Dacia Jogger Hybrid

The model becomes the brand’s first ever Hybrid Electric Vehicle and is set to build on Jogger’s success story, having already received more than 83,000 orders worldwide, with 51,000 registrations, in under a year.

Utilising an advanced petrol/electric drivetrain, the new Jogger HYBRID 140 starts from just £22,595 on-the-road, making it the best value seven-seat hybrid available. Orders are now open with customer deliveries expected to commence in the second quarter of the year.

What’s more, Jogger HYBRID 140 Expression is available for a monthly cost of £267, with a customer deposit of £2,812.

The Jogger HYBRID 140 features a normally aspirated 90hp 1.6-litre petrol engine, twin electric motors (50hp engine and a high voltage starter/generator) and a multi-mode automatic transmission, combined with a 1.2kWh (230V) battery.

These components work together to deliver full electric start and instantaneous torque, smooth electric-only driving, plus a choice of driving modes to suit different conditions. The drivetrain produces a usable 140hp enabling 0-62mph in 10.1 seconds, yet CO2 emissions only reach up to 112g/km, returning up to 56.5 mpg (WLTP combined).

Regenerative braking, combined with the high energy recovery of the 1.2 kWh (230V) battery allow the Jogger HYBRID 140 to spend up to 80 per cent of its time on urban roads in full-electric mode, thereby saving up to 40 per cent on fuel compared to an equivalent petrol-only model. Better still, this technology ensures customers can enjoy significant savings without altering the way they drive as there’s no requirement to plug it in to charge.

The ‘B’ (Brake) mode in the fully automatic, clutchless gearbox, amplifies the regenerative braking and increases engine braking. This mode optimises energy recovery and driving comfort in urban areas.

The Jogger HYBRID 140 is available in two trims – Expression and Extreme SE – both of which can be specified with the new exclusive Shadow Grey metallic paint. Expression includes front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, blind spot warning, keyless entry, heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors, automatic wipers and automatic air conditioning as standard. Its infotainment system is based around an eight-inch media display, with DAB radio, Bluetooth, four speakers, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The range-topping Extreme SE version adds 16-inch black alloy wheels, sliding tray tables, heated front seats, and the eight-inch MediaNav infotainment system with integrated navigation.

Lionel Jaillet, Dacia VP Product Performance said: “Less than a year after the launch of the Jogger, we are taking a new step by presenting another version of the model with a HYBRID 140 engine. It’s a clutchless hybrid, offering an all-electric start and reduction in fuel consumption.”
