Dacia Jogger Cars
The Dacia Jogger is the latest offering from the Romanian car manufacturer, and it is set to become a game changer in the family vehicle category. Designed to cater for large families and adventurous individuals, this seven-seater wagon has a lot of features that make it ideal for New Zealand driving conditions.
At 4.55 metres long and 1.8 metres wide, the Jogger has ample space for passengers and luggage. Its boot can hold up to 712 litres of cargo, but this capacity increases to an impressive 1,819 litres with the rear seats folded down.
Powering the Jogger is a petrol or diesel engine available in different capacities (between 90hp and 130hp), mated to either manual or automatic transmission. While it may not be the fastest car on the road, it more than makes up for this by delivering excellent fuel economy (up to 6 litres per 100 km), making it perfect for New Zealand's high fuel prices.
With electric power steering and multi-link suspension at its rear, the Dacia Jogger provides smooth handling on various types of terrain. Whether navigating winding roads or steep slopes with a fully loaded cargo compartment, you can rest assured that your ride will be comfortable.
As far as safety goes, buyers can expect six airbags, ABS brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Hill Start Assist as standard across all models.
On top of all these features comes an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility accessible via an eight-inch touchscreen display screen; drivers can connect their phone via Bluetooth, too. Comfort wise air conditioning is available from Comfort level trim upward too so everyone inside stays cool even during warm summer months.
Overall the Dacia Jogger seems well-suited for larger Kiwi families who prioritize space and practicality above luxury while still being versatile enough that some have been known to venture off-road camping with ease in New Zealand conditions thanks largely due to its size height (e.g. being able to take bumpy dirt roads better). It may lack frills that some higher-priced rivals provide; however ultimately providing reliable transport over time which New Zealand families will undoubtedly appreciate especially given Kiwi families go through on average slightly older cars before upgrading them relative compared internationally-speaking to many European countries for example.
