The new daciauk Jogger Hybrid brings 138bhp and should offer a dramatic efficiency boost
This means the Jogger Hybrid brings total outputs of 138bhp and 184lb ft, supplementing the petrol unit's output with two electric motors – one a small e-motor used as a starter-generator and the other effectively a beefed-up alternator. The combined output is sent to the front axle through an automatic gearbox with two ratios for the EV motor and four for the petrol engine.
Both electric motors are charged via recaptured energy stored in a small, 1.2kWh battery that can also be used to make electric-only running possible for"80% of urban journeys", Dacia says. In city driving, the firm says the Jogger Hybrid is 40% more fuel-efficient than the ICE variant, and it boasts a WLTP-certified touring range of more than 560 miles.
Carrying capacity is unhindered by the electrified underpinnings, with the battery housed in the spare wheel compartment. Performance details are unconfirmed, but in the Clio, this powertrain pushes the car from 0-62mph in 9.9sec and to a top speed of 112mph. The heavier, seven-seat Jogger is unlikely to match those figures, but it should be quicker off the mark than the existing Jogger, which uses a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine good for 108bhp and 148lb ft.
The Jogger is currently priced from £16,645 in Essential trim, making it the UK's cheapest seven-seater. The electrified model is expected to sit just north of the £20,000 mark, given a list price in France of €24,600 .
