Dacia Jogger 1.6 HEV Extreme 5dr Auto Hybrid Estate, , Given value for money is key to the Joggers appeal the extra cost of the hybrid version presents a challenge. On the one hand it goes further for the same amount of petrol, and we actually scored better than the claimed official fuel consumption on our test. Which is probably a first. If most of your driving is around town you might do even better, too. The automatic gearbox is a nice-to-have as well. The hybrid version of the Jogger is quite a bit heavier than the standard petrol one, which helps it feel a little more substantial on the road and a good bit more refined. Light steering, the convenience of the automatic gearbox, the extra shove of the electric motor and the soft, comfortable ride all help you feel youre getting some return on the extra upfront cost. Thankfully theres no intrusion on the amazing practicality inside either, which isnt always the case with all hybrids. So, you still get the excellent middle row with three genuinely usable seats rather than the two and a half of most similarly sized cars, while the two in the third row are even viable for full size passengers at a pinch. If you want to remove them to run the Jogger in five-seat mode and enjoy one of the biggest boots in the business its a simple process as well, given theyre light and fold away neatly to stash at home.
