Performance and engines: power and economy on the Dacia Jogger and Renault Kangoo test bench
In this head-to-head, the engine is the heart of the battle. The Dacia Jogger stands out with a diverse range including a gasoline engine, a full hybrid, and even an LPG option. Power reaches up to 140 horsepower for some versions, promising a spirited drive with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of between 9.8 and 13.2 seconds. With a three- or four-cylinder engine, the Jogger is designed to offer a good balance between urban dynamism and ease on open roads. Its fuel consumption ranges from a very reasonable 4.7 to 7.7 liters per 100 km, a major asset for anyone watching the pump bill. For its part, the Renault Kangoo, with its decades of experience, offers gasoline, diesel, and electric powertrains, the latter boasting up to 130 horsepower and an electric range of up to 285 km, an ideal choice for daily commutes with zero direct emissions. Its generous torque, up to 270 Nm , optimizes driving on varied terrain and with heavy loads. The Kangoo isn’t a lightning bolt of a machine, with 0-100 km/h times between 11.6 and 15.6 seconds, but its reasonable fuel consumption figures (5.2 to 7.1 L for internal combustion engines) and its electrical efficiency give it serious advantages in terms of economy.
