Here is the cheapest 7-seater hybrid at the moment.

In 2023, the hybrid Jogger introduced this type of engine in the Dacia lineup without giving up its 7 seats.

After establishing itself in the electric vehicle market with the Spring, Dacia launched the hybrid version of the Jogger. The hybrid system of the Jogger combines a 90 hp 4-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors, providing a combined power of 140 horsepower. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission without a clutch, of which 2 are allocated for electric driving.

The Jogger Hybrid is not a plug-in vehicle and the all-electric range is nearly non-existent, but the vehicle is not meant to operate primarily in this mode. The small 1.2 kWh battery charges during deceleration phases and allows for city driving without starting the internal combustion engine. A “Brake” mode even enhances engine braking, thereby charging the battery more quickly. The real advantage is that in terms of consumption, savings can reach 40% in urban cycles compared to an equivalent thermal model, allowing for more than 900 km on a full tank. And above all, no penalties!

The battery is located under the trunk floor, in the space typically designated for the spare wheel. This configuration allows for maintaining the trunk volume, which is identical to that of the thermal Joggers. When purchasing this type of car, giving up luggage space is out of the question, so the essentials are preserved, and with a repair kit, there’s no stress in case of a flat.

With a base price of 26,100 euros in Expression trim, this Jogger offers an ideal solution for families seeking 7 seating positions without having to travel with luggage on their laps. Considering the amenities offered, it provides a financially particularly attractive solution.
