The Dacia Jogger is poised to take the place of the Largus in Russia once local plans advance, and its public debut occurred at the Munich motor show last September. Today it stands as the most affordable seven‑seat option in Europe, a practical blend that fuses the utility of a station wagon, the versatility of a compact crossover, and the cargo capacity of a van.
The km77 channel recently published a rigorous test known as a “moose” test, designed to simulate an emergency swerving scenario where an unexpected obstacle suddenly appears in the path. The objective is to navigate around the obstacle at 77 km/h without striking any cones. This evaluation is a standard measure of a vehicle’s agility and stability in sudden-corner situations.
In this instance, the Jogger did not reach the target. Its best result hovered around 70 km/h, and testers highlighted pronounced understeer as the vehicle entered the maneuver. The observation underscores the handling characteristics typical of a tall, family‑oriented wagon that prioritizes space over sportiness in fast, evasive maneuvers.
The Jogger stands as the flagship within the Dacia lineup. Its length reaches 4.55 meters, and with all rear seats folded flat for maximum cargo space, the trunk capacity hits an impressive 1819 liters. European specifications offer a choice of two three‑cylinder engines, with a hybrid variant announced for the near future. Given current geopolitical and production considerations, the timing of Jogger production for Russia remains uncertain.
