Dacia Jogger now has a hybrid sibling that broadens its appeal for families and practical buyers who want efficiency without sacrificing space or versatility. Building on the lineage of the Lada Largus and the Logan MCV, the Jogger Hybrid 140 integrates a plug for modern propulsion into a familiar, roomy compact crossover package. The hybrid strategy was developed in collaboration with Renault, leveraging the E-Tech architecture that has gained attention for balancing performance with economy in urban and highway driving alike. The powertrain pairing reflects a deliberate choice to offer more usable torque and smoother acceleration while keeping fuel bills in check for daily commuting and long weekend getaways.
Under the hood sits a 90 horsepower petrol engine paired with a 49 horsepower electric traction motor. Together they deliver a peak output of 140 horsepower, which is distributed to the front wheels in a seamless blend that can respond quickly to changes in road conditions and load. The electrical system is compact, featuring a battery of just 1.2 kilowatt-hours. The compact battery size is a deliberate compromise: it supports valuable recuperation during braking and gentle electrified propulsion in city traffic without significantly increasing the vehicle’s overall weight or taking up precious cargo space. The system is designed to recharge during normal driving, not only in dedicated charging cycles, which supports real-world usability for daily trips and errands.
The manufacturer claims that the hybrid configuration delivers roughly a 40 percent reduction in fuel consumption compared with the conventional petrol variant. This improvement translates to enhanced range efficiency on the same tank, and in practice this can mean extending the distance covered on a single fill by a meaningful margin for many drivers. On the WLTP cycle the figure translates into a longer driving range before a refill is necessary, a benefit that can influence planning for family trips or weekly commutes that cross several towns and suburbs. The Jogger family line has always prioritized practicality and interior space, and the hybrid version keeps that promise while offering a quieter, more economical ride during urban crawling and highway stretches alike. The overall result is a vehicle that can deliver comfortable seating for up to seven people when configured with the optional third row, plus a sizeable cargo area that adapts from groceries to sports gear with ease, now with improved efficiency behind the wheel.
It is worth noting that the Dacia Jogger is based on the CMF-B platform, the same architecture that underpins several contemporary compact models in the broader Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. This shared foundation helps align the Jogger Hybrid 140 with other members of the cohort, including the newer Lada B-class model sometimes referred to in industry discussions as Granta-2, and the third generation Renault Logan. There were initial plans to continue production in Togliatti for the Logan lineage, actions that would have tied the model closely to the region’s automotive history; however, those plans have since shifted. The CMF-B platform is known for enabling roomy interiors within compact footprints, efficient packaging, and a modular approach that supports a range of powertrains without compromising the vehicle’s practicality or safety margins. The result is a versatile family car that can handle school runs, weekend getaways, and everything in between with an emphasis on efficiency and everyday usability.

The information above reflects contemporary automotive reporting from a Russian newspaper that covered the rollout and specifications of the Jogger Hybrid 140 at the time of its public discussions. The broader context highlights how this model fits into a wider trend toward electrified, practical crossovers that emphasize real-world fuel savings and daily usability for Canadian and American drivers who value cargo capacity, flexible seating, and reliable performance for mixed driving conditions. The Jogger line continues to position itself as a pragmatic option in the subcompact to compact crossover segment, offering a balance of efficiency, space, and value that resonates with families, commuters, and travelers alike. This generation echoes the ongoing shift toward electrified mobility while preserving the adaptive, four-season practicality that buyers in North America often seek when choosing a versatile weekly transport solution.
