How’s this for an opening? The Dacia Jogger is so easy to use an idiot can convert it from seven-seater people carrier to a two-seater van in two minutes flat. I know this because I just did.
There you go, and it is true, with just a few levers and toggles your Jogger can transform itself, and with no great physical or intellectual demands on its owner. It's brilliant. I think Dacia would have a winner here if they presented it as a flexible multi-purpose vehicle rather than always referring to it as the cheapest seven-seater car on the market, starting at £14,495. It has little competition in that niche, with the Land Rover Discovery and Audi A7 vastly more costly, and the fun Citroen Berlingo XL only available as an electric vehicle, at around £32,000.
