Dacia Jogger Essential: The "cheapest" version reaches its range...

Dacia Jogger Essential

The evolution of the automotive sector has caused the price of new cars grows, and a lot. Today it is not easy to find a model touched by the divine grace of the "three B's" (Good, Nice and Cheap). The reasons for such a situation are many and varied, but there are two vital ones. First: scarcity of raw materials. It is not about the lack, as such, but the increase in its price and consequently the reduction of the offer before the demand.

In second place we have the global crisis of semiconductors. And finally, as a gift, the rupture of logistics chains due to these and other situations such as the war in Ukraine. However, to avoid the flight of all customers who cannot afford to buy a new car the Dacia Jogger Essential is born. Its sales pitches, although hackneyed, are simple and logical and although it is not that cheap, it could be the final solution.

The new Dacia Jogger Essential is available in Spain from €18.040 in the ECO-G 100 CV and 5-seater version…

Dacia Jogger Essential 2

As you know, the Dacia Jogger is the most "fresh and current" model of the Romanian house. The last time we talked about him was on the occasion of the commercial launch of the Hybrid version. Well, its range has been improved with the introduction of an even more basic version called Essential. With it, those responsible for the brand want to prevent customers who cannot buy a new model from making the leap to the entire range of pre-owned...

Starting from this premise, as you can imagine, the Jogger Essential offers a "restrained" endowment starting because the only possible configuration is with 5 seats. However, the list will not lack elements such as LED optics with automatic ignition, hill start assistant, speed limiter or anti-fog headlights. In addition to ISOFIX anchors, manual climate control or simple ones sheet metal rims 16-inch with Miliana hubcaps.

Regarding its design, there is little to point out, although is available with the entire palette of tones in the range. Of course, the sheet metal wheels with hubcaps detract from all the appeal. However, its 1.0 CV 100 ECO-G engine with turbo and the possibility of “drink” gasoline or LPG makes you worthy of the DGT ECO label. For its management, the Romanian house relies on a 6-speed manual gearbox which sends the force to the ground through the front axis.

All in all, if you are looking for a new model but your budget is still tight, this Dacia Jogger Essential is your car. Of course, you have to weigh what qualities you are looking for in a product like this... with this starting price...
