For 159 euros per month, 7 seats and ECO label, the SUV’s worst nightmare wants to be a bargain

Posted on

Thinking today of a 7-seater car is synonymous with SUV, a segment that has gone and is gradually killing minivans. However, brands like Dacia still give hope to those who need a car for the whole family without it being an SUV and for little money. And so they show it with the Dacia Jogger, a minivan that swims against the tide with a tempting offer that allows you to take it home for 159 euros per month.

But we must be aware that enjoying said price entails financing with the signature. In this way, it is necessary to read the fine print of the offer, since otherwise we risk finding ourselves with a final result far from what we imagined, mainly because of the interests to which the financing is subject.

This is the Dacia Jogger that you can take home for less than 160 euros per month

But before talking about numbers we must know what Dacia Jogger we get for 159 euros per month. Specifically it is about the Expression variant associated with the ECO-G enginethat is, the two access options, but which also offer many advantages such as a fairly complete standard equipment and with the ECO label.

And it is that this is demonstrated by a standard endowment made up of elements such as 16-inch wheels, LED headlights, speed limiter regulator, 8-inch touch screen, rear parking aids, manual air conditioning, automatic lights and 7 seats among others.

As far as mechanics is concerned, the Dacia Jogger ECO-G boasts a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine capable of delivering 101 hp and 170 Nm of torque. Modest figures that are managed by means of a six-speed manual gearbox and that allow a 0 to 100 in 12.3 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h. But the advantage of this engine is that it also runs on LPG, thus giving the Dacia minivan the DGT ECO label.

But, what requirements does the Romanian firm ask us when it comes to checkout? The first is an entry of 3,814.08 euros and which would give us access to 36 installments of 159 euros and a last one of 13,287.60 euros. To this we must add an APR of 10.92%, a TIN of 7.75%, an opening commission of 482.48 euros and a payment protection of 530.11 euros.

All this causes the final price to pay for the Dacia Jogger go up to 23,308.16 euros, an equally good figure if we take into account how the market is and that we have 7 seats and an ECO label. However, it seems somewhat high compared to the 19,848 euros that the firm asks for a Jogger of the same configuration but paid in cash.

The Dacia Jogger in What car do I buy?

Now, we must clarify that the Dacia Jogger it is not the only economical car with 7 seats available on the market, although this implies going to the SUV segment in most cases. This is something we discovered through What car do I buy?Diariomotor’s comparator where we will find the largest offer of new cars and second hand.
