Detailed analysis of the Dacia Lodgy Laureate TCE 85 kW (115 CV) 7 plazas · 116 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The Dacia Lodgy is not a car you choose with your heart, but with your head, and curiously, it ends up winning your heart. It represents the democratization of space, the materialization of a large family's dream to travel together, comfortably, and without breaking the bank. It is the honest and direct answer to a real need: maximum space for the minimum price.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Lodgy is surprising. Its 1.2 TCe 115 hp engine moves the car with unexpected ease, feeling agile in daily use and sufficient for long trips. Don't look for sportiness, but a calm and predictable drive. The suspension prioritizes comfort, filtering out bumps well at the cost of noticeable body roll in corners, a small price to pay for passenger well-being. It's a vehicle that invites you to enjoy the journey without rushing, with smooth steering that makes the city its ally.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is an ode to functionality. Form follows function almost dogmatically, with a cubic silhouette that screams 'interior space'. There are no superfluous ornaments or lines seeking to charm; its beauty lies in its honesty and the fulfilled promise of gigantic roominess. Inside, hard plastics are the norm, but they convey a sense of durability and ease of cleaning, thinking more about ice cream stains than ephemeral luxury.
Technology and features
The onboard technology is just what's necessary to make life easier, without frills that would increase the price. In this Laureate trim, we find essential elements like air conditioning or a radio with basic connectivity. The optional Media Nav infotainment system, in its day, was a valuable extra with its touchscreen and navigation, but today it feels simple. It's technology that works, reliable and uncomplicated, a true reflection of the car's philosophy.
Competition
The Dacia Lodgy competed in a league of its own: that of 7-seater MPVs at the price of a subcompact. Looking at its direct rivals by concept, like the Renault Grand Scénic or the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, meant almost doubling the budget. Its real competitors were second-hand vehicles or passenger vans, which didn't offer the same car-like feel or the warranty of a new car.
Conclusion
The Lodgy is a master purchase, an act of financial intelligence and pragmatism. It offers a real and spacious mobility solution for families who value every euro. It's a car that doesn't pretend to be what it isn't, and in that sincerity lies its greatest charm. More than just a vehicle, the Lodgy has been for many an enabler of experiences, of trips and family life that would have otherwise been impossible. A truly great car, in every sense.
