The second-row seats of the Dacia Jogger are in a position to fold forwards in an effort to present quick access to the third-row seats. Throughout this course of, I seen that in the event you hold each side of the two+1 cut up rear bench folded, then you definately get limo-levels of legroom and an important panoramic view of the cabin. Mixed with third-row facilities just like the armrests, cupholders, energy plug, fold-our rear home windows, and the upper seating place made this my favourite place to sit down within the Jogger.

Lastly, we shouldn’t overlook to say the rear tent extension which creates extra room for actions behind the camper.
