hybrid will be the value brand’s first-ever hybrid and ordering is now open with prices starting from £22,595.
Called the Dacia Jogger Hybrid 140, the new seven-seat model combines a petrol engine with two electric motors and a compact battery.
The 1.6-litre engine produces 90hp, while the two electric motors – a 50hp drive motor and high-voltage starter/generator – take power up to 140hp.
This gives 0-62mph acceleration in 10.1 seconds, aided by a standard automatic gearbox.
The new Dacia Jogger Hybrid’s 1.2kWh battery is a ‘self-charging’ type, so doesn’t need to be plugged in.
Even so, Dacia reckons it will spend up to 80 percent of the time when driving in cities in pure electric mode.
It also improves fuel economy by 40 percent, with an official average of 56.5mpg and CO2 emissions from 112g/km.
First UK deliveries of the new Dacia Jogger Hybrid 140 will begin in Q2 2023.
Dacia’s first hybrid
The new Dacia Jogger Hybrid is the firm’s first electrified model. It shares the hybrid tech with parent brand Renault – it’s the same system as used in the Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid.
Impressively, its compact nature means the Jogger retains its seven-seat capacity. There’s no reduction in load capacity or passenger space.
The only difference over regular Jogger is a 7.0-inch electronic instrument display – and, of course, the automatic gearbox.
