Autocar writers' cars of 2022: Why does James Disdale love the Dacia Jogger so much? The roof bars, of course
There’s so much I love about the Jogger that it’s difficult to know where to start, so let’s take it from the top. Literally, because theFor many SUVs and estates, roof rails are more of a lifestyle status symbol, hinting at an exciting out-of-office-hours existence involving kayaks and carbonfibre-framed bicycles. Yet they’re often no more than decoration: you still need to buy the crossbars to use them.
This isn’t exactly an attractive car, but those tall and boxy lines allow it to offer genuine seven-seat space and versatility in a footprint that’s barely bigger than a compact estate. The interior is also designed to be as easy to use as possible, with a simple layout and up to 23 litres of storage, which helps make light work of all those odds and ends that families tend to accumulate.
And if you need to carry things rather than people, then the third-row seats can be removed, the middle bench folded and a cavernous 2094 litres of carrying capacity liberated. For reference, awagon, the large-estate king, can only muster 1820 litres. Few vehicles this side of a van are as handy for hauling big loads.
This might make the Dacia sound like a dull but worthy utilitarian choice, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Of course, the Jogger isn’t attention-grabbing street sculpture or an apex-hugging high-performance weapon, but it is packed with charm and is always a pleasure to pedal.
