- This week on Buckle Up it's GOOD NEWS Harry reviews his latest purchase, a Dacia Jogger Comfort 110 TCe. This is the Romanian's brand new large 7 seat family car, though they refuse to decide if its an MPV, SUV or Estate. Starting from £16,645 it offers exceptional value, but is it any good?
Up against rivals such as the Citroen Berlingo, Ford Tourneo Connect, Peugeot Rifter, Renault Kangoo, Skoda Yeti, Vauxhall Combo Life and Volkswagen Caddy Life does the Dacia offer a thrifty but fun alternative?

One big like from me for this video review. I ordered mine in April (white extreme) and still waiting for it to be delivered.
Hopefully it will be with you soon, I had to chase my dealer cause they kept forgetting to update me
I was told 6 month build wait.
YEP AND ME
Ordered mine
I don’t understand why people are concerned about hard plastic…? I never rested by head on the dash when I drove Mercedes, neither do I in my new Sandero
Some people care, so it’s worth mentioning
We wear plastic clothes but we want cars with leather interiors.
Who's this we, the team here at buckle up generally don't wear plastic clothes, but we won't kink shame you
@@BuckleUpShow I'm referring to us people in general and our fads. All clothes contain more or less plastic, but the plastic in the car that we don't touch anyway bothers us. Anyway, the Dacia steering wheel and shifter are pleasant to the touch.
Yep, me too. I dont understand the hard plastic either? I'm not im gonna caress the hard plastic while im driving 😂
As a Duster owner (18 months), I don't care about brand snobbery, I absolutely love my Duster. I don't know how Dacia manage to produce their cars at such crazy prices, I have all the bells and whistles needed, and non that I don't need. Dacia have hit a stylish design formula, that no other maker can compete with. Great video, and no you've made a great choice. Cheers
Thanks Rob, glad you liked it
Just ordered a Jogger Extreme ..... you mention you can't understand why there aren't 1000's on the road? Delivery date for ours is May 2023 !!. Can't wait tbh 😊
It'll be worth the wait, don't worry!
There are going to be a lot of them on the road. My colleague got her Jogger 6 weeks ago and two other colleagues already ordered Joggers because they liked the car so much😂
Everyone who's been in mine has been very impressed
Ordered in september, delivery date is april or may 2023, Jogger extreme+.
As I said, I placed the order in September with delivery in May 2023. I was just contacted by the dealer who informed me that I will receive the car in December 2022. I can't wait.
Great review. As a 6 month Jogger owner I still have the same feelings. So I think you made the right choice for the purpose. It's hard not to like it if you appreciate the practicality of things(not only in the cars) - from the current Dacia production this seems to be true for Sandero and Duster in their respective groups. These days you even get some bells&whistles on these cars. Did you get the phone holder yet? It should have been there from the beginning, unattached.
No o still haven't been back to the dealer, I do need to get round to it
It's is impressive! I just bought a Duster, and the only reason why I didn't get the Jogger is because there's no option of a Jogger with automatic transmission. But I'm sure there would be in a few years. And I hope Dacia keeps true to its philosophy and keep those prices down.
Hybrid Jogger is available to order now with an automatic transmission. Due to the batteries and hybrid drive it does start from 22K unfortunately. Still making it is easily the cheapest HEV available on sale.
Great review, I’m going to wait until next year when the Jogger gets the hybrid engine, I test drove the Clio with the hybrid engine and loved it.
I’m sure that engine will be just as good in the Jogger as it’s surprisingly light given it’s size.
Mine should be arriving any day now. Ordered the 5pl Eco-G Extreme in terracotta. Can't wait...
You’re not going to be disappointed!
Love the review, very fair. I got a loan of a jogger when my own car was in for a service. I was a bit hesitant due to the one litre engine, but It was excellent! There are so many things I like about this car. One in particular is the Volvo type rear lights. In an age when rear lights are small and almost an afterthoughts in many makes ( which increases accident risk) it’s refreshing to have a car with lights you know others will see. The interior space is incredible! In an age when some car reviewers are calling £30,000 cars ‘affordable’ ( they don’t say for who though). It’s refreshing to have a car of this quality and reliability that definitely comes into the affordable category for many more people. Well done Dacia!
