It's perhaps no surprise that the biggest breath of fresh air the seven-seater has seen for a while has been blown in by Dacia. In the Jogger, the budget brand has delivered a nearly fully scaled and fully equipped people mover for less than the price of a mainstream supermini. Sure, Romanian machine isn't the last word in style or sophistication, but it carries itself with such assurance and lack of pretension that it's hard not to be won over by its charms.
Straddling the line between estate, MPV and SUV, the Jogger is a car that almost manages to be all things to all people. As a people carrier there's just enough space for seven adults, although the third row is best left to children on longer journeys, while lowering or removing all the rear seats liberates a van-like 2094-litres of carrying capacity.
On the move there's a supple, languid gait to its ride, while the turbocharged 1.0-litre triple is a smooth and willing accomplice, although it loses some of its fizz when travelling seven-up. Light and accurate steering combines with a subtly raised seating position to make the Dacia easy to place on the road, and while the Jogger’s can roll like a drunk when cornering hard, grip is strong and the handling always remains faithful.
