The Dacia Jogger is a compact multi-purpose vehicle developed by French automaker Renault and its Romanian branch Dacia. Introduced in 2021, it takes over the role previously held by the Logan MCV, Lodgy, and Dokker within the compact MPV category. Built upon the third-generation Logan platform, the Jogger is offered in configurations accommodating either five or seven passengers.
Officially revealed on 3 September 2021 and showcased at the Munich Motor Show on 6 September 2021, the Jogger blends design traits from both estates and SUVs, catering to families looking for roomy yet budget-friendly vehicles.
Production is primarily based in Mioveni, Romania, with manufacturing extended to Tangier, Morocco as of July 2024 to address increasing demand for both hybrid and conventional engine versions. The vehicle utilizes the Renault–Nissan CMF-B LS architecture, sharing many parts with the Dacia Logan III and Sandero III.
Available engines encompass turbocharged petrol units (1.0 L TCe 100 and TCe 110), a 1.0 L LPG ECO-G 100, a 1.6 L hybrid variant (Hybrid 140), and a 1.5 L Blue dCi diesel engine offered in North African markets. Transmission options include a six-speed manual gearbox or a multi-mode automatic with a 4+2-speed configuration specifically for the hybrid model.
With its competitive pricing and flexible seating arrangements, the Jogger stands out as an appealing choice in both emerging markets and Europe, strengthening Dacia’s commitment to providing cost-effective vehicles equipped with contemporary features.
Overview
Although targeted at the MPV segment, the Jogger shares its underlying platform and numerous components—including dashboard design and front-end elements—with the third-generation Sandero and Logan. It essentially functions as a long-wheelbase wagon derivative of these models, reminiscent of the earlier Logan MCV.
Despite incorporating some crossover styling cues, it is not marketed as an SUV.
2022 refresh
In June 2022, less than a year following its debut, the Jogger underwent a subtle facelift that introduced Dacia’s updated logo across all variants. The front grille was redesigned to accommodate the new badge, trim levels were modified, and a new exterior paint option named Lichen Kaki was added.
Additionally, the Jogger debuted its hybrid powertrain called the Hybrid 140, which produces , utilizing the full-hybrid 1.6 TCe 140 12V petrol engine found in Renault models such as the Renault Clio, Captur, and Arkana. This hybrid system combines a multi-mode automatic electric transmission featuring a four-speed gearbox linked to the combustion engine alongside a two-speed gearbox dedicated to the electric motor.
The hybrid version was first presented at the 2022 Paris Motor Show, with orders commencing in January 2023 and deliveries beginning in March.
In March 2023, Dacia launched an optional Sleep Pack accessory for the Jogger that transforms it into a camper vehicle. This factory-installed kit was revealed at the Brussels Motor Show alongside the Extreme flagship trim available for the Spring, Sandero Stepway, Jogger, and Duster models.
Euro NCAP
In 2021, the Jogger was awarded a 1-star safety rating by Euro NCAP for its standard version sold in the European market, with the evaluation results derived from the Sandero Stepway model.