Yeah it's weird to be living in a world where a "normal" family car can easily cost into the mid 30k mark
Good review nicely put together with relevant info. I drive a 2010 Ford Galaxy my only gripes with the Jogger based on your video here is putting the very rear 2 seats down flat and entry to them .
The entry isn't great, I actually find it easer to just fold the backs down and step over. With the third row folded forwards you're really left wanting for boot space but it would be better if the seats could fold into the floor. It's the trade off for having such a bargain price tag
That’s how much cars should be and glad this has so much to offer for its price, like he said you can’t even buy a new fiesta for that price. Car prices have gone stupid. I love this and think it’s super super trendy and I will get one, at the moment I see people in them and make a point of saying “cool car”!
If dacia are managing to make money on this it does make you wonder why other brands don't do it
The car looks good, is affordable, and I'm considering it for my 4, soon to be 5, member family.
Thanks for the fun and informative review!
No worries, thanks for watching!
it was a No Brainer... i traded my Citroen C4 Grandtourer in for one. And have NOT been disappointed AT ALL.. really nice drive , no complaints from me, Well Done for the review,, very accurate
The value for money is just incredible
I am planning to do exactly the same, but I‘m having a hard time letting the C4 go.. Not 100% convinced yet. I find the Spacetourer so much more comfortable and less claustrophobic than the Jogger..
@@cuckooclock8514 it’s completely your choice of course. My C4 was Just perfect, But with the ULEZ charge coming soon I had to make the decision.
I’ve not been disappointed at all. Good luck👍🏼
Maybe the holder for your mobile phone is in the glovebox, it was on the demonstrator we saw in March. The dealer fitted ours into the slot on the side of the screen on the terracotta extreme w we took delivery of 2 weeks ago; if not tell the dealer it's missing. It's a great car:)
It isn't in the glove box, I definitely need to phone my dealer as apparently I should in fact have Hill hold too, but that's also missing 😅
Mine was next to the inflation kit.
No it wasn't there either
Wouldn't concern me at all having all those hard plastics in the cabin at least it'll be harder wearing, my 18 plate Mini ended up having a dent in the soft touch door cards from where I'd rest my elbow. Drove a Stepway a few weeks ago, much better than you'd ever expect it to be.
It's been months, so far it's elbow dent resistant
It is very difficult to come up with a reason not to buy this car
Nope, we're stumped as well
Seems that spare parts (eg coolant reservoir) are impossible to get.
There would have been thousands of these already by now if Dacia was fast enough to produce them. Unfortunately 1 car is like 6 months wait so it's very sluggish process to be fair like most new cars the wait is ridiculous nowadays. Ordered mine in August and expect it to arrive by end of February 2023. You forgot to mention the LED lights something you don't get from other major brands for the price. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Wow! A great review! I am looking to replace my 2014 Renault Grand Scenic and this is so similar in so many ways. I think I will go and take a look. Do they do a 4WD version of this car?
Unfortunately there is no 4wd version, and to the best of our knowledge there isn't one coming any time soon.
Getting mine this summer as my mum showed me hers that she got last year and I loved it so put my order in I have a large family so this is gonna be great!
An excellent choice
Superb family car we are going for the hybrid next year in extreme trim 👍
Great choice, thanks for watching!
There is a phone mount on your screen I can see the little pop out thing to attach the mount. That solves the phone issue
I didn’t get one from the dealer so think they have forgotten about it, hence my comments in the video.
Nice review, totally agree with you, a fantastic buy for the money!
Thanks for watching!
great review video and i love your style.
Thanks for watching 🙂
Just ordered mine because I have 6 dogs and wanted a practical car with a large interior. Didn't want an all singing and dancing suv. As yet I haven't seen one on the road but I can't wait to drive it in 6mths time. 😢
They did deliver mine faster than they said initially so hopefully it will come before six months is up
does the air con/ heater work while running on battery on the hybrid model?
I'm still waiting on Dacia to lend me a hybrid one unfortunately
Best real-world sale pitch probably having got a Ford Grand tourneo transit 5 seat Diesl2019 what a mouthful that is great practical economic but think found a great replacement when the wifey says yeah it's a working progress I 🤔 lovit
Go for it, it's a great car
I bought mine on the 7th July and collected it on the 9th July. Up to now very happy with the car, and have a 450 mile journey coming up in 3 weeks time with 4 up and a pile of luggage.
I'm sure you'll love it
great review, cheers mate.
