Family 7-seater Dacia Jogger HYBRID 140 for model year 2023

The Dacia Jogger boasts one of the most affordable and versatile 7 seater family cars. It combines the length of a station wagon, the capacity of a minivan and the features of an SUV. Rugged and sporty, the Jogger offers an excellent level of comfort for all occupants, even adults seated in the third row.

The all-new hybrid model has all the benefits of the original Jogger without sacrificing storage space or roominess. A testament to the versatility of the Dacia Jogger is that it was designed from the outset to accommodate the traction battery used in hybrid engines. It mounts under the floor panel in place of the spare wheel, similar to the gas bottle on models with the ECO-G 100 engine.

Proven technology at the Renault Group

By developing truly multi-modal hybrid engines, rather than simply equipping traditional internal combustion engines with electric motors, the Jogger HYBRID 140 guarantees:

• 100% electric start
• Driving pleasure in all conditions thanks to the increased power of the electric drive, even when accelerating.
• Excellent fuel economy, especially thanks to the automatic transmission function in combination with the clutchless transmission.

Efficient regenerative braking and high battery capacity. The culmination of the Renault Group's many years of experience in Formula 1 and electric vehicles.

With these features, the Jogger HYBRID 140 can run in all-electric mode for up to 80% of city driving time, resulting in 40% fuel economy compared to a similar gasoline engine in city driving with the same driving style.

Kinetic energy can be recovered during deceleration and braking and converted into electrical energy to recharge the battery. The battery can also be recharged by the ICE engine using energy management principles designed to operate at optimum power (such as when the Jogger is on the highway) to get the most power from the fuel used.

This means that the battery is charged whenever the power output exceeds the required power. The excess energy can then be used to offload the internal combustion engine during hard acceleration or to provide all-electric driving when the preferred route is through urban areas.

Excellent response thanks to innovative gearbox

The clutchless gearbox combined with the diesel-electric pair guarantees all-electric starting. Significantly reduces acceleration pauses when shifting gears, thereby improving ride comfort and acceleration performance.

Dual engine that combines responsiveness, driving pleasure and efficiency

The hybrid technology used in the Jogger has been extensively tested by the Renault Group. It uses a simple intelligent architecture and unique testing processes. This makes it particularly reliable and durable.

The 1.6L engine is paired with two electric motors - a 36 kW (49 hp) engine and an HSG (High Voltage Starter Generator) - and an innovative multi-mode clutchless transmission. An innovative combination of electric motors and gearbox helps to optimize gear changes, making them smoother.

Responsiveness and energy optimization

Thanks to the combination of two electric motors, an innovative multi-mode gearbox and an internal combustion engine, the variety of operating modes is very wide.

• All-electric starting: The lack of clutch in the innovative powertrain means the car can start acceleration in all-electric mode without relying on the internal combustion engine. Thus, hybrid vehicles use the main electric motor every time to take off. It's a nice addition that gives you instant access to torque for a very fast start.
• Automatic adaption to the road situation: the technology is based on a series-parallel architecture that combines the best aspects of every form of hybrid engine (series, parallel and series-parallel). The motors work singly or together, directing their power to the wheels or the battery. The transmission manages the power of the engine depending on what the car might need in terms of acceleration and power, as well as battery regeneration. This is done according to 15 different riding modes which reflect different engine and transmission combinations.

While driving, switching between modes is almost imperceptible and does not require driver intervention. The system automatically selects the best mode for the situation in order to reduce emissions, optimize fuel consumption and ensure a fast and enjoyable driving experience.

Energy recovery and regenerative braking

This technology also helps optimize energy management during deceleration and braking.

• Battery regeneration during braking: when the accelerator pedal is raised and the shift lever is in the "Drive" position, the main electric motor operates as a generator. It recovers the kinetic energy generated by the vehicle during braking and converts it into electricity, which is returned to the battery.
• Mode "B": to recuperate more energy, the shift lever can be moved to the brake position (B). This increases the efficiency of regeneration; at maximum battery charge and braking speed of approximately 7 km/h.
• Regenerative braking: depressing the brake pedal activates the electrical brake assist system. If necessary, further "mechanical" braking by brake pads is carried out. Here, the electric motor also provides additional braking power and can recover excess energy to return to the battery without exceeding its capacity.

The "B" mode is especially suitable for vehicles such as the Jogger, which were designed for family and leisure use. When the vehicle is carrying or towing additional weight, regenerative braking is provided by the optimized engine brake, which is sufficient in such conditions.

Dacia's first hybrid engine

The Jogger HYBRID 140 hybrid engine delivers maximum efficiency and unsurpassed dynamics on the road. for the 5-seat model, it can accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h in just 8.7 seconds (8.8 seconds for the 7-seat model). Regenerative braking combined with the high self-charging capability of the 1.2 kWh (230 V) batteries and system efficiency helps to optimize energy consumption. This means it can spend up to 80% of its time on city roads in all-electric mode, which is equivalent to 40% fuel economy compared to a gasoline engine in the city, all without changing driving style. In all-electric mode, the Jogger HYBRID 140 can reach speeds of 65-70 km/h, with a top speed sometimes reaching 160 km/h. (subject to battery charge and local regulations).

On the combined cycle, the Jogger HYBRID 140 consumes 4.8 l/100 km and emits 108 g/km CO2. The capacity of the trunk is not affected by the location of the battery, which was successfully placed in place of the spare wheel: 708 dm3 in a 5-seater and from 160 to 595 dm3 in a 7-seater. And the maximum luggage capacity is still as much as 1819 dm3! In this way, the Jogger remains true to its vocation as a versatile, roomy family car.

Driving a Jogger HYBRID 140

The HYBRID 140 treadmill delivers a unique riding experience thanks to the system's innate intelligence and optimized energy management principles. The preferred transmission combination takes into account the wishes of the driver (required power) and the optimum power is continuously calculated. This has a positive effect on both performance and fuel consumption.

The driver does not have to worry about anything, Jogger does it all discreetly. Thanks to the connection efficient hybrid engine (140 hp, 205 Nm in EV mode) with an agile and responsive chassis, driving becomes much more enjoyable and relaxing without compromising driving pleasure.
