And quite a nice thing, right? The most sensible car is now cleaner and is called an automatic.
Today, cars are experience, marketing, style, feel and character. That is in many cases to disguise that you are on the road with a converted C-segment hatchback. Fine of course, if people have the money to do it then they should just do it of course.
Fortunately, there are also ‘refreshing’ cars. One of them is the Dacia Jogger. This is now also available as PHEV. Dacia had already revealed that it was coming and that it will make its debut at the Paris Salon. Now we know more!
Hybrid
Of course it is just a Dacia Jogger, but with a slightly different powertrain. The car – the Jogger Hybrid 140 as it is called – secretly gets quite an interesting powertrain, especially for our country. An atmospheric 1.6 four-cylinder (the other Joggers have turbo three-cylinders), two electric motors and an ingenious transmission should ensure low emission values.
With the Dacia Jogger you have a few advantages. A four-cylinder is often just a bit more pleasant than a three-cylinder. Thanks to the electric motor you can drive purely electrically for a bit and you can charge it. Handy for short journeys. Another advantage, in the Netherlands you pay BPM on the CO2 emissions. That is low at a PHEV, so the extra cost is probably not too bad. Then there is another advantage, because it is the only Jogger with an automatic transmission.
Most sensible car
Sure, we all promised ourselves a C63 AMG Estate or Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio as a family car. But if you have to recommend a sensible car, this may well be it. Everything stands and falls with the prices, of course, but usually Dacia knows how to ‘market’ the products relatively competitively.
Prices, performance, consumption and the like are all unknown yet. Dacia will announce that at a later date. Manufacturers often do this in phases, then you have just that little bit more press moments.
Speaking of press moments, the Dacia Jogger 140 Hybrid is of course on display shine at the Paris Salon 2022 where we @Wouter and @MartijnGizmo will send to.