No problem
I have a 'bottom of the range ' one. So far i'ts better than expected. It does not have the snazzy roof bars, just ordinary roof rails, which is odd. Also it has not got the idiot screen in the middle thing which would drive me to distraction!
On the plus side, it has a pull up hand break! The worst mpg I have had, (per tank full) hustling through heavy motorway traffock is fifty four! The best I've had is seventy six point four , but that's hardly real word.
I'm 5'9" and can lay down crosswise in the back with the rear seat removed. 🙂
I would have literally paid extra money to get a proper handbrake
The proper emergency brake is why I'd choose the basic model over the higher spec ones.
@@BuckleUpShow Me too. Not having a proper emergency brake would be the only reason for not buying this car.
About the Handbrake, you should have the Hill start assist by default ;)
I should, but I don't, I will be calling me dealer post haste to see what's going on there
@@BuckleUpShow To be sure I've just checked on mine. And yes. If you are up or down on a hill, when you release the brake pedal, it hold the pedal active for 3 or 4 seconds before release it (or until you accelerate i think).
I love the " alloys" that aren't " alloys"
Vauxhall did it with great success on astras and insignia.
It's just the littlest bit of extra effort that makes the difference between a car that feels cheap and one that feels like good value
it really does look like they nicked volvo's rear lights
A touch of class
TH-cam algorithm brought me here. Cool dude. Thx for the review!
Thanks very much for watching! Make sure to subscribe to see more!
Just found one on a lease for 2 years, £179 a month, extreme model in white, 3 months 1st payment.
Sounds good to us!
is there a way to remove the middle seats ?
Only by getting out the spanner set unfortunately
Hybrid jogger with Renault E tech technology Will be incredible! An automatic 140cv for just 1.3 ton!
Yeah but it's got a 4 speed auto, that's a little bit 1980s
A great and fair review. 💯agree
Cheers Matt, thanks for watching!
we paid 25000EUR including taxes for the maxed out model in austria (because we did not want to wait another 5months to get it) - so far we love the car. I really hope the engine will survive a lot of years because it is very small and only has three cylinders
They've been making the basic block for years and there are no horror stories
Very nice car, I would like to buy it. Thanks for the video, and take care.
Thanks, you too!
Roomster comment is spot on !
Thanks for watching
I wish that they would put the silver wheels on the top of range and not just black wheels
You can get them painted if you don’t like them
i know the black alloys look odd. all it takes is one scrape and the paints off
A good honest car no BS, great review thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Please in which country is Dacia Cars made. What about the spare parts
Romania
The clue is in the name. Dacia was the land teritory inhabited by our romanian ancestory before was called Romania, and the people back then were not called romanians were called daci (pronounce dutch like in Holland).
I just think it's neat
And very good value for money
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it, there are lots more available on the channel! 😁
Had two choices (well three, if they made a Civic Estate). Jogger petrol, hybrid Corrolla Touring. Mayyyybe a Skoda Octavia diesel, but no more diesels for me.
Went with Corolla. Costs me more, and wait is 8 months. Oh well, will be worth it I'm sure.
I'll take the extra 500 litres of space in the Jogger personally
There is really only one point preventing me from getting it: the lack of the k9k diesel engine. Renault has this amazing, economical, long lasting diesel in it's arsenal. And for some reason it decided NOT to offer this engine in the 7 seater van. Why???
Probably because it's not Euro 6 compliant, so if it had a diesel it would probably be an R series diesel
ive just bought a jogger expression turned my peugeot rifter in for it love the jogger im thinking of getting it chipped to cool the turbo down any comments welcome
Are you aware that will invalidate the warranty?
@@BuckleUpShow yeah I've been thinking about that cheers
It's going to be my next car . Only wished they made a diesel as I would have had that one like yesterday.
Diesel is the past, embrace the turbo petrol
I bought a comfort model in white at the end of March. It was delivered in late July. It was great for the first 4 weeks until it developed a leak in the coolant header tank. It was recovered to the dealership on 23 August and is still there over 3 months later. Dacia are unable to supply a basic 20 GBP replacement part. I have now started proceedings to reject the car as faulty.
I'm sorry you had this experience, my has been faultless so far and knock on wood it stays that way
That's rubbish. I wonder if parts will be available in future too. This would make the reliability of these a major issue moving forward.
