"Dacia's first seven-seat, large family car is unbelievably good value for money. If you're after luxury and creature comforts then go elsewhere but if budget and space are your priorities the Jogger is the car you've been waiting for. The regular version is available in three keenly priced trim levels. If budget is your first, second and third priority when choosing a large car, look no further. You will not find a cheaper new seven-seater on the market (you'll barely find a cheaper used seven-seater for sale). Not only is the price tag of the Jogger ridiculously cheap, but the running costs for the car are also brilliantly low, thanks to its efficient engine and lack of weight. Indeed, on the scales it's about the same as a Lotus Exige sports car and its small petrol engine sips fuel, so you'll barely find yourself at the pumps. Insurance premiums should be low, too, on the basis while it may weigh the same as the Lotus you won't be driving it in a similar manner. Six airbags, IsoFix childseat mounts on the outer positions of the middle row and a generally strong structure mean its occupant protection is actually pretty solid and NCAP rated the standard automatic emergency braking system as effective. Rear parking sensors are also standard, as is tyre pressure monitoring. Upgrade to the middle Comfort trim and you get a reversing camera, front parking sensors and blind-spot warning as well which is, well, pretty damn impressive."
