Detailed analysis of the Dacia Lodgy Laureate 1.6 75 kW (102 CV) GLP 5 plazas · 102 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2012 Dacia Lodgy burst onto the market as a revelation for families seeking space and economy without compromise. This Laureate version with an LPG engine is not just a car, it's a statement of intent: maximum functionality and a ridiculously low cost per kilometer, wrapped in an honest and unpretentious body. It's the faithful companion for daily life and big family adventures.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Lodgy conveys a sense of robustness and simplicity. Its 102 horsepower is enough to move it with ease in daily traffic, although it feels just adequate when fully loaded. The suspension is clearly comfort-oriented, effectively absorbing bumps and making long trips more pleasant. Don't look for sportiness, but for a calm and predictable drive. The real thrill comes when visiting the gas station, where the savings from LPG bring a smile of satisfaction.
Design and aesthetics
The Dacia Lodgy's design is a triumph of function over form. Its boxy lines and tall height are not meant to win beauty contests, but to offer a cavernous interior space. Inside, the plastics are hard and durable, designed to withstand the demanding treatment of a family. Every centimeter is utilized, culminating in a gigantic 827-liter trunk that seems bottomless. It's an honest design that you fall in love with for its intelligence, not its appearance.
Technology and features
The technology in the Lodgy is strictly what's necessary. The Laureate trim adds comfort features like air conditioning and a basic audio system, but the real technological star is its factory-integrated LPG system. This dual-fuel capability not only drastically reduces running costs but also earns it the valuable ECO label, a passport to the city and an advantage that many more expensive and modern cars do not have.
Competition
At the time, the Lodgy competed against minivans and commercial derivatives like the Fiat Doblò, the Citroën Berlingo, or even entry-level versions of the Renault Grand Scénic. However, none could match its combination of a colossal trunk and an unbeatable purchase price. The Lodgy played in its own league, that of the ultra-smart buy.
Conclusion
The Dacia Lodgy LPG is much more than a cheap car; it's a brilliant mobility solution. It represents the freedom to travel with family without worrying about space or fuel costs. It's a vehicle that appeals to reason but generates deep affection for its loyalty and its ability to make life easier. A logical purchase that, over time, wins a place in your heart.
