DACIA JOGGER RESTYLED (2022): THIS FAMILY MODEL GETS A FACELIFT AND BENEFITS FROM A SLEEPING KIT

It's time for a facelift at Dacia. The manufacturer offers a new brand identity, including a new logo. It is therefore an opportunity to restyle all its models, including the Dacia Jogger. The family station wagon is available in a new version, still with five or seven seats depending on the needs of its buyers. Equipment, technical data sheet, restyling news, interior, price… We tell you everything about the 2022 version of the Dacia Jogger.

In 2022, Dacia renews its brand identity. Concretely, this involves the introduction of a new emblem, called Dacia Link, a new logo but also new colors for the bodywork. Like all its congeners, the Dacia Jogger therefore benefits from a restyling, even as the family station wagon began its career in 2021.

As these images taken by Autonews show, the Jogger evolves with this new grille featuring the Dacia Link logo and white patterns that are a continuation of the design of the headlights. Composed of a minimalist D and C, the brand's new logo is also present in the center of the rims. At the rear, sleek lettering recalls the names of the manufacturer and model.

 

A new color for the body of the Jogger

It should also be noted the appearance of a new body color - called Lichen Kaki - whose shades of green are intended to recall moss and earth. The roof bars are painted in Methalite Gray and are adorned with the vehicle's name. So much for the aesthetic developments applied to this Dacia Jogger.

Still offered in petrol and LPG

This small refresh of the style is not accompanied by developments in the range of engines. The five- or seven-seater family station wagon is offered with a 100-hp 1.0 Eco-G three-cylinder petrol-LPG engine, as well as the 110-hp 1.0 TCe three-cylinder petrol unit. The range is made up of the Essential and Expression finishes, but also of the special Extreme and Extreme + series. On the equipment side, the Jogger is, for example, equipped with automatic LED dipped beam headlights, the Media Control infotainment system, sliding shelves, parking assistance, a reversing camera, a blind spot, active emergency braking, hill start assistance or even cruise control.

What loading volume for the trunk of the Dacia Jogger ?

The loading volume of the trunk of this Dacia Jogger is set at 708 liters in the five-seater version, or even downright 1,819 liters when the rear bench seat is folded. In seven-seater version, this trunk is necessarily nibbled. Its cargo volume is 595 liters when the third row of seats is folded. If this is in place, the volume drops to just 160 litres. Fortunately, roof bars allow you to take advantage of additional storage space.

A new sleeping kit is coming in 2023

The Dacia Jogger will continue to evolve throughout its career. In 2023, the family break should inherit a sleeping kit, a sort of wooden box with a capacity of 220 liters that weighs less than 50 kilos. Its frame unfolds forward, and by adding two wooden crosspieces, you can place a box spring and foam to form a double bed. Once this sleeping kit is installed, there are 60 centimeters between it and the roof lining of the vehicle. The box can also contain accessories, such as a tent stored in its appropriate bag.

The appeal price of the five-seater Dacia Jogger is set at €16,790 at the time of writing these lines. This model is also available via a long-term rental offer (LLD) from €166 per month for 49 months or 50,000 kilometres, with the 100 horsepower Eco-G engine and the Essential finish. And this without the first increased rent.

5 questions about the Dacia Jogger

Which model to choose between the 5-seater version and the 7-seater version ?

Dacia thinks of large families, and offers its Jogger in five and seven-seater versions. Inevitably, the addition of two additional places raises the price of this family station wagon. On the other hand, it also reduces the volume of its trunk. This is where the main difference between the two models lies. The five-seater Jogger has a 708-litre trunk, or even 1,819 liters if the rear seat is folded down. In the seven-seater version, the boot volume is limited to 595 liters if and only if the third row of seats is folded. Otherwise, the trunk is limited to 160 litres, less than a small city car. Fortunately, the Dacia Jogger can be fitted with roof bars which allow you to install a roof box in particular. Note that in 2023, the Jogger will be equipped with a sleeping kit allowing the installation of a double bed on board its cabin. Convenient for camping!

What are the differences of the 2022 version of the Dacia Jogger ?

Like the entire Dacia range, the Jogger inherits a slight restyling in 2022 to match the change of brand identity of the manufacturer. Concretely, this involves the addition of the new Dacia Link logo on the grille, and the introduction of new minimalist lettering at the rear. The Jogger also benefits from a new body color, called Lichen Kaki. And its roof bars are painted in Methalite Grey.

Should you buy the Dacia Jogger ?

In 2021, Autonews was able to drive the Dacia Jogger for a full week. It was with the bi-fuel gasoline-LPG version of the seven-seater family station wagon that we were able to form our own opinion. We generally appreciated the finish, despite some small flaws. The gear change is particularly noisy. But we found the Jogger to be quite comfortable, thanks to its good cushioning and high ground clearance. Its 100 horsepower 1.0 Eco-G three-cylinder engine is a bit greedy, with consumption slightly above 10 l/100 km in the combined cycle with LPG. In gasoline, count rather 8 l / 100 km. By stabilizing its pace between 80 and 110 km / h depending on the road, we can however go down around 7 l / 100 km. The space on board is largely satisfactory,

What is the price for the family station wagon ?

The restyled version of Dacia's family station wagon is sold from €16,790 in 2022, with the 100 horsepower 1.0 Eco-G petrol-LPG engine and the entry-level Essential finish. In the seven-seater version, prices for this same model start from €18,200. Overall, the Jogger is an inexpensive vehicle: the most expensive model is the special Extreme + series, associated with the 1.0 TCe petrol engine of 110 horsepower. In this five-seater version, the Jogger is sold from €20,800

What rental offer ?

Like all manufacturers, Dacia offers rental on its models. The Jogger is no exception to the rule, and Dacia offers it with a long-term rental offer (LLD) from €166 per month. This offer is spread over 49 months, or 50,000 kilometres. Its main advantage is that it does not require the payment of a first increased rent, while builders generally claim several thousand euros to start a rental contract.

 

In short

Introduced in 2021 in the Dacia range, the Jogger did not particularly need a restyling in 2022. The family station wagon, however, receives some changes with the new Dacia logo on its grille. Painted in white and surrounded by patterns, it is a continuation of the headlights. Called Dacia Link, this logo is also available in the center of the rims, while the back of the Jogger receives minimalist lettering recalling the name of the model and its manufacturer. The Dacia Jogger also features a new body color called Lichen Kaki. Sold from €16,790 in a five-seater version, the Jogger will continue to receive upgrades. Dacia announces that it will be offered with a sleeping kit in 2023. This accessory makes it possible to deploy a double bed on board the passenger compartment.
