Four speeds for the ICE. There are many possible combinations of the three dog clutches, only 15 are valid. With only one ratio to the small HSG - that is why our friend is complaining about high engine revs to run slowly in serial mode uphill.

After a certain point, the software only needs to activate the output with the 1.6 engine. An electric motor that is always waiting ready (even if it is weak at that moment). Brother, you don't have power, you are still trying to support the 1.6 gasoline engine. Instead, we say okay, if you are very eager, let's prepare you too with the E-Save button. I can predict this on the road I go every day, but what about in cities I don't know???

Let me also mention a problem with the gearbox – I own a 1-month-old Dacia Jogger Hybrid with 1,500 miles on it. This morning, when starting off, the engine engaged first gear but struggled to disengage – the car jerked forward and backward about 5-6 times before it shifted from first to second. After a while, it also had trouble engaging first gear, accompanied by a horrible grinding sound, as if you're trying to engage first gear in a manual transmission without pressing the clutch. This is disgusting; I didn’t expect this from a brand-new car. I know Dacia isn’t one of the top brands, but I was still hoping not to have any issues, at least while the car is still under warranty.

Let us know how you get on. This particular issue was reported on a Clio a couple of years ago - seems a rare event given there were 250,000 on the road by 2023, but still annoying if you've got 'the one'...

Thanks Duckface! Today I went to the dealer - Sutton Park Renault - Birmingham, explained the problem, and mentioned what you said about Renault Clio. They scheduled me for a technical check-up on December 9th. They advised me that if it happens again, I should record details like the mode the gearbox was in (B or D), whether the engine was cold, the ambient temperature, etc. Let’s see what they’ll do. It’s very disappointing that the problems started in the first year, and now I understand why the new Dacia logo is a wrench.

Judging by what they've said, at least the dealer isn't trying to brush you off.

With the cooling of the air to 10 degrees, fuel consumption increased by 1-1.5 lt/100 km. My car was 3000 km long today.

So, the dealer didn't find any faults after yesterday's inspection. They told me there are no ECU fault codes, and the car was also tested with a 30-minute drive with no problems detected. Before driving the car, I added two issues to the list of problems—the first being that the wipers stopped working in automatic mode and only functioned on a timer, and the second, which is quite serious, is that twice the brakes lost servo assistance—the pedal becomes stiff and stays stuck in the up position, requiring a huge effort to start braking. The dealer said there’s no problem. I tested the wipers since it was raining when I took the car, and consequently, they do not work in automatic mode. Apparently, I’ll have to get used to these issues and fix them myself, just like with my previous car—a Škoda Karoq. After the dealer started ignoring some problems, I began addressing them with diagnostics, and apparently, with the Dacia, I’ll have to proceed the same way

I commented on this thread in January when I had just gone through 3,000 miles, trouble free. I am now 8 days off a year of ownership and just about to go through 22,000 miles, and still trouble free. As I stated in my earlier post you always be the odd car in a production when things go wrong but I haven’t heard of any issues on the hybrids on any of the forums I am a member of. And still getting circa 70mpg on my commute to and from the office when I go in!

I am awaiting delivery of an extreme hybrid jogger. A colleague collected theirs before Christmas and it is now back in with Dacia for the 3rd time as it keeps cutting out while driving. Apparently the fault can not be found.
I have been searching for others with this issue as my colleague says they know of 3 others, but have only found one or two online that are yet to be resolved.
So I'm wondering if anyone else has had or heard of issues with the hybrid cutting out? My colleague has recommended cancelling now before delivery but I'm wondering if that's a bit OTT?! Although it is making me nervous.
Thanks.

I finally sorted out all my problems with the Jogger, returned the car to Renault - Perry Barr Birmingham, and got myself a Duster. The Duster is definitely on a higher level – same engine, same battery, and drivetrain, but built better. I’m not saying it’s a perfect car, but for the price, it’s pretty good. In comparison, the Jogger is quite overrated – for the quality it offers, it should be sold for a maximum of 18k, at least that’s its price in Europe.

Where in Europe can you get a new Jogger hybrid for 18K ?

 

[SuperSonic72]

-that's a reaction to your reaction, make your own research. Btw I'm European.

That response to a perfectly reasonable question from @sydmichel suggests to me that you can't get a new Jogger Hybrid for £18,000, unless you can show us differently @SuperSonic72?

 

[Simon49]

Not sure if this is the exact one, I did research on the Spring, but it appears to be a Jogger hybrid for under 17K GBP

That's the price for a Petrol/LPG Essential. The Hybrid starts at €25,050 in Spain.

Ah OK, thank you for checking.

Ours does the same. Cruise control drops out. Press accelerator car dies let foot off press again and it goes. No faults found by Dacia dealer

Ours does exactly the same. Cuts out while driving have to take foot off gas then reapply same when pulling off. Dacia computer says no fault so they will not do anything about it until they see it physically happen. Very disappointed have numerous other issues too

heres list of Faults so far;
Press accelerator vehicle dies. Let foot off press again vehicle goes.Then get Warning Engine failure risk Red light on dash.

cruise control works intermittently. Sometimes just can’t get it to work at all.

cruise control just drops out whilst driving for no reason.

Electronic Handbrake failed a few times also stuck on couple of times.

Over revs when trying to change gear.

Difficulty changing gears (AUTOMATIC GEARBOX)

Radio not worked a few times.

iphone sometimes connects to media then just drops out even though it’s via iPhone cable not wireless as that just does NOT work at all.

But Dacia computer says No Faults ????

Apart from the above issues car is great value for money
