Dacia's first hybrid is on its way to European dealerships

The Jogger Hybrid 140 is the first Dacia model to feature hybrid technology. It is set to arrive in dealerships from March 2023, with orders being taken from January 2023.

The Hybrid 140 uses a four-cylinder 1.6 l petrol engine providing 90 hp, two electric engines (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter generator), 1.2 kWh battery, and an automatic electric gearbox with four gears coupled to the combustion engine and two gears coupled to the electric motor. Dacia hasn't given performance details but the total power output stands at 140 hp.

"The Jogger's all-electric traction when starting and automatic transmission make the vehicle comfortable and easy to drive, enhancing driving pleasure and energy performance alike. The battery charges when the driver brakes or slows down, creating a truly limitless hybrid experience." Dacia claimed.

 

 

The Jogger Hybrid 140 has range of over 900 km (in WLTP combined cycle). The car's battery is guaranteed for the first eight years or 160,000 km, whichever comes sooner. The battery is installed beneath the floor of the car in the spare wheel compartment, which is also where the LPG tank for the ECO-G 100 engine can be found.

The Jogger Hybrid 140 features its own specific 7" instrument panel, which shows several different focuses in line with the driver's preferences plus essential information such as the level of traction battery charge, remaining range and energy flow, to name just a few. Another standard feature is an electronic parking brake, as well as a high console with closed storage and an armrest.
