We still think the Jogger makes most sense in its cheaper entry-level petrol form, but if you've a little more in the budget, then this improved Hybrid version makes a good case for itself. With fuel economy figures proving that there really is no need to buy a diesel these days. Plus there's the advantage here of an automatic gearbox to replace the notchy 5-speeder you must have on the base version.
Otherwise, the pluses and minuses here are the same as those we gave you when we tested the Jogger in its simplest form. You won't get cutting-edge safety here or pin-sharp driving dynamics. But we'd contend that in both these areas, this Dacia is probably a better bet than the kind of four or five year-old family 7-seat SUV you'd get for the same money. Here, you're getting yourself a new car for the same outlay. And in the case of the Jogger Hybrid, a surprisingly sophisticated one.