Top review dude! I'm buying one and it'll be used as a private hire car 😊
An excellent choice sir
Wow what a cool car
Biased but we'll allow it
I just got a showroom jogger extreme and its ready to pick up next Friday. I had a 3 week wait 👍
I was going to buy a second hand vehicle with 60k on the clock.for over 10k. Why do that when you can get a jogger for these prices.
Car market is very odd.nowdays.
Jogger is a stand out value prospect.
Great purchase, enjoy!
just bought one.....yay....
Congratulations
If only I could get the HMRC to consider it a “commercial” vehicle I could run it through my business
That would be good, and probably a diesel engine to allow for a high payload capacity
Great car great choice!
Thanks for watching!
Too bad the Dacia letters on the back were not stamped into (Or raised)out of the deck. I saw that when I was last in Romania in 1997 on the older trucks.
I think it’s all down to cost, metal pressing is a bit more expensive than stickers
@@BuckleUpShow Once you make the stamp, it will last for ages! 😁
I've just ordered the hybrid version, a seven month wait
That's a long old wait
A car without Hill-Hold in 2022? Really not an acceptable place to save money if I'm being honest. Especially without a proper manual handbrake.
I was wrong, but I have to give the break a hard push for a good second or so for it to engage, it's a bit too fickle for my liking
You say there are no cup holders in the second row of three try flip up the tray and pull towards you and you will find a cup holder.
Flip up what tray? This is a comfort (mid-spec) model, it doesn't have the seat back tray tables
ok i have just seen them on other cars we are looking at the 1-6 auto
@@BuckleUpShow
Some people in Türkiye comment like: "I would rather buy a commercial like a Doblo, Caddy or Rifter"...
They forget that they are commercial, they have low speed limits and they have annual TUV examinations every year...
Dacia Jogger is the best family car by far...
They don't even sell the Doblo here anymore, the Rifter is EV only and a Caddy even with only two seats is more expensive. Jogger all the way
i just hate the seat release system but it's definetly my car, practical and essential.
i don't have a family, but i'm determined to camperize it and trip until the engine implores me to stop
The rearmost seats are a little fiddly but they're not actively baffling like some cars from the early 2000s, I just wish it was easier to remove the second row as well
Should get a Docker, better suited for conversion due to a higher interior. Lots of kits, just utube it.
The Dokker isn't available in the UK
Test drove it, great car but no leg room in the back.
Do you mean the second or third row?
@@BuckleUpShow 2nd row, more room in 3rd !
I'm a taxi driver. The only reason I haven't bought one yet is reservations about the engine. I'm not bothered about the speed of the 1.0 litre, but I'm not sure if it will last 100 thousand plus. If there was a diesel option I'd have one now.
There are currently a few examples of the 0.9 block for sale on auto trader with over 100k, but they are from before it got bumped up to 109 horsepower
Most of the taxi's in Romania are Logans using a similar engine but with slightly less power. A lot of them are the old shape Logan so for a taxi I would guess they have done many, many miles.
Has it drum brakes rear...
Yes
@@BuckleUpShow Ahh sucks, but thanks for reply.
I am an fan
You’re not the only one
Interesting vehicle with great potential, however lawnmower ENGINE cancels any PURCHASE.
I would love to try your 110 hp lawnmower
Nice Car 👍
Thanks for watching!
how could you get it in white and not BROOOOWWWNNN
WE WANT BROWN, WE WANT BROWN
Because why spend like £600 on paint 🤷🏻♂️
they say terrocatta but i see jobbie brown
You wouldn't buy one because its not available with the 1.5DCi in the UK! for us high mileage drivers anyway.
I mean the MPG is good and I never have to worry about a clogged DPF, EGR or adding AdBlue
good mpg but it doesn't do 70mpg and the DCi has no dpf issues with high mileage users normally.
Harry really likes the word Squidgy doesn't he
He sure does!
The new volvos are no longer realistic family cars. They are just way too fancy and expensive at this point, and the family reliability is more of a brand image than a reality. This is the new Volvo V70, all be it more budget but everyone is poorer now so that's correct.
Thanks for watching
I wouldn't buy it because of the 20 second unskippable TH-cam advert for it. The music is so annoying.
We'll be sure to feed this back to Dacia for you, thanks for watching!
@@BuckleUpShow As if Dacia care what you say.
