“Dacia’s first hybrid model is a resounding success. The Jogger Hybrid 140 offers enough performance – the electric motor helping here – with superb real-world efficiency potential that doesn’t come at the expense of practicality.”

“It’s no surprise that the Dacia Jogger is be great value for money, but consider the staggering versatility it offers for such a low price and no other new car even comes close. Whether you choose to use it as a full seven-seater, or ditch the back seats to turn it into a huge estate car, it does a brilliant job of filling either role.”

“Dacia’s first seven-seat, large family car is unbelievably good value for money. If you’re after luxury and creature comforts then go elsewhere but if budget and space are your priorities the Jogger is the car you’ve been waiting for.” (Erin Baker)

“Hybrid or not, the Dacia Jogger still has its compromises, but with its claimed 56.5mpg and 112g/km emissions added to its assets, there remains nothing to really touch it for those who sometimes need seven-seat practicality.” (Martyn Collins)

“The Dacia Jogger is so honest that it’s almost impossible to dislike. Props to the budget brand for making something that ticks so many boxes – it’s spacious, comfortable, clever and amazing value for money.”

“It feels as though Dacia is well and truly into its rhythm. Cars like the Jogger show that you needn’t pay over the odds for practicality and for families who want a reliable but well-made car, this Dacia will no doubt hit the nail on the head. There are some drawbacks such as lower-quality materials and a slightly thrummy engine, but when you put this alongside the Jogger’s impressively low starting price, it’s very hard to argue with.”

“Besides a premium badge, the Dacia Jogger offers nearly everything – for less than a new supermini.” (John McIlroy)

“If you need a car that’s capable of carrying seven people in comfort for very little money, I really can’t think of a better car than the Dacia Jogger.” (Mat Watson)

“We like the Dacia Jogger. It’s a refreshingly affordable new car that goes against the fad for premium-badged SUVs. It’s impossible to overemphasise how remarkably good value it is – it’s a seven-seat estate car for the price of a pretty basic Ford Fiesta.”

“There’s hardly a more affordable way to transport your family. It’s not the bargain basement special you might think, either – it’s comfortable, well-equipped and easy to drive.”

“The Dacia Jogger is a fabulously honest, practical and useful car. It’s incredibly spacious for its size – you simply can’t get seven adult-sized seats in a comparable package, anywhere. It’s a shame the rear seats aren’t more flexible, and question marks remain over the safety score, too. A one-star rating from Euro NCAP will turn many buyers off the Jogger.”

“If you have a tight budget and are desperate for a new car, then the Dacia Jogger could be the perfect solution. But it’s not without its faults and it may be worth looking at a comparison with a two- or three-year-old model that drives better and has a lot more safety kit to protect your loved ones.”

“The Jogger sticker price is £14,995. The next-cheapest seven-seater I can think of is a Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer at £29k. Almost twice the price. The Volkswagen Touran is £30k.”

“With the addition of this hybrid option, the Dacia Jogger becomes even more appealing as a do-anything family car. It is one of the few true seven-seaters that isn’t in the form of a van-derived MPV and may have distinctive enough styling to appeal to those who think SUVs are essential.”

“The Dacia brand stands for no-frills practicality and comfort, and that’s exactly what the Jogger provides. It’s miles cheaper than anything else of this size, and it’s roomier and more practical than any of the increasingly few cars that can compete on price. Of course, other cars will be more desirable, despite Dacia’s best efforts to make the Jogger look interesting, but there’s more to the Dacia’s anti-fashion appeal than just value.”

“If its safety rating was up to scratch, the Dacia Jogger would be a five-star car – and you’d probably see me heading out to my nearest Dacia dealer tomorrow. As it is, that crash score would give me pause. Because cutting costs on plastics quality and equipment is fair game, but there’s something unseemly about doing so where safety is concerned.” (Alex Robbins)

“There’s a lot to like about the Jogger; it has seven seats, it’s not bad to drive and it’s damn cheap, but then I think of that famous Volvo advert with the copy line: If Volvo thought life was cheap, they’d have built a cheaper car.”
