Dacia Jogger gets 2026 facelift
Thu, 27 Nov 2025
- Updated looks, upgraded interior and more safety tech
- New 155PS hybrid
- Updated infotainment system
- Prices start at £18,995
The Dacia Jogger, one of the most practical and budget-friendly seven-seaters on sale, has been given a big update for 2026, bringing sharper styling, a heavily upgraded cabin, improved safety systems and the arrival of a more powerful 155PS hybrid.
There are visual tweaks with new LED lights, a redesigned grille and new alloy wheel options. Inside, the changes are more substantial: sturdier new materials, redesigned dashboard elements, wider use of Dacia’s YouClip accessory mounts and, on most trims, a new 10-inch touchscreen with connected navigation and wireless smartphone connectivity.
Safety-wise, there’s an enhanced autonomous emergency braking system, improved driver attention monitoring, updated lane-keeping systems and a multi-view camera setup on higher models.
Despite all these updates, prices are up only £25 compared with the outgoing model, keeping it comfortably among the UK’s most affordable seven-seat cars.
With the Dacia Jogger already undercutting seven-seater rivals like the van-based Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Rifter, the changes will keep it fresh against its opposition that also, in size and practicality at least, include the much more expensive Skoda Kodiaq and Nissan X-Trail.
2026 Dacia Jogger prices and release date
The revised Dacia Jogger is available to order now. Pricing starts at £18,995 for the entry-level Essential model with the TCe 110 engine, rising to £20,295 for the mid-spec Expression TCe 110.
Go for the new Hybrid 155 engine in Expression trim and you’ll have to pay £23,330, while the top-spec Extreme trim costs £21,595 with the TCe 110 engine or £24,630 for the Hybrid 155.
2026 Dacia Jogger styling, interior and technology
Dacia has given the Dacia Jogger a noticeable visual refresh, adopting the brand’s latest design cues. The front end features a bold new grille linked by a pixel-style horizontal bar, while new LED lighting with an inverted ‘T’ signature aims to enhance the car’s stance.
At the back, vertical LED ‘pixel’ elements extend into the bootlid glass with the aim of creating a wider look.
Depending on trim, buyers also get new wheel designs, a shark-fin antenna and rugged body elements made from Starkle, a recyclable material containing 20% recycled plastic that improves durability. A new Sandstone metallic paint option joins the range.
Inside, the Dacia Jogger receives new tougher upholstery, reshaped air vents and an updated dashboard. Most models now feature a 10-inch touchscreen with connected navigation with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while hybrid versions get a seven-inch digital driver display.
Dacia’s handy YouClip mounting system is now standard, offering four attachment points for accessories such as phone holders, storage solutions or tablet mounts. There’s even one in the boot.
Comfort and safety has also been boosted, with features such as automatic headlights, power-folding mirrors, a wireless phone charger, multi-view cameras and high-beam assist available depending on the trim. All versions now meet the latest European safety regulations with upgraded automatic emergency braking and enhanced driver-attention alerts.
2026 Dacia Jogger engines, performance and fuel economy
The new Dacia Jogger comes with a choice of two petrol-based engines. The familiar TCe 110 engine continues as the entry point to the range.
It’s a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder unit producing 109PS and 200Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. This gives a 0-62mph time of 11.2 seconds, a top speed of 111mph and an official combined fuel economy figure of 47mpg.
Sitting above it is the new Hybrid 155, which marks a significant upgrade for the Dacia Jogger. This combines a 1.8-litre petrol engine with two electric motors and a 1.4kWh battery, producing a total of 155PS. Power is sent to the front wheels through an automatic gearbox and the 0-62mph is improved to 9.0 seconds.
Economy also improves, with an official 61mpg and CO2 emissions of 104g/km, aided by the hybrid’s ability to run on electric power at low speeds and during gentle cruising.
Despite the difference, both versions share the same 111mph top speed. Towing capability varies slightly: the TCe 110 can tow up to 1200kg (braked), while the hybrid model is rated at up to 1000kg.
2026 Dacia Jogger trim levels
There are three trim levels to choose from – Essential, Expression and Extreme.
The entry-level Dacia Jogger Essential model includes 16-inch wheel covers over steel wheels, LED front and rear lighting and roof bars, manual air-con, front electric windows and Dacia’s Media Control smartphone-based infotainment system.
Expression adds automatic climate control, body-coloured trim, keyless entry, modular roof bars, automatic wipers, rear electric windows and an electric parking brake.
A 10-inch touchscreen with four speakers becomes standard while hybrid versions get the seven-inch digital driver display. Parking aids include front and rear sensors as well as a reversing camera.
The top-spec Dacia Jogger Extreme introduces a more rugged look with copper-brown exterior accents, 16-inch black alloy wheels and topographic side decals. Inside are heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, MicroCloud upholstery and a folding tablet holder.
Tech includes the Media Nav Live system with 10-inch touchscreen, 3D Arkamys audio, a wireless phone charger and multi-view cameras. Blind-spot warning and high-beam assist systems are also included.
Is the 2026 Dacia Jogger still the cheapest seven-seater in the UK?
Yes. Even with the £25 price rise, the Jogger remains comfortably the most affordable seven-seat new car on sale. Its closest seven-seat alternatives cost several thousand pounds more, meaning the Jogger continues to offer cracking value for money for larger families.
Which is better – the TCe 110 or the Hybrid 155?
We've yet to try the Hybrid 155 in the Jogger, but we've experienced it in other models. We suspect the TCe 110 will offer the best choice for buyers that prioritise low purchase costs and simple running, while the Hybrid 155 offers stronger performance, quieter low-speed driving and significantly better fuel economy. For regular urban driving or mixed use, the hybrid is likely to give you a more refined overall experience.
How big is the boot on the Dacia Jogger?
With all seven seats in place, the Jogger offers 212 litres of boot space, which is enough for school bags or a weekly shop. Folding down the third row of seats unlocks more than 2000 litres of maximum capacity, making it one of the most spacious cars in its class.