Okay Bob, thanks again for watching!
Do they all have an electric emergency brake? I hate them & it's a deal breaker for me. Surely the main point of an emergency brake is that you have access to a cable operated brake should all hydraulics be lost. An automatic emergency brake cannot be used in an emergency.
The base spec still has a manual hand brake I believe
@@BuckleUpShow good news, thanks for your quick reply.
Mate... Have one of your guys try and drive it with you on the last row. It will looke like the thing is about to take off....
The only upsetting thing about this comment is your lack of understanding of physics. Well, not the only thing, your syntax leaves a lot to be desired too.
I don't agree, this car is not cheaper, the rest of cars are too much expensive....
However Dacia is becoming more expensive, a Duster 4x4 is about 25000....
We just shouldn't allow how cars are becoming more and more expensive and hard to afford for everybody...
Dacia is a decent equilibrium between what we need and what we pay.
The Duster 4x4 is priced from £20,945 and even optioned up is just over £22k. This is exceptional value for money. Currently inflation in the UK is running at 9.9 percent and workers waged have been depressed for the last 15 years. The car industry is not to blame for the fact our labour market refuses to offer real terms wages.
Go on strike, demand fair compensation and hold the ones responsible accountable.
Not buying it , because if any of the car systems fails, there are no spare parts. It is as simple, as the dacia factory are not supplying the vendors with spare parts :( This has been confirmed by my local vendor. And I am experiencing it on my own Jogger :(
That's a lot of car brands at the moment, nearly everyone is still behind on demand and car parts are worth more on new vehicles than as spares
@@BuckleUpShow I understand, but I am waiting for 3 months already and still there is no info when the part will be delivered... I have the Jogger since 4 months as for the last 3 cannot use it, because waiting for spare parts .......
Find out the part number and call round your local dealers
@@BuckleUpShow Oh... I am thinking about this and many other people have come to the same decisions in similar situations, but ... this will only confirm that Dacia is not providing a real warranty to its cars :( Paying the price of the car I am paying for warranty too. If I get the car somewhere else to fix it (I know a place that will fix the car even better then the official service), Dacia will end my warranty. On the other hand they are not fixing it under the warranty. It is a loose - loose situation.
Okay well going to a different Dacia dealer won't void your warrenty, dealers aren't owned directly by Dacia so what one has in its service inventory will be different for each dealership.
Also, what is it that's actually broken on your car, and with it having been three months have you tried escalating it at all with the finance company or dacia corporate because odds are if you want out they'll buy your car back and you can walk away obligation free.
The fuel consumptions are very high for a slow and low powered car. The exterior design is getting better but the interior is still made of cheap plastics.
What petrol powered 7 seater are you driving around that's getting over 50 MPG? And please name a 17k car that doesn't have hard plastics in the interior
JA gut. Aber wir nehmen den Ford 👍
Welche Ford??
@@BuckleUpShow. Ja nur Ford 👍💯
Nein, welches Ford-Modell
Dieses Auto hat riesen Probleme mit der Batterie und der Lichtmaschine!!!
bitte erklaren
My battery is fine
Can't you find a drawback? Why don't you show the closing of the boot door? Because I realised this very quicly even without being an 'expert' on cars as you may be... And certainly i will not subscribe to your channel... Sorry.
Within the context of the price there is no fatal flaw, but I definitely didn't say it was without fault.
There's no problem with how the boot shuts, I'm not really sure why you're hung up on that. Actual flaws would be the engines non-linear power delivery, some of the material quality on the interior, the odd pedal spacing but I have no complaints for closing the boot.
If you feel there is something I failed to mention please say, but don't swan about being more cryptic that mystic Meg.
because it looks like an utility vehicle
Do you like it?
@@BuckleUpShow no
What would you prefer?
I’ll tell you how Dacia still makes money on those , they are simply a bigger piece of junk that you are willing to accept. Especially after you bought it. People will notice down the road that reliably costs money. Show me a 20 y old Dacia, I’ll show you a 20y old BMW and a 18y old Audi and you can compare.

Bold move suggesting 20 year old BMW's are reliable, I mean I guess e46s are mechanically sound in the sense their driveline will still be working when the rear sub-frame fails and consumes itself.
Hey there, happy to see you enjoying it and i hope you won't have any issues with it xD
Over 6000 miles now and still going strong
